RARE PHOTOS: French gear maker bering introduces the rift summer gloves | Vintage Vibes

When it comes to motorcycle gear, riding gloves are sometimes disregarded. While some may believe they aren't all that important, all it takes is a minor drop for you to instantly think the opposite. In case of an accident, a decent pair of riding gloves may provide quite a lot of protection for your hands. Not only that, but gloves can keep your hands warm on chilly days and protect your mitts from the sun's rays throughout the summer.

As motorcyclists, we all desire to minimize tiredness and discomfort caused by the heat of the sun, especially during the summer season, when merely stepping out of your door can seem like stepping into an oven. When it comes to riding gear, there's a long-held belief that lighter, breathable riding gear provides inferior protection than heavier, bulkier gear. Indeed, materials science has progressed leaps and bounds in recent years. This implies that motorcycle gloves and jackets may be both light and breathable while yet providing excellent protection.
