What the AI looks for in Women's Cycling Gloves
- Women's sizing
- Choose a narrower palm and shorter fingers than unisex gloves. Excess material bunches under the bar.
- Padding
- Choose light padding on the palm placed at the ulnar nerve area, not thick gel everywhere. Thick gel can increase pressure on the nerve and reduce feel on the bar.
- Touchscreen and wipe
- For full-finger gloves, choose a touchscreen tip and a terry wipe on the thumb. These are small details that you use on every ride.
Brands that matter
- Giro: Broad range.
- Pearl Izumi: Value.
- Fox Racing: Mountain bike.
- Castelli: Road.
What to avoid
- Oversized unisex gloves
