Not all riders like to wear gloves, but we recommend them to all riders, especially beginners. Gloves not only give you a better grip on your handlebars and brake levers, but they will also help you reduce hand and arm fatigue, letting you ride for longer. Mountain bike gloves also help keep you protected in falls and keep your digits warm. Look for gloves that fit the shape of your hand well, with no bunching of extra material, so you can access your brake levers, shifter, and dropper post uninhibited, then match the warmth to your climate and where you ride.
