What's the difference between short and long cycling gloves?
Short cycling gloves are designed to cover only the palm of the hand, making them ideal for summer outings when heat is a factor. Some cyclists prefer short gloves for how they allow you to grip and feel the handlebars. Long cycling gloves, also called full-finger gloves, cover not only the palm but also all the fingers. They offer better protection, including against the cold, making them ideal for mountain biking and winter or cool-weather outings.
