Force glove

Start with your riding needs and climate. In this glove line you’ll find options like Aero-Flo Gloves that use a Clarino chassis with genuine goat leather overlays for durability, plus neoprene and air mesh on the back of the hand for airflow. Look for ventilation along the fingers, and a secure hook-and-loop closure to keep the glove in place while riding. If you use a touchscreen device on the go, choose models offering touchscreen-compatible finger tips. Prioritize protection where you grip hardest, such as reinforced palm areas.

Protective performance varies by how materials and padding are arranged. For example, some designs reinforce the palm with extra goat leather and impact padding, while others concentrate on flexibility with four-way stretch spandex on key fingers and accordion panels across the digits. Look for finger protectors (like TPR) and perforations that balance airflow with defense. A glove should secure well at the wrist and allow precise control, so a reliable closure and well-placed padding are essential.

For hot weather, choose gloves with ample ventilation and air mesh that allows heat to escape, such as models with mesh across the fingers and back of the hand. In cooler conditions, prioritize thicker palm padding and reinforced leather overlays to maintain grip and warmth. Breathable designs reduce hand fatigue in summer, while heavier protection helps retain warmth without compromising dexterity. Always consider the climate you ride in most.

Keep gloves clean by gently wiping away sweat and dirt with a soft damp cloth, then air-dry away from direct heat or sunlight. If the leather overlays feel stiff over time, apply a suitable leather conditioner to maintain suppleness, especially on genuine goat leather areas. Store them in a cool, dry place and avoid exposing them to prolonged moisture. Regular care helps preserve grip, fit, and protection for longer use.

Touchscreen compatibility is available on select models, making it convenient to operate devices without removing the gloves. For example, certain Aero-Flo style gloves include a touchscreen-friendly index finger and thumb, allowing you to answer calls or use navigation while riding. If this feature matters, verify the product description or ask the seller to confirm compatibility with your devices.

A proper fit should feel snug but not restrict finger movement, with the seams aligned to your hand. Look for stretch panels and Lycra fourchettes that provide flexibility across the back of the hand and fingers, along with a secure closure that keeps the glove steady during grip. When trying on, ensure you can open your hand fully and still feel protection across the palm without excess bunching near the fingers. A well-fitting glove improves control and comfort.
