The Ultimate Guide to Riding Gloves: Motocross, Street, MTB & Snowmobile

When it comes to powersports and cycling, the right riding gloves aren’t optional — they are essential. Whether you're carving dirt trails on a mountain bike, ripping a berm at the motocross track, cruising the highway on a street bike, or tackling freezing terrain on your snowmobile, gloves are a critical part of your gear setup.

At Tousley Motorsports, we offer gloves for every riding style and season, stocked with top brands trusted by riders.


Why Riding Gloves Matter

Every rider knows the first instinct in a fall is to put your hands out. The right gloves provide:

  • Protection from abrasion and impact

  • Better grip and control on bars

  • Comfort during long rides

  • Temperature and weather protection

  • Reduced vibration fatigue

Different riding styles demand different glove features — here’s how to choose the right type.


Motocross & Off-Road Riding Gloves

Motocross and off-road gloves prioritize bar feel, flexibility, and ventilation. Perfect for dirt bike and ATV riders who need maximum control in fast-moving environments.

Key features:

  • Lightweight construction

  • Breathable mesh fabrics

  • Reinforced palm and knuckle protection

  • Silicone grip zones for lever control

These are sometimes called dirt bike gloves, motocross gloves, or off-road riding gloves — and we carry all top brands.


Street Motorcycle Riding Gloves

Street riders need protection at higher speeds and in variable weather conditions. These gloves focus on safety, durability, and comfort.

Popular features include:

  • Leather or textile construction

  • Armored knuckles and palm sliders

  • Touchscreen compatibility

  • Waterproof and windproof options

  • Gauntlet and short-cuff styles

Whether you ride sport, cruiser, or touring, we have gloves built for the road.


Mountain Bike (MTB) Riding Gloves

Mountain biking gloves give riders precision, grip, and lightweight protection for trail riding, downhill, and enduro.

Common MTB glove features:

  • Minimalist fit for direct bar feel

  • Grippy palm materials

  • Breathable fabrics to prevent sweat buildup

  • Flexible protection paneling

We stock MTB gloves for every discipline — trail, downhill, and cross-country riders welcome.


Snowmobile Riding Gloves

Snowmobilers face a totally different challenge: cold, moisture, and wind. Snow gloves must stay warm and durable while preserving mobility.

Key snowmobile glove features:

  • Waterproof outer shells

  • Thermal insulation

  • Reinforced palms

  • Wind-blocking construction

  • Wrist cinches and gauntlet cuffs

Whether you're trail riding or backcountry exploring, we’ve got trusted snow glove options.
