9 Best Waterproof Summer Motorcycle Gloves for 2026 – Expert Quality Picks

Customer Review: “As an Amazon Vine Voice member and a daily rider, I’m always looking ty try new gear that doesn’t compromise on safety for the sake of airflow. The Masontex M30 Summer Motorcycle Gloves are a fantastic surprise, offering features and protection levels typically found in much more expensive ‘name brand’ gloves. Fit and Comfort: The fit on these is perfect. I ordered a Large, and they conform to my hands exactly as they should without any bunching in the palm or tightness at the fingertips. The palms are made of a soft, felt-like suede that provides a great tactile feel on the grips, making for a very comfortable riding experience right out of the box. Protection and Flexibility: One of the best things about the M30 is the protection layout. The carbon fiber knuckle protection is substantial, and I really appreciate the added protection on the fingers. Often, gloves with this much armor can feel stiff, but these remain remarkably flexible. You don’t feel like you’re fighting the glove when you reach for the levers, which is crucial for safety and comfort. Smart Features: Touchscreen Functionality: I’ve tested a lot of ‘touchscreen-compatible’ gloves, but these are truly flawless. I was able to navigate my phone and GPS without any lag or missed taps. Hidden Snap Flap: This is a brilliant, subtle addition. There is a hidden snap flap that allows you to keep the gloves together when you aren’t using them. It’s much more secure than just tossing them into a helmet and ensures you aren’t hunting for a stray glove. Breathability: These are excellent for late spring through early fall. The materials allow for great airflow, keeping your hands cool even on warmer days. Value: At $30, these are a phenomenal deal. You are getting genuine carbon fiber protection, high-quality suede palms, and excellent build quality at a significantly lower price point than the big racing brands. Conclusion: If you need a lightweight, breathable glove that still offers serious knuckle and finger protection, the Masontex M30 is an easy recommendation. It’s a well-built, feature-rich glove that performs far above its price tag. 5 out of 5 stars!”

Customer Review: “These thin, lightweight, gloves offer some protection in the event of a crash. These definitely have some of the necessary safety features that you will want in the event of a crash. The knuckle protection is very nice. However, the palm slider seems located a little bit low and to the inside. These do not include a pinky tether which should be included for this price. The ice-silk material seems pretty darn strong. For the price you pay, I think these could have a little better safety features. But these are definitely better than nothing and great for the summer.”

Customer Review: “These motorcycle gloves are excellent, especially for warm-weather riding. The mesh design keeps air flowing so your hands stay cool even on longer rides. The fit is snug without being restrictive, and they’re very comfortable right out of the package. Grip and control are solid, whether riding in traffic or on the highway. The padding and stitching feel durable, and they offer good protection without sacrificing flexibility. I also appreciate how lightweight they are—easy to wear for hours at a time. Great value for the price. Perfect gloves for everyday riding.”

Customer Review: “I’ve been using these INBIKE mesh gloves for a few weeks now around South Florida, and they’ve held up great. The airflow is awesome — my hands don’t overheat even on longer rides. The protection feels solid too, with strong knuckles and good palm padding. Touchscreen works better than most gloves I’ve tried, though not perfect every time. Fit was a bit tight at first, but they broke in after a few rides. Overall, very good quality for the price — comfortable, breathable, and protective. Just wish the fingers were a touch longer.”

Customer Review: “Awesome gloves great fit love the style ,color,grip,padding and flexibility also the knuckle protection is unmatched.”

Customer Review: “This is my second pair of these KEMIMOTO gloves, and I’m really impressed that the company has improved the fit since my last purchase. They are great for summer riding and feel very breathable. The Pros: Touchscreen Performance: The touchscreen compatibility is amazing—it works perfectly with my phone without any hassle. Better Sizing: The updated fit makes them much more comfortable than the older version. The Cons: Wrist Space: One downside for me (though it might just be my preference) is that it’s hard to wear a watch or wristbands with these gloves. The closure sits in a way that makes it tight in that area. However, taking off my watch or bands isn’t a dealbreaker for me. Overall, these are excellent gloves and definitely worth 5 stars!”

Customer Review: “Warmest and dryest gloves I ever bought. I don’t ride a motorcycle, but I live in Massachusetts and we’ve had a severe winter of below freezing, even below zero at times.”

Customer Review: “WATER RESISTANT! Not Waterproof. That being said, I love the gloves. I previously purchased a pair of INBIKE gloves for summer riding and they work great! These are also well made, warm and comfortable but NOT RAINPROOF. Had to ride approximately 45km in heavy rain, and they were soaked. Also be aware that these fit a bit tighter than the non insulated pair. Almost had to go up a size.”

Customer Review: “Great pair of gloves they work great for cold weather down to about low 40 degrees anything colder not so good I’ve been using these for my everyday gloves since I bought them back on November 15th of 2024 and they have held up very nicely I have had them wet from rain they will be okay in light rain but not heavy rain but they do dry nicely and it didn’t effect the life of the gloves they fit great and the bulkiness is great I like bulky gloves they look great once they break in they were stiff at first but after about a week they soften up very nicely and became nice and flexible but not to the point where they feel unsafe and as far as sweat causing smells hasn’t happened to me like other leather gloves I’ve owned but all in all I would absolutely recommend these gloves and I plan on buying another pair once these wear out and the pictures I’ve added are after 9 months of everyday use and they still work and look amazing no loose stitches or broken seams and no cracks in the leather”

Customer Review: “We ordered 2 pairs of gloves. We had to return them because the stitching was already coming undone on the velcro part of one of the gloves. The other pair didn’t fit (too big) but that was likely our fault. The replacement and second pair were much better. We are happy with the sizing. The size small has fingers long enough that I can wear medium length press on nails and the gloves do not pull on them at all. I wish the velcro area allowed them to do up tighter on my small wrists but this doesn’t affect functionality. They are comfortable and the lining is soft and minimal, which is important to us as we are in a warm climate. The touchscreen friendly fingertips allow us to adjust navigation with them on. The formed covers on the knuckle area are not super stiff and thus allow some movement but offer protection against road rash. While riding, the rigid knuckle area doesnt bother us as we can’t feel them. We are both really happy with our gloves and are happy we have matching his and her gear.”

Customer Review: “Great bang for the buck as far as cold temps go. 34F, varying speeds, my hands stayed warm. They are a bit bulky and the fingers were a touch long, but they still have been a solid investment so far.”

Customer Review: “These are significantly warmer than any of my other riding gloves in cold & dry weather, and are good quality gloves for riding at a reasonable prices, with just the drawbacks detailed below. While riding recently in a downpour at 40ish degrees F (~5C) my hands did get quite cold in spite of hand guards and heated grips… due to moisture ingress and the greater thermal conductivity. I’m not surprised, but ideally the winter gloves would suffice for comfort in rain + cold, as this condition is not a strange one. The safety features are good not great… good knuckle protection, not great heal slider, no pinkie merge to ring finger as found on CE-rated gloves. Still, better than many and just pointing out this could be a little bit better.”

Customer Review: “Great gloves they fit true to size! Very comfy look slick. Not super warm for cold weather but breathe very nice so very good for warm days.”

Customer Review: “These gloves are not made for warmth, they are well ventilated for hot weather. They are well made and a good value.”

Customer Review: “Saw these winter gloves on Amazon for under $20 around Xmas time. I ordered them expecting them to be pretty much cheap junk. When I received them, they are the best winter gloves I’ve ever owned. The fit is perfect, made from Real Sheep Skin Leather, very supple, very well insulated, look great, feel great. I would put these up against ANY of the big brands that would easily charge you up to $200 for a beautiful pair of gloves like these. I immediately told my riding buddies about these gloves, although they had gone up like $3 bucks in as little as a week, Amazon sold probably 6-10 pair immediately, all of whom loved them also. After examination, there is NO Brand anywhere on these gloves, which probably explains the low cost. But who cares, I own four street bikes, two ATV’s and two Dirt Bikes, have been riding motorcycles (street & dirt) for over 40 years, have racked up well over 500,000 miles on 2-wheels in my life and I KNOW MY GLOVES. These are worth 10 times what I paid.”

Customer Review: “Fits great in that XL is actually XL – they don’t skimp on leather. Also, Seems to be real cow leather, quite soft but not too soft to protect hands. Brand new but still reasonably easy to curl for throttle grip. Sliders on palm and knuckle side. QC seems to be very good as it is well stitched and good design great price and they arrived quickly. Recommend this seller.”
