Product Information
Ladies Roeckl 050 Short Gloves
Wearing gloves when cycling is one of those things many of us take for granted and yet there are many people who don't, perhaps unaware of the benefits to be had. Benefits mainly to do with comfort and safety. Benefits that far outweigh the modest purchase cost.
Gloves allow for a better grip of the handlebars. They absorb some of the road shock leaving you with less hand and arm fatigue after a ride. They have toweling on the thumb to wipe sweat from your brow and to catch that cold morning drip from the nose. They cover the back of the hand, keeping harmful UV rays at bay and offer some protection from chilly breezes. But perhaps the most significant benefit is the hand protection provided should you be unlucky enough to crash. Even a relatively minor tumble at slow speed can see injury or loss of skin as the reflex action of putting a hand down to break the fall results in your hand coming into contact with the roadway.
Gloves, although often quite stylish like these Roeckl 's, aren't really fashion items. They are hand protectors.
Gloves should be bought as small as you can comfortably fit into. Quite a snug fit, as they will conform to your hand shape and will become easier to fit and remove after some use.
If you don't have cycling gloves yet, do yourself a favour!!
