Best women's motorcycle gloves

For a short glove, we've gone to the Stella range by Alpinestars. We love the style, colour and fit. The short cuff and the grip zone on the palm and thumb make for improved riding comfort. The SMX-1 Air v2s are made from perforated leather and air-mesh (they're super airy) and are CE-certified for road riding.

Another addition to our collection for summer are these Elektra Lady D3Os by Furygan. They're CE-certified D3O gloves with perforated leather for breathability. They fit really well (we recommend going a size up for that added comfort) and have a good secure fastening on the wrist with an elegant style. Made from goat leather, the Elektra allows flexibility while riding with the peace of mind of good resistance to abrasion.

The Sand 4 by Rev'It is designed for warmer climes, with optimal grip, ventilation and comfort at the forefront of its construction. The TPR ventilated knuckles and finger protector inserts offer protection and airflow. They have a large hook and loop fastening and reflective finger details.

Dainese's Nebula gloves are waterproof, made with Gore-Tex membrane and Primaloft lining making these the perfect touring companion. They have a goatskin palm and Ergo-Techno rigid protectors on the knuckles, without compromising on the freedom of movement whilst riding. Designed for extreme weather conditions from rain to cold, these gloves will give you the warmth and comfort you desire.

For a more retro look, Spada's Freeride Breeze gloves are pretty spot on when it comes to style and protection. Made from perforated leather, they fit well and are warm and comfortable. Plus, with such a great price tag, these are more than pleasing to the eye.

Ideal for winter, the Ixon ladies Pro Russel gloves have a waterproof membrane and thermal lining. They're great gloves for commuters looking for warmth, waterproofness, flexibility and comfort. For winter we really love that the Pro Russel's have an elasticated wrist and tightening strap to keep them tight under jackets.

For a sportier look, why not try these RST Blade gloves. With carbon-fibre knuckle armour and a cowhide construction, they have great protection, without feeling bulky. Good for road or track riding, the double wrist and cuff fastening give that added secure feel.

Hailed for their great fit, Held's Stroke textile glove is waterproof with a goatskin palm and hardened knuckle protection. They look stylish and are made from stretch fabric construction for added comfort.
