What the law says
In France, wearing approved gloves is mandatory for all riders and passengers of powered two-wheelers since 20 November 2016, including during the summer. In the event of a fall, the reflex is to put your hands on the ground: without protection, palms and fingers can be severely injured. The gloves must carry the CE label according to the EN 13594 standard, which guarantees their resistance to abrasion and impacts.
For the other seasons
Motorcycle gloves are also available in:
All gloves are gathered on the gloves page.
Ventilation and protection
The summer glove combines ventilation and protection. Models made from textile and mesh, like the Racer, Ixon or Furygan ventilated gloves, allow air to flow through, while perforated leather gloves, like the 4Square, RST TracTech or Racer leather gloves, offer better abrasion resistance. The hard shells on the knuckles and D3O protections, a soft material that hardens on impact, enhance safety. The Knox Handroid even protects the back of the hand with an exoskeleton.
Short or long
The short glove, which stops at the wrist, prioritises freedom and freshness in the city and on scooters. The long glove, with a cuff, slips over the sleeve of the jacket to protect the wrist, recommended for road and track use. For off-road, lightweight gloves like the Alpinestars SMX or Racer MX Clutch Control provide a precise feel. Choose fitted gloves, with no space at the fingertips.

Frequently asked questions
Are motorcycle gloves mandatory even in the summer?
Yes, since 20 November 2016, approved gloves are mandatory in France for all riders and passengers of powered two-wheelers, regardless of the season. Not wearing them can result in a fine.
Leather or textile gloves for summer?
Leather offers the best resistance to abrasion and a great grip, especially if it is perforated. Ventilated textile is cooler and dries quickly; many models combine both, leather in the palm and airy textile on the back.
Should you wear long cuffs with summer gloves?
Gloves with long cuffs cover the sleeve of the jacket and protect the wrist in case of a slide, a recommended choice for fast road riding and sporty situations. Short gloves, which are cooler, are suitable for the city and leisurely rides.
How do you choose the right size for motorcycle gloves?
Measure the circumference of your hand at the knuckles, excluding the thumb, and refer to the brand's sizing guide. The glove should fit snugly without compressing, with the fingers barely touching the tip.
What does the CE marking on motorcycle gloves mean?
It certifies that the gloves comply with the European standard for motorcycle gloves, which assesses resistance to abrasion, cuts, and tears. The KP mark additionally indicates protection for the joints.
