Save Your Skin

You could ride without wearing gloves, open up several blisters on both hands, and take the fun out of riding for the following two weeks. Or you could get yourself a pair of the Hestra Men's Bike Guard Long Gloves. These full-finger riding gloves give you the coverage to need to take the sting out of the occasional close brush with a wayward tree branch on the trail while still offering enough dexterity to give you a solid grip on your handlebars. Touch-screen compatible fingertips let you stay connected when you're far from home, and the breathable mesh backing keeps you from getting sweaty palms when the trail takes an intense turn.
