The truth is, your hands and wrists are some of the body parts that need the most protection. Think of the last time you fell, even if it wasn’t off a bike. Did you put your hands out to help catch yourself? Most of us instinctively put our hands out when we fall. That being said, your hands are very vulnerable to injury when riding a motorcycle. Even when riding slow, your hands can still get injured. Motorcycle gloves can also protect your hands from blistering when holding onto the handle bars for a long period of time. In addition to protecting your hands, gloves can also increase your control over your bike.
