Cool, grippy hands on warm-weather rides and range days

Pull these on and your hands stay cool, dry and in control. The back of the hand is a thin stretch fabric, the palm is a supple microfiber, and a single vented layer lets heat out, so July rides, range days and long hours on the job stay comfortable. A textured grip panel keeps the bars, the grip and the tool handle exactly where you put them.

Everything you want in a tactical riding glove is here: full fingers for dexterity, a molded hard shell across the knuckles, four raised domes over the finger joints, a reinforced grip palm, and touchscreen pads on the index finger and thumb. Close fitting, light, and easy to forget you are wearing them.

A vented full-finger shell with real hardware on the knuckles

One molded hard shell curves across the back of the hand and covers all four knuckles in a single piece. Below it, four raised domes sit over the first joint of each finger. Both are rigid to the touch and both are stitched into the glove, so they stay put when you grab, haul and ride.

The palm is a soft microfiber with a textured grip panel stitched across it, running from the heel of the hand out to the base of the fingers. You feel the bars and the tool handle through it, which is what gives you that precise, planted hold.

At the wrist, a ribbed elastic cuff with a hook-and-loop strap and a small pull tab lets you snug the glove down in one move, and it stays where you put it.

Answer, navigate and pay without pulling a glove off

There is a conductive pad on the fingertip of the index finger and on the tip of the thumb, on the palm side. Those two points are the ones you use to tap, swipe and pinch-zoom on a phone screen.

Check a map, take a call, drop a pin or skip a track at a stop, with both gloves still on and nothing to lose in a pocket.

Find your size in ten seconds

These gloves are cut snug and sized by palm width: the distance straight across your palm at the knuckles, with the thumb left out. Read the number on a tape and pick the matching size.

• Medium - palm width 3.3-3.7 in (8.5-9.5 cm)
• Large - palm width 3.7-4.1 in (9.5-10.5 cm)
• Extra Large - palm width 4.1-4.5 in (10.5-11.5 cm)

On a boundary between two sizes, size up: the elastic cuff and wrist strap take up any slack, and a roomy knuckle shell feels better than a tight one. Cut to an Asian size standard, so buy to the chart rather than the letter you usually wear.
