Just like helmet and goggles, the right gloves are essential equipment on the bike. Grip, tactility & insulation - bike gloves have to do a lot. Our experts Paul, David & Emanuel from the Tirol KTM Cycling Team as well as Renè & Gabriel tell you what really matters when buying gloves:
Paul Buschek, David Paumann & Emanuel Zangerle from the TIROL KTM CYCLING TEAM: "Especially for longer tours, a glove with high quality and sufficient inner padding is particularly important. This provides more comfort and a good grip on the handlebars. The thin, comfortable outer fabric on the Cycling Team Glove is ideal in hot temperatures! We are particularly convinced by the high quality, perfect fit, thoughtful details and comfortable feel of this Zanier model."
Renè Unterwurzacher: "For me, a good grip on the handlebars is extremely important. Especially if you have sweaty hands, the right glove gives you the necessary grip on the handlebars and prevents you from slipping off so easily. The glove must be particularly robust to protect against coarser abrasions in the event of a fall or when branches are standing in. High quality prevents the need to change gloves frequently. Very practical with the Zanier model Shredder: thanks to the touch function, the smartphone can be operated with the gloves. I also really like the clean design of this model."
Gabriel Wibmer: "For professional athletes or professional mountain bikers, it is important that the performance fits. Once you sweat or get nervous before a race, you put the glove on and you really stick to the handlebars. You don't have to worry about slipping off. That's very important to me in any case. What is mega cool for me: The touch function. Who doesn’t know it? You're biking and have a great location, take out your phone and want to take a picture. Then it's just great that you can operate the phone with the glove. The fit of the Shredder model is optimal. In addition, the glove is very robust. I've had countless falls with it and the glove still looks like new."
