How To Choose Cycling Gloves
Here’s what to consider when choosing the best fall to summer gloves:
Fit: A proper fit is crucial for comfort and performance. Bicycle gloves should fit snugly without being restrictive. Our cycling leather gloves let you enjoy extended periods in the saddle without sacrificing comfort.
Leather Quality: Consider factors like thickness, softness, and whether the leather is treated for water resistance. Look for aesthetic factors too, such as the design touches and lining details on the leather.
Padding: Look for wind resistant gloves with adequate padding on the palm to absorb shock and reduce hand fatigue. Make sure the gloves offer comfort without sacrificing grip on the handlebar.
Grip: The palm material should provide a secure grip on the handlebars, even in wet conditions. Philleywood’s water resistant cycling gloves let you stay comfortable even on damp rides with Water resistant leather options.
