Harley Riding Gloves

A good pair of Harley riding gloves can make a world of a difference. You need a pair that offers protection, comfort, and style. Fortunately, we carry a wide variety to choose from to match every rider’s needs.

As for styles, riders can choose from traditional length, full fingered gloves, fingerless, and gauntlet. Many cruiser riders prefer the fingerless Harley gloves in the warmer months. They often offer the most ventilation, but the least amount of protection. Riders also like fingerless because they tend to provide more feel to the bars. Short cuff, full fingered gloves are the most popular as the offer great protection and warmth. Gauntlet gloves are for the riders who want the most coverage and protection.

Protection is the number one job of Harley gloves. That being said, a pair made of high-quality leather will provide excellent abrasion protection. For the most protection, choose a pair of race gauntlet gloves with knuckle armor built in. Modern materials like Kevlar have made textile gloves a decent choice for protection as well.

With the advent of touchscreens, gloves with touchscreen compatible fingertips have become a must. If you’re often using a smart phone or display with touchscreen, be sure to choose a pair of Harley gloves with touchscreen fingertips or fingerless gloves.

Comfort is also important. Harley gloves with padded palms and fingers offer protection against handlebar vibrations. Pre-curved fingers and flexible material work to reduce fatigue throughout the day. You need to also choose the level of ventilation for the temps that you ride in.
