Whether in motorsport or on the golf course, in archery or at the small bore shooting range: whenever precision, protection or a secure grip is required, athletes put on gloves. This is also the case in cycling. Racing bike gloves not only improve grip on the handlebars. They absorb shocks and prevent the hands from tiring too quickly on long rides. In the event of a fall, they also take over the protective function and, at best, prevent painful abrasions on the sensitive palms. You can easily leave fifty euros at the dealer for a top glove. However, as the hand protectors often wear out quickly with heavy use, such a purchase is usually not an investment for eternity. It is therefore tempting to reach for the manufacturer's cheaper models. But can they keep up with high-end gloves in terms of comfort and features? We put twelve gloves with a price limit of 30 euros to the test to find out.
