Gloves are essential items among MTB equipment, all the more when talking about trail, enduro of DH riding, where hands are put to the test. Their main role is to protect your hands on the bars, providing grip on the brakes and also to prevent injuries in case of a fall. For this type of riding, most MTB gloves feature a synthetic leather palm, some models have silicone prints to improve grip on the levers. MTB gloves should be ventilated. Indeed, you can quickly sweat from the hands when riding, making it critical to have suitable ventilation.
