Motorcycle Gloves in Richmond Virginia

Come in and find the right pair for your riding — no appointment needed.
Motorcycle gloves are the piece of riding gear that most riders underestimate until they need them. In a slide, your hands reach the road before almost anything else. On a long highway ride, vibration through the bars builds up over hours and takes a toll on your hands without a proper glove absorbing it. The right pair of motorcycle gloves makes a real difference in both protection and riding comfort, and the only way to find the right pair is to try them on.
Leather Motorcycle Gloves in Richmond Virginia
Leather motorcycle gloves provide the best combination of grip feel, abrasion resistance, and wind protection for highway riding. Quality leather conforms to the shape of your hand over time, develops a grip that fits your specific palm and finger proportions, and protects the knuckles, palm heel, and wrist in a slide better than synthetic alternatives at comparable price points. Leather also handles wind at highway speed more effectively than most textile alternatives, which matters on longer rides through Virginia’s open roads.
Leather motorcycle gloves in our Richmond store come in full-gauntlet styles for highway and touring riders, shorter-cuff wrist-length styles for city and warm-weather riding, and fingerless designs for riders who prefer more direct contact with the controls. We carry men’s and women’s sizes across all styles, and each is available to try on in-store at 5629 S Laburnum Avenue in Henrico.
Getting the right size in a leather motorcycle glove is important. A glove that is too large will have excess material that bunches at the palm and reduces grip feel. A glove that is too tight restricts blood flow and causes fatigue on long rides. Our staff will help you find the right size for your hand in each style you are considering. Try on multiple sizes before deciding.
Motorcycle Glove Styles We Carry in Richmond
Full-Gauntlet Motorcycle Gloves
Full-gauntlet motorcycle gloves extend over the wrist and lower forearm, sealing over the end of your jacket sleeve to eliminate the gap that lets cold air and rain in at speed. These are the right choice for highway riding, touring, and any riding in cooler Virginia weather. The gauntlet provides additional protection to the wrist and lower arm in a slide and keeps wind and rain out at highway speed.
We carry full-gauntlet motorcycle gloves in leather builds for traditional riders and mixed-material builds that combine leather palm protection with textile or mesh backs for ventilation in warmer months. Both styles are in-store at our Richmond location and available to try on. The gauntlet closure style varies between styles — some use a velcro wrist strap, others use a snap or buckle closure — and trying them on is the best way to find the one that works for your wrist and your jacket sleeve.
Fingerless Motorcycle Gloves
Fingerless motorcycle gloves protect the palm, back of the hand, and knuckles while leaving the fingertips free. Popular with riders who commute, do a lot of city riding, or ride through Richmond’s warmer months when a full glove becomes uncomfortable. The open fingertip design allows easier use of touchscreens, fuel caps, and other tasks that come up when you stop — without removing the glove entirely.
We carry fingerless styles in leather and perforated leather builds in-store at our Henrico location. Leather fingerless gloves provide better palm protection and last longer than synthetic alternatives. Perforated leather builds add ventilation for summer riding while maintaining the grip and protection of full leather. Try both in-store and grip test before deciding.
Cold-Weather and Winter Motorcycle Gloves
Virginia winters require a motorcycle glove that handles cold temperatures and wet conditions without sacrificing grip feel or throttle and brake control. Cold, stiff fingers lose sensitivity quickly, and gloves that are too thick or too insulated reduce the feel through the controls on long winter rides. The right winter motorcycle glove balances warmth and tactile feel, and finding that balance for your specific hand requires trying them on.
We carry insulated and lined motorcycle gloves for cold-weather riding in Richmond at our Henrico store. Thinsulate-lined leather styles provide good warmth without adding significant bulk to the glove. Waterproof-membrane builds keep hands dry in wet winter conditions. Extended cuff styles overlap the jacket sleeve and eliminate the wrist gap in cold weather. Stop by and try on the cold-weather glove range in-store before the cold season arrives.
How to Get the Right Fit in Motorcycle Gloves
The fit of a motorcycle glove is determined by your hand width and finger length. A properly fitting glove should sit snugly across the knuckles without pulling when you close your fist. The palm should lie flat without bunching material when you grip the bar. The fingertips should reach the ends of the finger pockets without excess material past your fingertip or pulling at the seam.
Wrist closure is the other key fit point. The closure should be snug enough to keep the glove from shifting on the bar but not so tight it cuts circulation over a long ride. Gauntlet closures should seal over your jacket sleeve without creating a gap that lets wind in at speed. Try different closure styles in-store to find the one that fits your wrist and your jacket combination.
Glove sizing varies between brands and styles. What fits as a Medium in one brand may fit as a Large in another. Always try on the actual pair you are buying rather than ordering based on a size chart. Our staff will help you check the fit across all the key points and make sure the gloves you buy are the ones that actually work for your riding.
