The 9 Best cycle Gloves (2023 reviews)

Here, we review glove that manages to win our hearts. It's the giro cycle glove and it's widely considered as one of all-around great glove you can buy. If you are a person who doesn't want a lot of padding, these would probably be an excellent choice and a good value. The padding is light but just enough to allow for a good tactile sense of the bike under normal conditions of road riding. The gloves are comfortable and fit well, the velcro just doesn't last. The snot-wiping fabric on the thumb is nice, it actually can absorb a little bit, unlike some other gloves which have virtually nothing there.

These are good gloves for in the heat or if you want great contact with the bars. The padding is also in the thin side.

Why We Like This:

Fit well and make riding much better
Comfortable, fit correctly and have some padding to help the palms of your hands
Delivers what they promise

Best For numbness: Giro Size chart

Buy on Amazon

If you often find yourself scrambling for convenient and suitable glove, giro size chart is your end point. These gloves fit fantastic, the ulnar isn’t pinched, the padding isn’t too little or too much. The "g" tab on the velcro closure is nice as it makes it easier to pull the velcro apart. The "cuff" area that has the velcro folds over easily. It fits well, serves purpose as intended. The velcro then attaches to the top of the glove so it has to be pealed away.

The finger loops for removing them seem to work well, the palm is soft leather and the material is nice. It works great on putting your weight on the handle bars especially on the drops when necessary.

Why We Like This:

Very comfortable glove and most of all forgiving for road shock
Dry inside house, away from sun
Love real leather palms, great fit

Best For cyclist: Pearl Izumi cycle Glove

It has ventilation in the palm pads so are a definite improvement over the prior version. They also look well made. It will last much longer and also it is genius and deserves a medal.

Best For Cold Weather: Castelli cycle Glove

Buy on Amazon

Castelli offers a variety of glove for personal choice and yet maintaining quality in all the variants. These cold weather cycling gloves are well made and warm. They keep your fingers warm down to about 37 degrees for about one hour. In light rain or drizzles, these gloves keep your hands dry unless you are out there all day. The Castellis have little abrasive strips on the fingers that make using the brake levers confident, even wet weather.

This glove leverages castelli’s proprietary castelli damping system which offers optimal protection of the median nerve against steady road vibrations to prevent discomfort while on the bike. They're pretty tight and fairly difficult to put on, and they do not have touch-screen fingertips. The thickness is also a plus most of the time. The gloves come off pretty easily, and go right back on, unless your hands are wet weather.

Molds well to hands, keeps hands warm in non-extreme cool/cold weather, plenty of dexterity

Best For Riding: Sealskinz lobster Waterproof Cycling Glove

Buy on Amazon

Sealskinz offers a variety of glove for personal choice and yet maintaining quality in all the variants. It comes in a heavy duty, lobster claw-style waterproof cycling glove.

Why We Like This:

Zero liner movement provides excellent control
Reflective material for visibility in low light conditions
Three layer construction for warmth, durability and waterproofing

Best For Winter Cycling: Castelli warmest Glove

Buy on Amazon

Not everyone likes to purchase glove for their daily usage, but the castelli warmest glove would be an anomoly. These are almost too warm after some climbs while riding. They do not inhibit touch and feel while on the bike. The Gore-Tex Infinium Windstopper fabric provides total wind protection, while a warm fleece liner is soft on the hands and provides optimal warmth. The Palms feature a silicone print for enhanced grip, and a pad for protection and comfort for all-day rides.

These are warmer than the pearl izumi amfib gloves. They air dry pretty quickly. They also aren’t padded enough so besides having cold hands, they also don’t protect your palms at all.

Why We Like This:

Cyclists seeking the warmest cold-weather glove with premium wind stopping protection
Very nice gloves for the cold
Good investment for long term

Best For summer: Hestra Durable outdoor Glove

Not even a little bit water-resistant
Durable outdoor glove with ergo grip construction for improved fit and motion

Best premium: Hestra cycle Glove

We would, of course, be remiss if we didn't mention hestra cycle glove for daily purpose. The areas of the hand exposed to the greatest impacts are protected by a new material with intelligent molecules. Thermolite retains its insulating properties even when wet. The d3o-material is soft and elastic until it receives an impact or vibration. It is made of over one hundred individual pieces.
