As well as short-fingered cycling gloves, there's also a wide range of long-fingered gloves available for cyclists. These don't just offer better protection against the cold; mountain bikers also wear long-finger glovers on warmer days, because they provide better grip on the handlebars and protection against hanging branches. Long-fingered gloves are available as airy, thin summer gloves, where protection is the main focus, as transition gloves for autumn and spring days and as insulated winter models to withstand icy temperatures on the bike.
