7 Awesome Summer MTB Gloves

We round up our favourite MTB summer gloves

Hands, feet and bum. They are the three contact points we have with our bikes, and they each need to be looked after.

Your hands undergo a lot of stress and strain on the bars, pulling and shifting levers, twisting the bars with a life-gripping grasp.

How To: Avoid sore hands from MTB

You need good contact and grip on your handlebars, and the grips themselves aren’t always the most forgiving of things to use barehanded. Having well-fitted and suitable gloves can protect you from blisters, cuts and abrasions.

No one likes hot sweaty hands when riding, so we’ve rounded up our favourite summer riding gloves.
