What should I consider when buying motorcycle gloves online?
When purchasing motorcycle gloves, it is important to consider several factors to ensure that they are not only comfortable but also protective. Here are some important aspects to consider:
Safety standards
Make sure the gloves meet the required safety standards. For example, in Europe this should be the EN 13594 standard for motorcycle gloves.
Material
Motorcycle gloves are available in a variety of materials including leather, textile and mesh. Leather typically offers greater abrasion resistance, while textile and mesh gloves can be lighter and more breathable.
Fit
The fit is crucial to the comfort and functionality of the gloves. They should fit snugly, but not too tight, to ensure good freedom of movement. To make a better size selection, measure the circumference of your palm and compare the measurement with the glove-specific size charts. -
Protectors
Check whether the gloves have protectors on the knuckles and fingers. These provide additional protection in the event of a fall. For those who would like to do without this protection, we also have gloves without protectors in our range. This type of glove is characterized by more comfort.
Locking mechanism
Check the locking mechanism to ensure the gloves stay securely in place. Velcro, zippers, or straps are common types of closure.
Touchscreen compatibility
If you want to access your smartphone while driving, choose gloves with touchscreen-compatible fingertips.
Ventilation
In warm weather, ventilated gloves are important to avoid overheating. Pay attention to ventilation elements such as perforations or vents.
