The guide to know which gloves you should use on your outings

La guía para saber qué guantes debes usar en tus salidas

Many cyclists wonder whether or not to wear gloves; for us, it's a clear yes! Gloves protect your hands from the elements, from that winter cold or from that unexpected fall that none of us want.

At Gobik we have developed specific gloves for every situation and discipline:

  • For mid-season, with the perfect thickness to avoid an overly warm interior and with protective membranes for those occasional spring and autumn showers.
  • For winter, with high thermal protection, against wind and rain, and to maintain the mobility and grip of your hands even at zero degrees.
  • For summer, models with extraordinary grip, highly breathable fabrics, and great comfort, to minimize numbness and discomfort during long summer rides.

Mid-season

The gloves that will allow you to enjoy autumn and spring on your bike. They make a difference at the start or end of the day, and as the sun comes out, if you no longer need them, you can comfortably store them in your jersey pockets.

FINDER

They are developed to act like a second skin, with warm, breathable fabric that is resistant to light rain, without compromising hand mobility thanks to their excellent silicone grip.
