Pink and black half-finger gloves with mesh backs and gray textured palms

Choose coverage and palm feel for the ride

Half-finger: For road, indoor and warmer-weather programs where direct fingertip access matters. Full-finger: For MTB, commuting or broader coverage; check fingertip reach and brake-lever feel. Palm padding and grip: Position foam, reinforcement and silicone around the actual bar contact, then check pressure and movement on a sample.

Panel Construction, Silicone Printing and Decoration

Sewn panels, silicone printing and textile decoration combine the cycling glove’s functional and visual design.

Choose Half-Finger or Full-Finger Coverage

Select coverage for the ride, weather and controls. Check finger openings or fingertip length, movement, ventilation and access to brake and shift controls on the sample.

  • Half-Finger Coverage
    Road, indoor, commuting, or warm-weather collections. Confirm finger-opening position, edge comfort, removal fit, and control access on the sample.
  • Full-Finger Coverage
    MTB, commuting, or projects needing more hand coverage. Confirm fingertip length, lever feel, ventilation, and the exact function required before production.

Build the Palm Around Handlebar Contact

Position reinforcement, foam padding, and silicone for the target handlebar, riding posture, and grip needs, then approve them together on a physical sample.

  • Palm Reinforcement
    High-contact palm zones in road, MTB, or commuter projects. Confirm reinforcement shape and seams where the hand meets the target grip.
  • Foam Padding
    For defined cushioning at handlebar contact points. Confirm pad location, outline, and thickness by testing the sample in the intended riding position; no single layout suits every hand position.
  • Anti-Slip Silicone Print
    Brands needing a specified grip pattern or visible palm detail. Confirm artwork, coverage, placement, and adhesion on the selected palm material.

Set Measurements Before Size Grading

Set fit from a measurement table or approved reference glove. S–XXL and special sizes can be developed; confirm the measuring method, intended fit and grading before bulk production.

  • Palm Circumference
    Core hand-width control for multi-size retail ranges. State the measuring position and whether the target fit is close or relaxed.
  • Finger Length
    Half-finger openings or full-finger fingertip fit. Measure the relevant fingers and check reach to riding controls on the sample.
  • Overall Length
    Projects comparing total hand and cuff coverage. Define start and end points so the measurement can be repeated consistently.
  • Wrist Opening
    Designs using a shaped cuff or wrist tightening structure. Confirm the opening at rest and when the glove is put on.
  • S–XXL Grading
    Brands planning a standard multi-size assortment. Approve the base size and grade rules rather than relying only on size names.
  • Special Sizes
    Programs needing measurements beyond the standard range. Provide target measurements and expected quantity by size for feasibility review.

Select a Logo Method for Each Material Zone

Submit vector artwork if available. Material, placement, artwork detail and desired finish determine the logo method; approve method, color, size and position on the glove sample.

  • Screen Print
    Clear graphics on suitable fabric panels. Confirm ink color, artwork detail, print area, and material compatibility.
  • Heat Transfer
    Multicolor or detailed marks on compatible backhand areas. Confirm film appearance, edge, flexibility, and application area on the sample.
  • Embroidery
    Woven brand marks where fabric weight and placement permit. Confirm stitch density, backing, size, and whether the panel can carry the embroidery.
  • Silicone Print
    Raised or grip-focused branding, including suitable palm applications. Confirm relief, coverage, placement, color, and adhesion to the chosen material.
  • Sublimation
    All-over or integrated graphics on compatible polyester-based panels. Confirm printable panel, color artwork, seams, and final layout before sampling.

Test and Approve Pressure Zones and Grip

Test the sample on the intended handlebar and controls in the required riding postures. Approve pad edges, silicone contact, seams, finger movement, wrist hold and size before releasing the production specification.

Custom Cycling Gloves FAQ

Choose according to the riding conditions, controls and coverage needed. Half-finger styles provide direct fingertip access; full-finger styles provide broader coverage. Both need fit and grip checks with the intended handlebar.
Foam placement, palm reinforcement and silicone grip patterns can be reviewed for cycling gloves. Check the sample in the intended riding posture so padding supports contact without unnecessary bulk.
Send the riding use, handlebar type, coverage preference, reference glove and any palm-layout notes. Add sizes, quantity and artwork when available. GloveWise can help review materials, padding and the sample approval points.
MOQ is usually 500 pairs, depending on materials, construction, sizes, branding and packing. Samples generally take 5–10 working days; bulk production usually takes 20–30 working days after written sample and specification approval and the required deposit. Testing, revisions, quantity and scheduling can change these ranges. Shipping time is separate.
