Men’s Road & Gravel Cycling Gloves

Grip that holds. Comfort that lasts. Our men’s road & gravel cycling gloves are tuned for speed, control, and protection—summer mitts to storm‑ready shells—so your hands stay steady when the pace or weather turns.

Pick Your Protection

Fingerless: low‑bulk bar feel and ventilation for heat and race pace.

Lightweight full‑finger: extended coverage with breathable backs for long miles on mixed surfaces.

Insulated / softshell: warmth without bulk for cold, dry rides—pair with jackets & vests.

Waterproof shells: seam‑sealed protection for rain days—see Men’s Wet Weather.

Temperature Guide

70°F+: fingerless gloves for max airflow and bar feel.

55–70°F: lightweight full‑finger for a touch more coverage without heat buildup.

45–55°F: lightly insulated / softshell full‑finger for cool mornings and shoulder season.

30–45°F: insulated, windproof gloves; add a thin liner if needed.

Below 30°F: insulated, waterproof shells with liners; pair with shoe covers to seal out cold and spray.

Wet or windy? Bump up one level and consider a shell from Men’s Wet Weather.

Padding, Grip & Control

Choose minimal padding for direct feel or targeted gel for vibration damping on rough gravel. Textured palms boost grip in wet or dusty conditions, while pull tabs and soft nose‑wipes add real‑ride function.

Road Speed. Gravel Range.

Road: streamlined, low‑profile gloves cut flap and keep the bar feel quick.

Gravel: tougher face fabrics and secure cuffs stand up to washboard and long self‑supported days. When it’s truly foul, add shoe covers to complete the weather seal.

Fit & Sizing — Dial It In

A glove should fit close without pinch, with fingers reaching the tips and no bunching at the palm. Use our Size & Fit Guide to confirm your size.

Layer Like a System

Match hands to conditions: start with breathable base layers, then add wind protection or go full wet‑weather when storms roll in.

FAQ

Fingerless vs. full‑finger—what’s better?
Fingerless wins in heat and for maximum bar feel; full‑finger adds protection and versatility for gravel and cooler temps.

Are waterproof gloves breathable?
Yes—look for waterproof/breathable membranes and vent when climbing; pair with a wicking base and a shell from Wet Weather to manage inside/out moisture.

How should I wash cycling gloves?
Check care labels; generally, close fasteners, machine wash gentle, and air‑dry to preserve shape and padding.
