Gauntlet Gloves

About

Gauntlet gloves are the long-cuff standard for full wrist coverage on the road. This range covers leather and textile builds from Merlin, Macna, Motodry and Five, including waterproof, winter, heated and race options. The extended cuff seals over your jacket sleeve to keep wind, water and debris out at speed. How to choose a gauntlet glove The gauntlet cuff is what separates these from short gloves. The longer 80 to 120mm cuff overlaps your jacket sleeve, sealing the wrist gap that short cuffs leave open. That matters in two ways: abrasion protection across the whole wrist joint, and weather sealing against wind chill and rain. Match the material to your riding Leather gauntlets deliver the highest abrasion resistance and suit warmer, drier conditions, with full-grain hides rated to EN 17092 AAA, AA or A depending on construction. Textile and laminate builds add waterproof membranes for year-round use. D3O armour at the knuckle absorbs impact at low profile, with CE Level 1 covering most road use and CE Level 2 offering the higher 7kN impact threshold.

Size by measuring your palm circumference in mm, then confirm finger length so the armour sits over the knuckle, not behind it. A gauntlet should close fully over the sleeve with a 100% sealed wrist strap. Sizing typically runs XS through 3XL.
