Cycling Gloves & Mitts
Cycling gloves come in various forms including full finger summer and winter gloves and mitts (half finger gloves favoured by road racers and tourering cyclists). Gloves are important to protect your hands, keep your grip secure and keep them warm in winter. You definitely want to think about gloves if you are riding any considerable distance since you will get to a sudden point where your skin becomes painful and very uncomfortable, normally when you dont expect it due to constant pressure and vibrations from the ride.

Also since you won't be moving your hands much in comparsion to other parts of the body they are going to get cold quickly in bad weather as they are the first thing to hit the wind and rain. Track Mitts was the old fashioned term given to finger less cycling gloves.

This will obviously affect your ability to brake, change gear or use your mobile! Remember too that cycling gloves - especially mitts can be a life saver if you hit the deck. A rough road can rip your hands to shreds to think about getting a pair. Some gloves also have gel inserted into the palms to reduce reprtative injury to the hands. Marathon riders will use these in this case.

Down hill mountain bike riders may also have knuckle protection in the form of plastic. It turns out that most mountain bikers will use long fingered gloves even in summer - again to protect the hands and fingers in the event of a crash! Buy Cycling Gloves, Racing Mitts & MX Mountain Bike Gloves
