Cycling gloves for XC mountain biking

Thin but effective padding reduces vibrations from roots and stones, while non-slip details on the inside of the fingers ensure grip when your hands are sweaty or slightly wet.

For the cold season, lined winter gloves complete the range; despite the insulation, they must retain enough finger sensitivity for precise braking and shifting on technical, often slippery terrain.

Tip: On technical terrain with lots of roots and stones, choose a slightly grippier glove than is usual in road cycling, as extra control over the handlebars matters more here than minimal weight.
