Roeckl 189 Men's Short Glove
Roeckl are known favourably throughout the world for their cycling gloves, making some of the best quality short and long fingered gloves for all weather conditions and riding styles.
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. Protectors from vibration, sun, cold and impact and should be an essential part of your cycling kit.
