Short Cuff Motorcycle Gloves

Your hands are vital for living a full life. You use them for virtually everything you do, whether it’s cooking, typing, washing, putting on clothes, driving a car or riding a motorcycle. When it comes to motorcycling, you use your hands to operate most bike controls. But, unfortunately, your hands are also the first body parts that contact the ground in case of an accident. Without proper protection, you risk getting a serious hand injury that may take a long time to heal. This is why gloves are a must when riding a bike. Motorcycle gloves come in many styles, each offering different levels of protection and intended for different purposes.

Short cuff motorcycle gloves provide the ultimate blend of performance and comfort. They are designed to offer maximum protection for your fingers and palms, but unlike gauntlet (long cuff) gloves they don’t cover your wrists. Lightweight, breathable, yet highly protective, these gloves are ideal for riding in summer or warm weather. Gloves with a short cuff are also used by motocross and dirt bike riders because this style allows for maximum wrist movement that is so much needed when operating a motocross or dirt bike. Short cuff motocross gloves are usually made from durable leather but feature stretchy textile inserts to ensure flexibility without compromising safety.

On our virtual shelves, we’ve gathered an extensive selection of top-of-the-line short cuff gloves made by industry-leading manufacturers. Designed for warm spring and summer, they either feature mesh inserts or vents or are perforated to ensure excellent ventilation and keep your hands from sweating. While a great majority of gloves we carry are made from abrasion- and impact-resistant leather, they are also reinforced with advanced protective elements to cushion possible blows. Many gloves feature carbon fiber or TPU injected knuckle protectors and have padding placed in the palm and other high-impact zones for maximum safety.

To make driving easier and minimize fatigue during those long rides, short cuff gloves may come with pre-curved fingers. Some even have a bridge between the fourth and the fifth finger to eliminate twisting. Although most gloves we stock have a heavy-duty construction to shield your hands against cuts and abrasions, they are guaranteed to provide optimal grip to ensure easy operation of the controls, including horn, clutch control levers, etc. The quality of stitching is also important when it comes to comfort and durability of motorcycle gloves. A lot of options we carry feature double or even triple stitching that is strategically placed to eliminate irritation and pressure points.

No matter how protective and tough your gloves are, they won’t keep your hands safe if they don’t fit properly. Oversized gloves will make it difficult to control levers and can even come off during an accident. Gloves that are too tight and small will reduce the blood circulation to your hands and make them fatigue very fast because of excess tension. A proper fitting glove should conform snugly to the hand but at the same time provide enough room for unrestricted movement. In our online store, you’ll find short cuff gloves in multiple sizes, so you’ll have no problems choosing the ones that fit you right. Plus, most gloves come with an easy-to-use hook and loop closure system that allows you to adjust the fit, making them feel secure on your hand.
