Women's motorcycle gloves – why the cut matters
Women's hands are generally narrower and have shorter fingers. In men's gloves, this leaves a gap at the front, causes the palm to bunch up, and means the knuckle protection doesn't sit where it should. Women's models are designed to fit these proportions – with the same level of protection as men's versions.

Frequently asked questions
Which size should I choose?
Women's sizes run smaller than men's sizes. Measure your hand circumference below the knuckles and compare it with the manufacturer's size chart. For very small hands, a youth model may also fit – see Children & Youth Gloves.
Do women's gloves offer less protection?
No. Women's models generally have the same level of protection as comparable men's gloves – the cut is the main difference. Details are available in the respective product description. You can also find all models for road, off-road and bike riding under Motorcycle Gloves, Motocross Gloves and MTB Gloves.
