We took all the knowledge we gained perfecting our road gloves, field testing for comfort, fit, protection and the functionality of features like strategically placed padding and tech compatibility, then adapted it to the specific needs of the female mountain biker. We’re very pleased to introduce you to the ultimate mountain mavens and the result of years of off-road research, the new Terry Vista Gloves.
What sets the Vista Glove aside from the standard MTB-style gloves is its fit. Of course, it needed to be women-specific, so we worked with a glove designer who’s an expert to ensure the materials and padding hit in all the right places. While it is loaded with technical fabrics and features, you won’t find any hard edges, bunching or chafing.
An extended cuff adds protection and relieves pressure against wrists while the TPR Velcro tap closure delivers a secure fit.
The 3D articulated Ax Suede palms provide a confident bar grip and feature perforations for superior breathability and 3mm of closed cell foam padding in key comfort zones. To help you grab life by the handlebars even more securely, we’ve added printed silicone to the palm.
The back of the hand is a blend of beauty and beast, with a custom screen print and a nylon corded construction appropriate for navigating the toughest riding conditions and protecting against wayward branches.
You’ll find the lycra/nylon fingers with a touchscreen-compatible index tip to be very dexterous while the embossed neoprene knuckle panel helps prevent carnage in the case of a crash. Dirty your glasses or get grime on your face? Don’t sweat it, just wipe it away with the terry cloth thumbs.
And voilà, there you have it, the new queen of the mountain, the Terry Vista Gloves.
More Gloves That Have The Upperhand On Performance, Fit & Comfort
Soleil Gloves: Full Finger & Short Finger
Bring on the sun! We had steep goals when developing our Soleil Glove program: deliver the best fit against the handlebars without compromising on padding comfort and provide the highest level of sun protection using the lightest weight fabric possible. Not to brag, but we think we hit our marks head-on. They are comfortably wearable even on 90+ degree days, with high breathability and UPF 50+ protection, an effective, and articulated approach to fit and strategically placed padding to dampen vibrations. Available in your choice of vibrant colorway and both short and full finger styles for complete sun protection.
Touring Gel Bike Gloves
We developed this all-day glove with the best of everything, starting with the fit. The Touring Gel Glove molds to the hand by virtue of the stretch microfiber on back of hand, wrapping sidehand panel and zonal gel palm pad placement. The wrist fit is key as it comes in contact with many nerves that require a gentle touch, so we’ve loaded it up with a thin and highly adjustable Velcro closure system. Beyond the fit, we’ve packed these beauties up with palm construction details to give you maximum comfort and dexterity. Back in stock after huge demand, get your hands on a pair before they ride out with everyone else.
T-Gloves LTD
Diffuse road shock and let your on-bike personality shine in our award-winning T-Gloves. Available in 14 new custom prints for Spring, they’re ergonomically designed to fit a woman’s hand and reduce pressure along the ulnar nerve. They’re the best deal riding in women’s cycling gloves and our #1 sellers for a reason. Also available in solid colorways, here.
Endurance Bike Gloves
We were on the lookout for a maximally-padded glove that could provide our customers who have hand and wrist issues with a higher level of shock absorption when the Endurance Bike Gloves crossed our path. They were designed by Castelli for long-distance riders, but are great for anyone who could benefit from some extra cushioning. They feature a perfectly padded gel palm, a Poron insert at the median nerve and premium materials throughout.
Tessa II Gel Glove
We added Giro’s all-new Tessa II Gel Glove to our women-specific recommendation list this season because it manages to combine the goodness of Giro fit and features at an excellent value. Equipped with 3mm of shock-absorbing gel padding, it provides the comfort and breathability you’ll need to tackle the bumpiest roads and grittiest of gravel trails this Spring and Summer.
Supernatural Road Bike Gloves
Another Giro innovation, the Supernatural Road Bike Gloves introduce a seamless dimension of grip, comfort and control in a one-piece, stretchable, multi-density foam that’s molded to fit a woman’s hand. It’s like a catsuit for your hands but way more comfortable. This anatomical shaping follows the contours of the hand like a second skin and allows for a smooth channel between padded areas to improve blood flow and reduce pressure points.
Strada Massa Super Gel Bike Gloves
A perennial best seller that eliminates the bulky feel of other plush gloves, the Strada Massa Supergel Gloves delivers exceptional cushioning by combining gel and rebound foam padding. We give these gloves two thumbs-up for their overall comfort and only wish Giro would make them in more colors!
Gore C5 GTX Thermo Bike Gloves
Still trying to nip winter in the bud? These are our go-tos for the very worst cold and wet weather conditions. Waterproof, windproof and super breathable, aside from begging Spring weather to get here faster, what more could you ask for?
