Finding the right glove can be crucial in creating a seamless connection to your bar and bike. No matter if you're searching for extra protection and support or want to keep it comfortable & functional. It is worth taking a deeper look into our different lines to make sure your choice suits your riding style.

WHY SHOULD I WEAR MOUNTAINBIKE GLOVES?

While some riders forgo wearing mountainbike gloves, they come with some practical features to improve your riding experience. First of all, they increase grip on the bars and help to avoid blisters. Some models even come with extra padding to prevent fatigue on long tours and many hours on the bike. Additionally to the full coverage, some models feature protective elements on the most exposed fingers to guard against branches and dirt.

HOW SHOULD MOUNTAINBIKE GLOVES FIT?

Mountainbike gloves should have a snug fit without feeling restrictive in any areas. That is the best way to avoid irritating folds that may cause blisters. Plus, you will get the best grip experience possible. Also, make sure to try your gloves out in a riding position with hands around the bar and forefingers on the breaks. If you feel any tightness or restriction choose one size larger.

HOW DO I FIND THE RIGHT MTB GLOVE SIZE?

To find the right size of ION mountainbike gloves, measure the circumference on your knuckles. Thanks to elastics or adjustable velcros, the cuff will adapt automatically to your wrist size (depending on the model).
