Some of the varieties available in the
Motorcycle Gloves are:
Summer gloves: These are in fact nothing more than simple and thin leather
gloves. These do not have any lining and dont provide any resistance to
water. Summer gloves are of two types: With and without fingers.
Medium weight gloves: Medium weight motorcycle gloves are the kinds, which
are almost the type between summer gloves - and winter gloves. Most of the
riders use these kinds of motorcycle gloves. Some of these gloves have a
lining and some of them dont. They are available in all sorts and styles
Winter gloves: Winter motorcycle gloves are much more thicker than the
medium weight gloves. They are made such that they keep your hands warm
during the cold weathers. They should also be the kind that can handle the
rains.
Rain gloves: The rain motorcycle gloves are most often nothing more than a
plastic covering meant to keep the rain out. Since they are made of plastic,
they get very slippery on the control handle. They also tend to get very
bulky. But well, you cannot ignore the fact that they are often quite cheap
and also very easy to simply carry along.
Points to keep in mind before selecting a
pair of motorcycle gloves :
Do ensure that the padding and the lining of the motorcycle gloves dont
provide any hindrance to your feel of the controls.
And do remember before buying that you will have to get accustomed to the
idea of having fatter and bigger fingers. So remember this while choosing
your gloves.
And if your normal gloves are good at providing the waterproof utility then
you might not even need rain motorcycle gloves.
Do remember to use a motorcycle glove chart size in order to check the size
that you will need.
And it is very important for you to check out the stitching along the lines
of the gloves. This is to ensure that the rainwater does not seep in through
the stitches and give you extra cold hands.
These gloves are available with most automobile dealers & petrol pumps
across India.
