Motorcycle Gloves

The process of buying motorcycle gloves, like riding a motorcycle, is ultimately a balancing act. Comfort, protection, insulation, and water-resistance must be weighed alongside cost, materials, features, and styles. To help you with that process, we offer the following tips on motorcycle glove styles, materials, and features.

Motorcycle Glove Styles
The joke with motorcycle gloves is that they come in two styles: black and blacker. But color is only one element of style, and there are a surprisingly large number of style options for the prospective motorcycle glove buyer.

One important style choice is finger length. Full-fingered motorcycle gloves offer increased protection from scrapes and cold, and in humid or hot conditions, full-fingered motorcycle gloves will protect your grip against rain and sweat. In summer, the extra ventilation offered by fingerless motorcycle gloves will keep your hands cool, or you can combine the benefits of both by selecting the increased dexterity of vented, i.e. knuckle-less, motorcycle gloves.

Motorcycle Glove Materials
The motorcycle gloves at OnlyGloves.com are made from a variety of natural and synthetic materials, including leather, cowhide, Kevlar, deerskin, lambskin.

Kevlar is a tremendously strong material that was originally used to make bullet proof vests. Kevlar motorcycle gloves will withstand the toughest outdoor conditions.

Leather is of course the quintessential motorcycle glove material. A pair of quality leather motorcycle gloves will endure coldness and moisture without stiffening or sticking. The best leather motorcycle gloves are unmatched for their supple fit and reliable grip.

Motorcycle Glove Features
Motorcycle glove features can provide both extra protection and added style. Gel padding and adjustable wrist straps are highly popular motorcycle glove features. Gauntlet motorcycle gloves, which feature an extended protective sleeve that hearkens back to medieval jousting, remain one of the safest motorcycle apparel choices.
