Planet Bike Taurus Cycling Gloves

Yes, they are designed for comfort on longer rides. The 5mm foam padding effectively dampens road vibration, while the leather palm provides a secure, reliable grip on the handlebars.

These gloves excel in warm conditions. The back is constructed from a breathable cotton crochet mesh, which promotes airflow to keep your hands cool and dry.

The soft terry cloth surface on the thumb is designed as a convenient, gentle way to wipe sweat from your brow while you are riding.

While they feature Kevlar palm reinforcement for added durability, these are primarily designed for comfort and grip rather than impact protection. They do not provide the specialized armor found in mountain biking or downhill gloves.

Because the palms are made of genuine leather, it is best to hand wash them with mild soap and air dry them away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing, as this can cause the leather to stiffen or crack over time.

The gloves are designed with Lycra fourchettes between the fingers to maintain a snug, consistent fit. While natural materials like cotton have some give, these features help the gloves retain their shape through regular use.
