Advice & Guides Short leather gloves are great for towns, tours and warm riding days. Here are the five key contenders for £70 or less…

Customers are generally satisfied with the summer gloves for their comfort, fit, and value for money. Many mention the gloves' craftsmanship and leather quality positively, though some noted stiffness initially or minor fitting issues. The gloves appear true to size and compatible with various jackets. They provide CE and PPE certification, making them a reliable choice for safety. Overall, customers recommend these gloves for their blend of comfort, protection, and affordability.
Wanted a short glove as my gauntlet style dont always go with my riding gear. These fit well and I like the solid protection on the knuckles. These are my go to glove for the dry weather.
Very good glove for summer riding, keeping my hands cool and providing great feel for the handles. As you wear these in a bit, they contour to your hands perfectly and feel very light.
Probably more importantly, after having a spill at around 40mph (the dreaded target fixation mistake around a sharp bend), these gloves made sure there was zero damage to my hands and they survived with practically no damage at all.
Brilliant gloves.
There is not much to say about these as they are a perfect fit and very confortable. I can just recommend
Almost old fashioned simple gloves that are true to size. The quality of the stitching and leather is good for the price. Some of the stitching joints inside are a bit rough at the edges and hopefully that will become less of a problem the more I use them. Good value gloves that have enough quality to suggest they will last long if looked after properly
Nice glove and I think really good value. They fit well but, I am a large. They are not waterproof but ok in light rain. I did notice that they got a little stiff after riding in a light shower but no issue. I'd recommend them over gloves twice/three times the price
The gloves look great, matched my DXR jacket as well, the price and delivery very good as expected. The fingers are a little long for me, but that seems to be the case with most of my gloves. The only negative is the stitched seam at the base of the fingers, which is worse on the right glove and is uncomfortable at the moment, i hope it softens up in time.
I was a little sceptical as the whether the gloves would be of good quality due to the price. How wrong was I. They are so comfortable and as it states, waterproof. Well worth the money
These had potential - lovely brown leather, great styling, and decent protection for the price - but they just never softened up. My wife gave them a fair shot, wearing them on a dozen rides or so, but they stayed stubbornly stiff and never really got comfortable. She’s since moved on to a different pair that fit and flex better, so these only come out now when it’s too cold for her usual lighter gloves.
Not a bad glove, just not the right one for her - especially if you’re hoping they’ll break in with time. They may - but not quickly!
A good lightweight summer glove, bargain price made better with a further discount from Bennetts insurance
Fantastic pair of gloves. Good size and feel with brilliant protection that’s hopefully never needed. Would recommend to anyone looking for a pair of gloves that don’t break the bank and are as good as gloves 3 times the cost.
Exceptional service from SPORTSBIKESHOP as always.
No idea. Bought these to replace my spring/autumn gloves so haven't worn them in anger yet. Seem OK
Got these to replace my old summer gloves, easy to wear and a good fit on my hands. Fingers are about the right size and the liner doesn't stick when you take them off after 4 hours, fits well under jacket cuffs as well so no faffing about tucking stuff away. No waterproofing so you would have to treat them, use an over glove or a heavier waterproof glove that can take the sky juice attack.
Lovely subtle goatskin gloves, with good knuckle protection and large velcro securing tape. Had a couple of good rides so far, with no wrist function fatigue, very impressed with the quality for the price I paid. As always, SBS excellent service, second to none. Ordered a helmet which was wrong size, returned same day, refunded within 4 days...
hugs my hand beautifully and fingers are not too long which is an issue i get with most gloves. Perfect summer glove and very well priced compared to other brands. So good i bought a second pair
Lightweight very comfortable summer riding gloves and nice dark brown color.
I find DXR kit well made and great value. This is my 2nd pair of these gloves. The first are now 3 years old and brown, used 2/4 times a week, all year round. Still good. Only bought these as I fancied a colour change.
