Gloves are one of the most important part of motorcycle riding gear. There are two main reasons that make them important – Protection & Feedback for Good Motorcycle Control.

Protection – Gloves offer protection to your hands. In case of an unfortunate event, its possible that the hands of a motorcycle rider experience injuries to palms, knuckles, fingers or even wrists. Good pair of gloves will protect the rider’s hands to a great extent.

Feedback – Most of the motorcycle functions like starting the bike, turning, braking, accelerating all are controlled by hands. Its essential that the rider wears gloves that offer good feedback for better control & also comfort while riding.

The above factors become even more critical when choosing Waterproof Motorcycle Riding Gloves!

Why should you invest in Waterproof Riding Gloves?

Better Grip & Warmth – Motorcycle riding in rains although exciting can get uncomfortable as the rain water seeps in through your normal gloves. It could also be dangerous as the gloves might feel slippery not offering a satisfactory level of grip. A good pair of waterproof riding gloves will keep your hands warm & dry, offer the necessary grip & keep you protected.

Special Materials – They will have special materials like Goretex to avoid water going in or Thinsulate to provide the necessary insulation and prevent your hands getting cold.

Protect your normal leather gloves – You can use your regular riding gloves in rainy season because they might not offer you waterproofing, the grip could be substantially lesser once it starts raining & you might even spoil the leather. Using a backup pair of waterproof gloves would increase life of your standard riding gloves.

Riding in unpredictable Indian weather – In India we have many unseasonal showers apart from the usual rainy season. A good pair of winter waterproof riding gloves will always come handy in such unforeseen weather changes.
