Cycling gloves

Cycling gloves are a key point of contact between the cyclist and the bike. They directly influence control, comfort, and safety, especially on long rides or in demanding conditions.

At Twenty One, we design technical gloves for road, gravel, or indoor cycling, tested in real-world scenarios such as the Costa Brava (Girona) and the Pyrenees, where the terrain and climate are unforgiving.

Our collection focuses on the essentials: precise fit, functional materials, and consistent performance, without unnecessary elements. Gloves that accompany the cyclist in every movement, without distraction.

Types of technical gloves available

Currently, the collection is structured into two key models, designed to meet the real needs of cyclists throughout the year.

Short cycling gloves for summer

Designed for medium and high temperatures, they prioritize breathability and direct contact with the handlebars.

• Lightweight and elastic back
• Palm optimized for control and grip
• Aerodynamic fit without excessive padding

Ideal for intense rides, demanding training, and competition.

Long thermal cycling gloves

Designed for moderate cold and autumn/winter rides. They maintain control without losing sensitivity, even on long routes.

• Balanced thermal fabric
• Protection against wind and light cold
• Ergonomic fit in cycling position
• Recommended for mountain rides and early morning

How to choose technical cycling gloves

Choosing the right cycling gloves depends on several key factors. These are the variables that really matter.

By season and temperature

• Summer / warm weather: short, light, and breathable gloves
• Autumn / mild winter: long thermal gloves, without excessive bulk

It's not about over-insulating, but about maintaining hand functionality throughout the ride.

By cycling type and use

• Road: snug fit, low volume, and fine control
• Gravel: stability, grip, and comfort on uneven terrain
• Indoor: lightweight gloves to improve grip and hygiene

Materials and applied technology

Twenty One's technical gloves are designed based on real use:

• Technical elastic fabrics that follow the natural movement of the hand
• Palms optimized for control without stiffness
• Reduced seams to avoid pressure points
• Controlled breathability to maintain comfort during long efforts
• Each material is chosen for its function, not for aesthetics

Fit, sizes, and ergonomics

A glove should fit snugly, without looseness or tension. A poor fit reduces control and causes fatigue.

• Ergonomic fit in cycling position
• "Second skin" feel
• No creases in the palm

• Wash cold
