The Best Women’s Short-Cuff Motorcycle Gloves

The synthetic suede palm provides an excellent feel on the controls. Open-weave perforated mesh panels on the fingers and backhand flow as much air as possible, even when sitting still. Elasticated breathable fabric runs the perimeter of each finger for a flexible fit and additional airflow between the fingers, and a neoprene cuff prevents discomfort where the glove meets the wrist.

Protection and safety are covered thanks to polyurethane inserts over the knuckles and by soft inserts on the thumb and little finger. Other features such as adjustable wrists, pre-curved fingers and mesh inserts complete the package.

The latest version uses a new chassis with a redesigned cuff closure, padded fingers and strategically placed stretch material. The V2 glove combines perforated leather and heavy duty mesh to create a glove that breathes well during hot weather while still providing basic motorcycle protection.

all the innovative features of its full-length sport touring brethren in a short-cuff package, the Dainese Tempest Short Gloves are as suited to ease the strife of the urban commuter as they are to deliver you completely from the turbulence of the commute.

The V2 installment of the Stella SMX-2 AIr Carbon is infused with more TPRs featuring better venting and TPR reinforcements at the wrist closure. The carbon knuckle has been slimmed down and molded for better ergonomics, and is aesthetically less prominent so as not to dominate the style of the glove.
