A long day of riding can take a toll on every part of your body, especially your hands. Twisting throttles and pulling clutches can blister and bruise, especially if done without the protection of riding gloves. A good pair of gloves is the finishing touch to your riding ensemble, providing an extra layer of comfort, protection, and even style.
It doesn’t matter where you ride, gloves will always be a necessity. Going top speeds on the freeway can subject your hands to the elements, causing chaffing, numbness, and other discomforts. Meanwhile, riding through dirt, gravel, or sand with your hands exposed can subject them to some serious damage. Don’t let the lightweight and thin construction of gloves fool you – their fabric has been designed to protect hands in the event of a crash, offering a barrier between the ground and your skin. Riding gloves aren’t just good for protection, however, they also make holding onto any set of bars much easier. Clenching a pair of vibrating bars with tough grips can be very uncomfortable, so having a pair of gloves in between can make the ride more bearable, giving you the energy to go even longer.
With so many sizes, styles, and brands of gloves to choose from, you’re bound to find a pair that fits your needs. If it doesn’t fit, utilize our Fit Guarantee program to get the shipping paid for on your first exchange and take the hassle out of ordering your next pair of riding gloves.

I love these gloves. They are very comfy, very waterproof in pouring rain, and nice and warm in the cold. In warm weather they also do a great job and I only switch gloves when the temps get into the upper 80s or 90. I figure at those temps everything is going to be hot anyway. So far I have been happy with all of my MSR stuff, especially for the price verse the durability and features. Good materials, well made, no problems. I use them everyday except when it is to hot and then they are near by just in case. Owned this pair for almost two years now and would buy these again over and over. Thinking about buying another pair just to have on the shelf in case someone steals them or it gets lost somehow. Can not say enough good things.

I got these along with the Xplorer ADV Jacket and Pants (which are AMAZING). They're really comfy from the start. They kept my hands pretty warm on all but the 45 degree days on a 10 day trip, probably due to the wind blocking. I wouldn't expect them to be much protection in a faster road get-off, but for slower adv/dirt, they should do fine. My only gripe is the device screen touch seemed to work ok at first, but then pretty much stopped working, at least on the left hand. The right worked great. I just washed them so we'll see.

Right hand glove fit great but left one was not so good. Size wise they fit a little big. I wear a xl in most and got large for these. I fit size was good at large. Haven't wore them much hopefully with some break in the left fits better

Best gloves for hot days. The gloves are very comfortable and flow a lot of air.

Very warm glove, add an inter liner and it does a good job on near freezing days. Do not get wet, they soak up water like a sponge !

Very thin liners. They don't do a lot. OK, they must add a bit of insulating properties, but not a ton. I'm sure there's better out there. I have Klim gear, and usually it's awesome, but these... meh.
