There are cycling gloves on the market for all occasions - summer, winter and for transition.
They are also available in all price ranges.
But what should be considered when making a purchase decision?
Cycling gloves are available with Velcro or zippers or with a waistband made of stretch material.
The best choice is a glove with a Velcro fastener: This can be closed more tightly as required and allows a certain flexibility.
If the Velcro fastener is also provided with harder rubber elements, it is easier to grip.
Either foam pads or gel pads are used for cushioning: foam rarely retains its cushioning material properties over a long period of time.
Gel pads, on the other hand, offer long-lasting, homogeneous cushioning.
Touchscreen-compatible sew-ons are also integrated in many cycling gloves, so that the smartphone can also be operated easily with gloves.
Furthermore, a wiping towel can often be found on the side of the thumb, which offers a quick remedy for a dripping nose.
This terry cloth can also be used to clean fogged glasses.
After use, the gloves can simply be cleaned in the washing machine.
