Buy road motorcycle gloves
Gloves, along with helmets, are the two most essential items when riding a motorcycle. Gloves should provide the necessary touch to be comfortable and safe during motorcycle riding, offering the necessary protection against abrasion since hands are often one of the first parts of the body to touch the ground in case of a fall.
There are two types of gloves based on their construction: fabric or leather. Both are highly resistant to abrasion and most include protections on the knuckle and palm area. Gloves made of textile fabric are usually more comfortable for long trips, interurban journeys, and even urban use since they tend to be more flexible, breathable, and lightweight. Leather gloves are usually highly resistant to abrasion and often part of the more sporty range. In addition to the material and protections, some gloves also incorporate features such as waterproof membrane, thermal lining, and other characteristics that complement the glove according to our needs.
The choice between textile or leather gloves will depend on personal preferences and type of riding, taking into account the climate in which you ride and the level of protection you seek; that's why at Motocard, we offer all types of motorcycle gloves whether for urban, sporty, or touring riding.

Types of road gloves
Waterproof gloves offer protection against rain thanks to the membrane that repels water and prevents it from seeping into the glove. There are many different waterproof technologies, but among them, the famous Gore-Tex®, Dainese's D-Dry, and Alpinestars' Drystar stand out. These gloves are ideal for use in winter and in humid and rainy climates.
Heated gloves provide warmth through a system of thermal resistors strategically located in the palm, back, and fingers to distribute heat evenly. They offer excellent comfort in extreme cold conditions and during winter riding. The heating system is usually adjustable by levels to adapt according to weather conditions. The system usually requires power from a removable battery and/or connector to the motorcycle's electrical system.
Gloves with Gore-Tex waterproof membrane guarantee protection against harsh weather conditions. Gore-Tex is a technology known for its high-layer technology that provides an effective barrier against rain, moisture, and wind, keeping hands dry and comfortable throughout the journey. Additionally, its breathability allows moisture to escape, preventing sweat buildup and ensuring optimal comfort.
Motorcycle gloves specifically designed for women's bodies ensure a better fit and provide greater comfort and safety during riding. Manufactured with adapted ergonomics, they guarantee optimal grip and adequate protection, resulting in a more enjoyable and safe riding experience.
Best gloves for each season
Winter gloves are made with windproof materials and have some type of insulating lining to prevent cold hands. These gloves usually also have some type of waterproof membrane, making them a waterproof and moisture-proof garment that keeps hands dry and comfortable in cold and rainy climates.
Summer gloves are made with ventilated mesh panels or small perforations to offer greater breathability and ventilation when the heat is on. These gloves usually offer reduced weight and feel lighter to prevent hand sweating in warm climates.
Motorcross, enduro, and trial gloves
Enduro and motocross gloves are usually lightweight to provide good feel on the controls and are breathable to evacuate heat and sweat during demanding competition stages or technical routes with stones and roots. Additionally, they offer protections and inserts for frequent impacts against branches, stones, and bushes.
Trial gloves are very light and low profile. They are designed to offer excellent feel in driving control. They offer a breathable and ventilated outer layer to quickly evacuate sweat and heat.

Questions about motorcycle gloves
How should motorcycle gloves be for riders?
Motorcycle gloves should be specifically designed to provide protection and comfort during riding. They should be made of durable and abrasion-resistant materials, such as leather or high-quality synthetic materials. Additionally, it's important that they have reinforcements in strategic areas, such as knuckles and palm, to offer additional protection in case of a fall. Gloves should be comfortable and fit hands without limiting movement, allowing good grip and feel.
Why use gloves on a motorcycle? What happens if you don't wear gloves on a motorcycle?
Wearing gloves on a motorcycle provides the necessary protection against abrasion in case of a fall and reduces the risk of hand injuries in case of an accident. Additionally, they help maintain grip and protect against adverse weather conditions such as cold and rain, contributing to the comfort and safety of the rider. If gloves are not worn on a motorcycle, the risk of hand injuries in case of an accident increases significantly, as well as the discomfort caused by wind, rain, or extreme cold.
How is the size of motorcycle gloves measured?
The size of gloves is usually measured with the circumference of the palm or even the length between wrist and fingers. Choosing a size too large or too small can cause discomfort and may even pose a risk due to lack of grip and feel with the motorcycle controls, also reducing the level of glove protection. At Motocard, we offer a visual section to easily choose the size of each product so you can easily select the corresponding size according to your hand measurements.
What safety elements are mandatory for riding a motorcycle?
Throughout Europe and other countries, the mandatory use of helmets is indisputable. However, the use of gloves is more permissive, so at Motocard, we care about your safety when riding a motorcycle, which is why we offer all types of gloves always with current approval and maximum protection to make your motorcycle journeys safer.
