Top Summer Motorcycle Gloves to Keep You Riding Comfortably in the Heat

It's hot...damn hot. The roads looks like they are melting, and the flies are finding shade. But some of us either must ride to work, ride for work or there are those rebellious souls that will ride because they want to, whatever the weather. But even the toughest of all riders know that riding in the heat can be uncomfortable and can affect your control of the bike. Having the right gear in hot summer months can make a hell of a difference in your ride. Let's start with the best Summer Motorcycle Gloves.

Sweaty palms are an all too familiar feeling amongst riders, so the right Summer Motorcycle Gloves will keep you comfortable and your hands will be protected while maintaining control of the bike. Whether you ride a lot or a little, you need gloves that offer protection, breathability and feel comfortable. If you can throw in some style as well, you are a winner.

Key Features to Look for in Summer Motorcycle Gloves

When it's hot, you need gloves that do more than just protect your hands. Let's have a look at the main features needed in gloves for those hot rides. 

1. Breathability: Summer Gloves should have airflow. Look for gloves that are either a breathable mesh material or perforated leather gloves. These will keep your hands cooler and keep the sweat away.

3. Flexibility & Comfort: Gloves need to be comfortable and non-restrictive. Your hands should have enough free movement to control the bike. 
4. Moisture-Wicking: The sweat will be there but Summer Motorcycle Gloves with moisture-wicking materials will help a lot. They will keep the sweat away and give you better grip on the handlebars. 
5. Durability: Leather is the best choice for riders but there are other materials that will still do a great job. Whichever material you choose, gloves should be durable and able to pack a punch while still being comfortable and breathable.
