Frequently asked questions
What are gauntlets and what are they used for?▾
Gauntlets are a functional clothing accessory that protects arms, wrists or the transition between glove and jacket. They are mainly used for motorcycling, cycling, hiking and winter sports and offer protection from wind, cold, moisture and light mechanical impacts.
Which materials are best suited for gauntlets?▾
High-quality gauntlets are often made of leather, textile blends or functional materials such as neoprene, softshell and Gore-Tex. Leather is particularly robust and abrasion-resistant, while technical textiles are breathable, water-repellent and lighter. The choice of material depends on the area of use – for motorcycle sports, additional protectors and reinforcements are recommended.
How do I find the right size for my gauntlets?▾
The size depends on the circumference and length of the forearm as well as the intended use with or without gloves. If in doubt, it is worth checking the manufacturers' size charts – gauntlets should fit tightly enough not to slip, but allow enough freedom of movement.
Are gauntlets waterproof or water-repellent?▾
Many gauntlets are equipped with water-repellent finishes, and some models with Gore-Tex membrane or comparable technologies are even waterproof. For longer rides in rain or snow, completely waterproof variants are recommended, while a water-repellent impregnation is often sufficient for everyday use or light tours.
How do I properly care for and clean my gauntlets?▾
Leather gauntlets should be cleaned with a damp cloth and regularly treated with leather care products to keep them supple and resistant. Textile gauntlets can usually be washed by hand or on a gentle cycle. It is important to let gauntlets dry well after each use and not to expose them to direct heat.
Which gauntlets are suitable for motorcyclists?▾
For motorcycle sports and road use, gauntlets with protectors, abrasion-resistant leather and secure fastening are ideal. Brands such as Alpinestars, Dainese, Held and Richa offer models specially developed for motorcyclists that can be optimally combined with motorcycle gloves and jackets.
Can I also wear gauntlets in everyday life or when hiking?▾
Yes, lighter gauntlets made of softshell or fleece are excellent for outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking or everyday use. They keep arms and wrists warm, protect against wind and can be put on and taken off easily.
What is the difference between short and long gauntlets?▾
Short gauntlets mainly cover the wrist and lower forearm and serve as a supplement to gloves. Long gauntlets extend up to or beyond the elbow and offer more comprehensive protection against cold, moisture and wind – they are particularly common in motorcycle and winter sports.
