Features Of Gloves Used In Winter Bike Trips

Winter season is undoubtedly tough and challenging, but bike riders are ready to take on this challenge. They are never hesitant in planning a long bike ride trip of several thousand kilometres. They are confident about their triumph because they know that they have the best riding gear available in the form of jackets, gloves, riding pants and so on. The most important from winter point of view is the gloves because when a bike runs, the finger or the hands suffer the most brutal conditions in the form of chilly winds. Hence, it is recommended to choose winter riding gloves carefully and while doing so, here are the features that you need to keep in focus.

TACTILE SUPPORT

Vendors of motul and motorex accessories and products say that the most important feature that riding gloves should have is the tactile support. There should be silicon pad on the "palm" side of the gloves because it is known to give a better grip on the handle as well as the levers. There should not be any kind of bunch-up present on the knuckle part of the gloves because they may restrict your knuckles movement while riding. 

INSULATION & WEATHER-PROTECTION

The secret to stay prevented from cold during winter season is to keep yourself away from it as much as possible and gloves can do this very easily if they have insulation properties and features related to weather-protection. Particularly, for gloves that are to be used in winters, you need to ensure that there is no ventilation system present as it will preserve the internal warmth right there only, inside the gloves. 

FINGER AND KNUCKLE PROTECTION

Yes, bunch up should not be there at the knuckle point, but safety is needed more and this can be done by placing armoured pads on the top and bottom of the gloves. For added safety and protection, there must be an individual pad on top of every knuckle as well as on the palm and the side of the hand.
