As risk-compensation factors go, they’re minor violators, and when you’re not crashing, you can wipe your face-sweat off with them, or scratch a face-itch. Even summer gloves like these goat ones add noticeable warmth on barely chilly rides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll riders wear warm gloves in cold weather, but warm weather is another ball of wax, the kind of ball of wax where some people don't want the extra layer of poof and cush between hands and handlebar. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese are the only bike gloves we're aware of that are unpadded, and for most riders most of the time, they’re better for it. Goat leather is thin and tough, so your hands are good in a crash, but you still get a good hand-lock on the bars, a good tactile connection with the bike that you don’t get with padded gloves. It may be a personal preference thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e If you don’t wear gloves, try these. They’re too thin to hate. They wash well, too. Warm, in the machine, air dry, then put them on and they’ll fit again. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e---------------------SIZING--------------------\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifferent from our padded cow gloves.

Looseness isn't much of one, if one at all, in bike gloves—and a little loose makes them easier to take off. These will stretch.
