Lightweight Full Finger Glove - Black
DESCRIPTION
Get a grip, Ornot.
Perforated synthetic suede palm, unpadded, UPF 50+
Our Lightweight Full Finger Glove is a minimal, unpadded cycling glove built for grip, blister protection, sun protection, and full-hand coverage without the bulk. The palm is thin perforated synthetic suede, grippy enough on its own that it needs no silicone print, and the UPF 50+ recycled fabric on top covers the back of your hand. No padding anywhere, so you keep a direct feel on the bars and you don’t overheat. We use these from cool mornings in the mid 50s up into the 80s.

Complete the look:
synthetic suede, not silicone
Most lightweight gloves get their grip from a silicone print on a slick palm, and that print is the part that goes first. This palm is thin perforated synthetic suede. It grips on its own, so there is nothing printed on top to wear off.
full finger summer
Hot is exactly when your hands are sweatiest and your grip is worst, especially with sunscreen running off the backs of your hands. The perforated palm and open UPF 50+ knit keep air moving.
details
A reinforced, gusseted thumb web. A bonded, clean-finished cuff: no velcro tab to catch, no elastic band to leave a mark. Fingertips are conductive because it is 2026 and this is mandatory.
Baby soft hands?
Two things wear and tear on your palms. One is friction, after hours of small movements vibrating through your bars. The second is the ground.
We recommend you try not to fall, but if you do, your hands go out first and gloves become your +1 power-up. It's a single layer, and that layer is the difference between a story and a month of bandages.
No padding, on purpose
Padded gloves put foam or gel between you and the bars. Which is a problem if you want to feel anything.
These gloves have none. The palm is a single thin perforated layer so you can feel what your bike is doing. You've already got soft bar tape or grips, right?
FAQ
Do these gloves have silicone grip?
No, and they don’t need it. The palm is synthetic suede, which is grippy on its own. Most lightweight gloves print silicone dots or bars onto a slick palm to compensate for the material, and that printed grip is usually the first thing to wear off. There’s nothing printed here to lose.
Do cycling gloves prevent blisters?
That’s one of the main reasons to wear them. Blisters come from friction, hours of pressure and small movements between your palm and the bar tape. A glove takes that friction instead of your skin. This one uses a thin, unpadded synthetic suede palm cut close so it doesn’t bunch, since a bunched glove causes the same hot spots it’s supposed to prevent.
What temperature are these gloves good for?
Cool mornings up into the 80s °F. They’re not insulated, so genuinely cold rides call for a thermal or merino glove. At the top of the range they work better than bare hands, not worse. Heat is when your hands are sweatiest and your grip is worst.
Should I wear gloves in hot weather?
Counterintuitively, yes. Hot weather is when bare hands slip most. Sweat and running sunscreen both wreck your grip on the hoods, and the back of your hand is taking direct sun the whole ride. A perforated synthetic suede palm and an open UPF 50+ knit upper give you grip and coverage while still moving air.
Do these gloves protect your hands in a crash?
They put a layer of synthetic suede between your palm and the ground, with extra reinforcement at the thumb web where abrasion hits first. This is a lightweight glove, not armor, but hands go down first in almost every crash, and a layer is meaningfully better than nothing. We also offer crash replacement assistance.
Are full finger gloves too hot?
Not if they’re built for it. This one uses an open recycled knit upper and a perforated synthetic suede palm, so air moves through the whole glove. The UPF 50+ coverage also offsets the fabric: covered skin in the shade runs cooler than bare skin in direct sun.
Do these gloves work with a touchscreen?
Yes. The fingertips are conductive, so your phone, bike computer, and camera all work without taking the gloves off.
Do they have any padding?
No. The palm is a single perforated synthetic suede layer with no gel or foam. Deliberate, so you keep full articulation and a direct feel for the bars. If you get hand numbness on long rides and want cushioning, look at a padded glove instead.
How do Ornot’s Lightweight Full Finger Gloves fit?
Close and stretchy. Sized S to XL and cut snug so they don’t bunch in the palm. Between sizes, size down for a second-skin fit, size up if you don’t like anything tight on your hands. Exchanges are free.
What are they made of?
82% recycled polyamide and 18% elastane. The palm is perforated synthetic suede; the upper is a recycled Italian knit rated UPF 50+. Made in Tunisia.
How do I wash them?
Wash cold and hang dry. Avoid the dryer and fabric softener.
Good for
- Road, gravel, and dirt, from cool mornings up into the 80s
- Hot days especially, since sweaty hands are when grip matters most
- Long days where blisters and hot spots are the limiting factor
- Anyone whose hands slip on the hoods, bars, or grips once sweat or sunscreen shows up
- Riders who want bar feel and find padded gloves numbing or vague
- Commuting and bikepacking, where you’re in them for hours
- Full sun, without the half-finger tan line
Not for
- Cold weather. No insulation and no wind protection. For genuinely cold rides, go thermal or merino.
- Rain. The knit is breathable, not waterproof.
- Riders who specifically want gel or foam padding for hand numbness
- Oven mitt replacement, or snowboarding
