Fingerless gloves are popular for their dexterity and protection while allowing fingertips to be exposed. They are used in various sports, fashion, and for practical purposes such as gardening and winter warmth. Leather fingerless gloves are popular for motorcycling, while padded gloves are used for weightlifting and cycling. They are also available in knitted styles for winter warmth and are a fashion statement for some. They can be found in various outlets, from home improvement centers to department stores.
Fingerless gloves resemble standard gloves, except that the fingers are only quarter to half in length, allowing the fingertips to be exposed. This retains dexterity while protecting the hands. Fingerless gloves are popular in various sports, in certain fashion circles, and simply to keep you warm while doing work that requires a good grip or the ability to feel with your fingertips.
Fingerless gloves used in motorcycling are usually made of leather and padded on the palms, while the backs may be made of mesh with mesh. Riding gloves of this type allow for a solid grip on the hand controls while absorbing some of the vibration from the road, protecting the palms and making the ride more comfortable. Backs are usually made with Velcro to make it easy to put on and take off.
Similar styles of fingerless gloves are used for lifting weights. Again, the padded palms protect hands from chafing or pinching while lifting or rolling weights and barbells.
Many cyclists also find fingerless gloves a welcome addition to their cycling uniform. Bike gloves come in many styles and varieties made from different materials ranging from synthetic elastic and leather to polyester mesh and foam. Often the palms are packed in gel for comfort. Fingerless gloves are also worn by skateboarders and inline skaters for the added protection they provide.
In the winter months, knitted fingerless mittens or fingerless mittens can be perfect for wearing around the house, particularly for those with poor hand circulation. These gloves will keep your hands toasty while allowing you to do everything from typing to reading a book to doing chores. If you want to save on heating bills, mitts or fingerless gloves can make a house that’s a degree or two cooler feel as cozy as a banged-up thermostat.
Leather fingerless gloves are also great for working in the garden. Get a better grip on rocks, bricks, and wood while protecting your hands. You can also trim hedges or prune thorny bushes more easily by wearing fingerless gloves, while maintaining most of the protection that standard garden gloves provide.
In addition to the many practical uses, fingerless gloves are also worn as a fashion statement. Fingerless gloves are sometimes worn by fans of gothic, rock, and to a lesser extent hip hop or rap for their tough, rebellious look. Punk rocker Billy Idol is probably best known for making fingerless gloves a fashion statement in the 1980s, when he performed hard-hitting punk anthems like White Wedding and Rebel Yell in classic black leather fingerless gloves.
Fingerless gloves are available at a variety of outlets, from home improvement centers to motorcycle chops, bike shops, sporting goods stores, and leather shops. Knitted fingerless gloves are seasonally available at many department stores.
