What the AI looks for in Girls' Cycling Gloves
- Sizing
- Measure palm circumference and middle-finger length against the brand's youth chart, and avoid more than a small amount of empty fingertip. Loose fingertips catch on brake levers and reduce control.
- Palm thickness
- Choose a thin, unpadded or lightly padded palm for small hands. Thick padding makes small grips feel huge and tires out weaker hands.
- Full or half finger
- Choose full-finger gloves for mountain biking and BMX, and fingerless for road riding in warm weather. Fingers hit the ground first in off-road falls.
- Closure
- Slip-on or a single hook-and-loop tab works better than complex closures for young riders. Kids need to put gloves on without help.
Brands that matter
- Fox Racing: Wide range of youth mountain bike and motocross gloves.
- Troy Lee Designs: Youth gloves from light trail to gravity-oriented styles.
What to avoid
- Winter ski gloves for riding
- Buying gloves big for her to grow into
