What do you wear short or long gloves?

[Clarkie]

As the title says, what do you wear? Would you feel less safe in short gloves?

[c_dug]

Mine finish about two inches above the wrist joint, I wouldn't want any shorter than that.

Long gloves in winter. Short gloves in summer (when it's warm and dry).

Feel more safe using ribbed condoms.

Long on road, short off road.

[DrDonnyBrago]

Long gloves.

Not for any particular reason.

I used to wear long gloves, they saved my hands on a couple of occasions, but recently I've been having bad wrist problems which are made worse by pressure on my forearms so I've been wearing short gloves. They give me better control over the bike and much less wrist pain so I don't have much of a choice really. I got some decent short Triumph gloves for about £20 from the Triumph outlet store.

Depends on the weather.

Got some shorter mesh & leather & kevlar, plastic knuckled ones for summer. Wear them if I go out and about, but if I go for a ride involving say NSL roads then I've got some Astars GP Pro, which have a hard plastic gauntlet that covers the wrist and lower forearm. Not restrictive for movement though.

In winter I've got some longer thicker leather, plastic knuckled ones.


Once rode round the corner back from the MOT with no gloves in summer (literally a few hundred metres) and I didn't like the feeling... hands felt really exposed. Even on my bicycle I wear gloves, like the reassurance that my hands are somewhat protected.

[TheSmiler]

Short thin gloves all year around, to be honest I prefer extremely thin gloves as it gives you more feel on the grips.

Don't really own any long gloves, I've tried gauntlets and they just seem weird and uncomfortable.

I have a pair of long gloves for riding when it's colder and a pair of shorter gloves when the weathers warm.I feel safe in the short ones.Some of the new short gloves have great protection..

I have both. Bought short by mistake before i had ridden a bike. Bought long when my hands went blue from being wet and cold

Am looking forward to wearing the short ones again some time soon.

Longer ones most of the time. They are vented so better for summer really. Have a short unvented leather pair for the winter.

I have a short pair of 'proper' motorcycle gloves.. But I never use them as I prefer to have as much feel as possible on the throttle, clutch ect.

Which is why I have mx gloves.

it's nice to get the clumpy ones off when the temperature allows...easier to use the switches and the helmet vents. I still like them to cover my wrists, they're a fairly vulnerable part when exposed. I went through a car windscreen, (from the outside), on a bike once and the only injury was a small cut where my sleeve had ridden up.

I've got a pair of IXS Goretex touring jobbies. They are neither long or short and seem to suit me all year round.

[sabian92]

Long but that's only because it's the pair I liked the look of in J&S I wouldn't be averse to short gloves in summer though.

[DJS]

Long in winter and short when it's warmer.
