Cycling Gloves Giro

Do you want to know more about cycling gloves?

Cycling gloves are essential protective clothing in any cyclist's kit. These garments serve to protect the hands and keep them safe at all times.

Cyclists grip the handlebars through the gloves, which serve to dampen vibrations of the bicycle while it is in movement, and reduce the pressure on the hands when holding the handlebars for long periods of time.

As well as being good at preventing hand injuries, gloves are also an important protection against possible falls. When you fall on your bike, the first part of the body to touch the ground are the hands and that is why wearing cycling gloves can prevent minor and more serious injuries.

When choosing gloves, it is essential to look at models that offer a breathable fabric and that have silicone inserts or a thicker fabric in the palm. These silicone inserts are ideal for protecting the hands and providing a better grip when holding the handlebar. It is also important to take into account the kind of cycling that they will be used for, since the same design is not required for road racing as for downhill mountain biking.

The time of year is also important when choosing cycling gloves. There are models that have mesh to aid ventilation, which are very efficient for summer. On the other hand, there are others that combine neoprene and fabrics that are perfect for winter, since they are resistant to the cold and breathable at the same time.
