Along with a helmet, jersey and cycling shorts, gloves are one of the basic items of clothing for cycling. Cycling gloves protect the skin in the event of a fall, as the material used protects the palms from large-scale abrasions. To ensure that you are always prepared for the different temperatures in both spring and autumn, arm warmers and leg warmers are recommended as extensions of your jersey; they can be stored in jersey pockets or saddle bags to save space.
