How many amateur cyclists do you know that don’t wear gloves while riding? If you say most of them, we won’t be surprised. However, now look at professional cyclists – they always wear gloves, in summer- and wintertime. Cycling gloves are a basic accessory, as they protect your hands in case you fall down. Also, they will ensure you a better grip of the handlebars, so that your control over the bike is as good as possible. After some hours on the seat, it’s normal that your hands start feeling numb. Gloves will give you the padding and extra comfort you need. As your hands aren’t pressing so hard on the handlebars, your blood will flow more fluidly and your hands won’t feel so numb.
As you see, there are a lot of reasons to use gloves whilst riding. That’s why we have compiled this list of the Top 10 cycling gloves at Santafixie, classified in two categories (winter and summer gloves). In line with our quality and exclusivity policy, at Santafixie we offer you the best cycling gear for cycling with maximum comfort and safety. All these gloves can be found on our website.
