Which riding gloves are suitable for the whole year?
A rider's hands need protection all year round. All-season riding gloves are a good compromise between riding gloves for summer only and thickly lined riding gloves for winter. For riding gloves to be suitable for the whole year, they should be particularly breathable. This is because the wicking away of moisture to the outside means that the hands stay pleasantly cool in summer and do not sweat, while in winter they stay dry and therefore cosy and warm.
Riding gloves for the whole year are made of a light, partly stretchy material, such as polyester. Riders who do not ride every day and therefore do not put their gloves under much strain can also opt for riding gloves made of cotton. The palm can be made of artificial leather, silicone or polyurethane for the necessary grip.
For those who frequently ride outdoors, water- and wind-repellent, breathable outdoor riding gloves are ideal. These are also suitable for everyday stable work. All-season riding gloves are less suitable for particularly cold days. In this case, you should opt for warm winter riding gloves.
