Women Cycling gloves

Bike gloves for women: always have a firm grip on the handlebars

Well-equipped bike gloves are at least as important as the right bike clothing and the right saddle. With them, you always have a firm grip on your handlebars and can safely keep your direction of travel, whether you're riding a racing bike on the road or a mountain bike off-road. Adapted to the different requirements of each season, short-finger gloves are the right choice in summer, while in winter you can opt for well-lined, windproof and waterproof cycling gloves with long fingers.

Bike gloves with functions and comfort

It is clear from your posture alone that a large part of your body weight rests not only on the saddle, but also on the handlebars. This can cause pressure points and blisters on your hands over long lengths. Appropriately equipped bike gloves made from functional material with comfortable padding on the palm of the hand ensure that you have a secure grip on your handlebars without blisters or pressure points.

To ensure this, good cycling gloves for women are equipped with the following features:

• Ideally, cycling gloves for women are padded on the palm to prevent pressure points and blisters.
• So that you don't slip off the handlebar grip, some cycling gloves have a rubberised palm.
• Velo gloves offer you individual weather protection. In winter, windproof and water-repellent material keeps the cold and wet out, while in summer, for example, thin mesh materials ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Mountain bikers rely on robust materials that provide optimum protection and are forgiving if you scrape along undergrowth or fall.
• Bike gloves need to fit perfectly. They should be relatively tight, but not restrict you. The material should not wrinkle. That's why cycling gloves are usually made of elasticated material, such as well-ventilated mesh in summer or GORE-TEX® with a weather protection membrane in winter.
• Many gloves are now compatible with touchscreens. This means that the fingertips are equipped so that you can operate your smartphone while wearing gloves.
• Most glove models have an individually adjustable velcro fastener on the wrist to ensure a perfect fit.
• Some models for summer are equipped with a terrycloth insert in the thumb area, which you can use to easily wipe the sweat from your forehead.
• Most models have practical loops to make it easier to take them off.

Bike gloves for every terrain

Whether racing bike or mountain bike, bike gloves for women need to fit. In summer, short-fingered gloves with padded palms and good grip are suitable for both sports. Some high-quality models even have small holes in the palm for good ventilation. Airy mesh material is often used on the back of the hand, which protects the hand but also provides sufficient ventilation in hot weather.

Long-finger gloves are recommended for the transition period, as they are usually ergonomically designed and therefore fit the hand and fingers perfectly. In this way, they allow you sufficient mobility and also offer very good grip.

When buying gloves, mountain bikers pay particular attention to the robustness of the material, as it is exposed to particular stresses and strains, straight when it comes to downhill activities. Both leather and synthetic leather as well as robust synthetic fibres such as polyester or polyamide are used to make mountain bike gloves for women. Due to the increased risk of falling, mountain bike gloves are also padded and often have plastic caps on the fingers and knuckles to protect against injuries in the event of falls at high speed.
