Providing protection for your hands and then some, motorcycle gloves with extended cuffs have a number of advantages over shorter versions. The longer length of a gauntlet style glove extends beyond your wrist to provide additional abrasion resistance as well as weatherproofing. When you combine a waterproof jacket with a pair of waterproof gauntlet gloves, the overlap between the long cuffs and the jacket sleeves creates an impenetrable barrier against the rain. This overlap also works wonders in cold weather as a means of preventing the wind from tunneling up your sleeve.

Motorcycle gauntlet gloves are also available for summer weather riding for those purely interested in the added abrasion resistance. Whether you’re looking for protection from the tarmac or the elements, RevZilla has a wide selection of textile and leather gauntlet motorcycle gloves to choose from. If you're still looking at your hands, thinking "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" on short cuff versus long, check out our article that gives a more in depth breakdown on the pros and cons.
