Do you ride motorcycles and are you vegan? Then this blog is perfect for you…
there’s a growing group of vegan motorcyclists who avoid animal products.
And while some motorcycle gear may be hard for vegan riders to attain, we’re happy to report that motorcycle gloves don’t have to be one of them.
First Things First: WHY use Motorcycle Gloves?
“Motorcycle gloves offer added protection, safety, comfort, and style. They help protect your hands from serious injury, offer added grip strength for better control of your handlebars, and dampen vibrations from the road.” – cestusline
It goes without saying: All the Gear, All the Time.
Every rider is going to have an unplanned get-off at some point. Your gear will save your hands, and your hide.
Our Best Selling Vegan Motorcycle Glove Choices
Here are 7 Olympia styles that are leather-free and are made with no animal products:
- The #760 Air Force Gel glove is our top-selling vegan glove. A great spring glove, it offers a full mesh back that allows maximum airflow while riding. Washable, gel palm to reduce vibrations, neoprene cuff to keep wrists cool, terry cloth sweat wipe on the back of the thumb, in 3 color combinations.
- The ladies version is the #765 Ladies Air Force Gel glove … also with the same benefits as the men’s glove, listed above. Olympia 765 Ladies Air Force Gel Gloves – Olympia Gloves
- For a fingerless option, take a look at the #757 Air Force Gel glove. In summer’s heat, it will keep you cool, and offers the same benefits as the full finger glove plus has quick release finger pulls for getting it off your hand easily.
- For colder weather, Olympia offers the #6000 Mustang I, #6003 Mustang III, and #6500 Cold Zip gloves … great choices to keep your hands warm and dry in winter weather. With Thinsulate, these are good gloves for both motorcycle riders and for snowmobilers. All are waterproof and windproof, too.
- The #7300 Cold Weather Touch Screen glove not only has Touch Screen technology, to keep hands warm with Thinsulate while using your iphone or other electronics, it’s waterproof and windproof! (Olympia Style #7300).
- Finally, when temperatures drop, all 6 of our glove liners provide the extra warmth that a vegan rider might need.
While you might have to search a little harder for vegan jackets, race suits, or even vegan engine oil, getting a new pair of mitts should be as easy as (vegan) pie.
