Lightweight Touchscreen Riding Gloves

At just 140g per pair and ~9.5 inches in length, these full-finger gloves prioritise low mass without compromising protection. Materials: synthetic leather palm and finger tips, perforated mesh dorsum, segmented TPU knuckle guards. Touch functionality is embedded in thumb and index finger via woven conductive thread. Wrist closure uses industrial-grade hook-and-loop tape paired with a 25mm-wide elastic cuff. Weight reduction is achieved through selective material use—not thinning—so durability remains intact: mesh is 120g/m² high-tenacity polyester; synthetic leather is 0.9mm thick PU-coated fabric. Knuckle guards are injection-moulded TPU with flex grooves. Palm reinforcement includes micro-textured grain for added friction. Touch pads undergo 5,000-cycle abrasion testing to ensure longevity. The wrist strap features matte-finish nylon loop tape to prevent snagging on jacket zippers or helmet straps. Engineered for UK riders seeking agility and responsiveness in warm conditions—whether navigating narrow Cotswold lanes, commuting through Birmingham traffic, or tackling Scottish coastal routes—these gloves deliver measured performance across heat, grip, protection, and digital interaction.
