When most people think of 'cycling gloves', it's short-fingered gloves that come to mind. With a well-padded palm, these gloves offer comfort and a secure grip even with sweaty hands. The light, often-elastic upper material is breathable and airy - perfect for hot weather. The half fingers not only give you complete freedom of movement for the brake levers but also make it easy to operate the screen on your phone or bike computer. When buying them, it's important to pay attention to size and design. Some models also score points with clever details: for example, loops on the short fingers make it easier to remove the gloves. Some terry cloth material on the thumb also proves to be a welcome feature in practice to wipe the sweat from your forehead.
