Build

Flexible knuckle guards protect the back of the hand, palm and finger sliders cover the contact points, and a reinforced panel sits between thumb and index finger. The fingers are pre-curved for the grips and a Velcro strap closes the wrist.

Choosing a size

Only standard sizes exist for gloves, so there is no custom option. Measure around your knuckles, leaving out the thumb, and compare with the size chart. If two sizes look possible, pick the one that lets the sliders sit over your finger joints rather than the one that looks better on paper.

Check the wrist opening against the sleeve of your jacket; the Vinales leather jackets are the natural partner for these pairs. If you ride mostly in cold weather, a thin race glove will let more wind through than a winter glove, so think about the temperatures you usually ride in before choosing.
