What is the difference between BMW summer motorcycle gloves and all-season motorcycle gloves?

The main difference between BMW summer motorcycle gloves and all-season motorcycle gloves lies in their design and suitability for different weather conditions. Summer motorcycle gloves are specifically designed to offer excellent ventilation and breathability to keep your hands cool on hot summer days. They often use lightweight, perforated, or mesh materials, such as perforated goatskin leather, to ensure good airflow while still providing sufficient protection.

In contrast, all-season motorcycle gloves are designed to be versatile and usable in different weather conditions, including cooler temperatures or light rain. They offer better thermal insulation, maximum wind protection, and sometimes water resistance thanks to materials like Gore-Tex. These gloves are often thicker and less ventilated than summer gloves to ensure comfort and safety throughout the year. So, choosing between BMW summer and all-season motorcycle gloves will depend on your needs in terms of thermal comfort, protection, and seasonal use.

Aravis Air: breathable BMW Motorrad summer motorcycle gloves

Made from perforated goatskin leather, the Aravis Air gloves are lightweight and offer welcome airflow during hot summer days. Unlike some leathers, goatskin is supple and allows for smooth, comfortable movement. The gloves feature a neoprene cuff that adjusts at the wrist with a Velcro strap. To ensure optimal hand protection, an additional leather lining is placed on the palm’s edge and the palm itself. Finally, on the tech side, these gloves are touchscreen compatible at the tip of the index finger and thumb, so you won’t need to take them off too often.

GS Rallye: BMW motorcycle gloves for enduro riding

A combination of textile and goatskin leather on the palm: the GS Rallye gloves are perfect for summer! They are equipped with a protective shell featuring a foam underlayer and a rigid 3D plastic shell on the knuckles, ensuring optimal protection. The entire glove is highly abrasion-resistant. In addition, they offer excellent ventilation thanks to the textile on the back of the hand (which allows air to pass through and creates a cooling effect) and the vents in the protective shells. Their design is perfectly suited for enduro riding.

GS Rallye GTX: premium BMW gloves for summer

Equipped with a Gore-Tex membrane, these gloves are both breathable and waterproof. The palms are made of goatskin leather to offer flexibility and performance, and they are touchscreen compatible on the index fingers and thumbs. On the left index finger, you’ll find a wiping tab that allows you to clear raindrops or smudges from your visor. The gloves are designed to withstand falls, particularly thanks to the large rigid plastic protective shell lined with special shock-absorbing foam. As you can see, the GS Rallye GTX gloves are highly practical for enduro riding and your off-road adventures.

How to choose the right size of BMW summer motorcycle gloves?

To ensure optimal comfort and maximum protection, it’s essential to choose the correct size for your BMW summer motorcycle gloves. Take the time to measure the circumference of your dominant hand, just below the knuckles, without including the thumb. Then refer to the size chart provided by BMW Motorrad to find the exact match. A glove that is too tight may limit mobility and feel uncomfortable, while one that is too loose could compromise safety by slipping in the event of an impact. Make sure the fingers fit snugly, without excessive space, to ensure better riding precision.

Choosing BMW Motorrad summer motorcycle gloves means opting for gloves made from high-quality materials, such as perforated goatskin leather or technical textiles, which guarantee breathability and abrasion resistance. The presence of a Gore-Tex membrane can be a real asset to ensure waterproofing while maintaining good ventilation. Also, consider the size and fit to achieve optimal support without sacrificing freedom of movement.
