"To measure your hand width, lay your measuring device flat on the table and place your palm down on top of it. Measure the widest part of the palm, then repeat the process for your other hand. Use the larger of the two numbers when ordering after checking the size chart. Hands can vary in size slightly, even though we assume them to be equal.
If the gloves you're looking at are sized by hand circumference, wrap the measuring tape around your palm behind the knuckles, keeping it taut to ensure an accurate measurement. Don’t include the thumb. Easy! Compare to the size chart, and you should be good to go." - Andy Greaser

Motorcycle Gloves FAQ's

What's the difference between a gauntlet and a short-cuff glove?
A gauntlet glove is a "long-cuff" glove that goes over the sleeve of your jacket. It provides maximum protection by ensuring there's no gap between your jacket and glove. A "short-cuff" glove stops at your wrist, offering a more casual look and better airflow, making it great for city riding and hot weather. Read more about gauntlet vs short-cuff gloves here.

What kind of protection should I look for in a glove?
A hard knuckle protector is among the more effective glove features. This protects the back of your hand from impacts. You should also look for a "palm slider," which is a piece of hard plastic or reinforced leather on the heel of your palm. This helps your hand slide on the pavement instead of "grabbing," which can lead to severe injuries.

Are leather or textile gloves better?
It depends on the type of riding. Leather (like goatskin or kangaroo) offers the best combination of abrasion resistance and "feel" on the controls, making it the top choice for track and sport riding. Textile and mesh gloves are excellent for hot weather, commuting, and adventure riding, as they offer great airflow and are often waterproof.

How should my motorcycle gloves fit?
Your gloves should fit like a second skin, with no bunched-up material in the palm and no tightness across the back of your hand when you make a fist. The fingertips should end just at the end of your fingers. When you grip the handlebars, the glove shouldn't pull tight or restrict your movement. Learn more about motorcycle glove fitment here.
