SPORTFUL PADDED Short Gloves Black

The Sportful Padded Gloves are essential short gloves (mitts) for cyclists looking for reliable palm protection without sacrificing lightweight design. Ideal for long road rides, gravel routes, or bike touring, they’re designed to shield your hands from road imperfections and repetitive impacts from the handlebars.

The standout feature of this model is its ergonomic padding insert, strategically placed on the palm. It helps distribute pressure and reduce numbness caused by bike vibrations. On the back, a lightweight, stretchy fabric ensures excellent breathability to keep your hands cool and dry, even when temperatures soar in the middle of summer.

Is the padding very thick or subtle? Sportful has opted for a well-balanced medium-thickness padding. It’s dense enough to effectively absorb shocks and prevent carpal tunnel pain during rides lasting several hours, yet thin enough to maintain excellent handling feel and a firm grip on the brake levers.

Do these gloves provide protection in the event of a fall? Yes, that’s one of their main functions. In addition to providing comfort while riding, the durable fabric on the palm acts as a thermal and mechanical shield in the event of a slide on asphalt or gravel, protecting the skin on your hands from abrasions.
