WARM WEATHER RIDES
GLOVES ARE NOT JUST FOR WINTER.
Gloves aren't only for winter. Our summer gloves are designed with breathable materials, durable padding, and moisture wicking technology, keeping you cool, comfortable, and in control on all terrains. So you can focus on the journey ahead, not the heat.
COVERAGE
Short Finger or Full Finger?
| Short finger | Full finger | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Road and gravel in the heat | Trail riding, brush, and cool mornings |
| Coverage | Palm and back of hand, fingers exposed | Full hand including fingertips |
| Bar feel | Maximum, bare fingertips on the levers | Very good, slightly muted |
| Sun protection | Back of hand only | Full coverage |
| Trade-off | No fingertip protection in a crash | Runs warmer on the hottest days |
Most of our gloves come in both versions of the same model, so this is not a choice between two different gloves. Pick the model for its padding and fit, then pick the coverage for your terrain.

Summer Cycling Gloves FAQs
Do I really need gloves in summer?
Yes, and for reasons that have nothing to do with warmth. Gloves absorb road buzz that causes hand numbness, give you grip when your palms are sweating, protect your hands in a crash, and cover the back of your hand from sun on long days.
Short finger or full finger gloves?
Short finger suits road and gravel riding in the heat, where bar feel and airflow matter most. Full finger suits trail riding, where brush and crash protection outweigh a few degrees of warmth, and cool mornings on any bike. Most of our models come in both, so you can keep the padding and fit you like and just change the coverage.
How should cycling gloves fit?
Snug with no bunching in the palm, which is what causes hot spots and blisters. You should be able to make a fist without the fabric pulling tight across your knuckles. If there is loose material where your palm meets the bar, size down.
How much padding do I need?
Less than most riders assume. Padding absorbs vibration, but too much reduces bar feel and can press on the nerve it is meant to protect. Start with light padding and only move up if you get numbness on rides longer than two hours.
Why do my hands go numb on long rides?
Usually pressure on the ulnar nerve where your palm meets the bar. Padding placed over that zone helps, but so does changing hand position regularly, relaxing your grip, and checking that your bar height is not putting too much weight through your hands.
Are cycling gloves touchscreen compatible?
Most of ours are, with conductive material on the thumb and index finger, so you can use a phone or head unit without taking them off. Check the product page if that matters to you.
How do I wash cycling gloves?
Cold wash on a gentle cycle, then air dry away from direct heat. Skip fabric softener, which coats the palm material and reduces grip. Wash them regularly, since salt from sweat degrades padding and gripper prints over time.
