Riga Cycling Gloves

On long rides through the Western Ghats or weekend loops around Pune and Hyderabad, small kit choices add up fast. The Santini Riga Cycling Gloves address the basics that matter most in Indian conditions: grip on sweat-slicked bars, palm cushioning on rough tarmac, and breathability when temperatures push past 35°C.

Use Cases

Daily training. Padded palms and wicking back for repeat use on training rides.

Long endurance rides. Vibration-dampening and grip support for full-day rides over rough Indian tarmac.

Cold weather riding. Insulated construction for Delhi winter and high-altitude rides.

Our Take

The Santini Riga is a well-considered short-finger glove built for riders who take their accessories as seriously as their drivetrain. In India's heat and humidity, a glove that manages sweat without bulk is worth every rupee. The Riga's cycling-specific cut and performance fabrics make it a reliable daily-use choice whether you're climbing Khandala or grinding out kilometres on Delhi's early-morning roads.

Sizing for Indian Riders

Santini follows European sizing, so measure your hand circumference before ordering. Indian riders with wider or meatier palms often find Santini gloves run slightly narrow — sizing up one size is a sensible precaution. In humid conditions, a slightly roomier fit also improves airflow and reduces friction during multi-hour rides in Chennai or Ahmedabad summers.

Compatibility Notes

The Riga gloves suit road, gravel, and recreational cycling. They pair with any standard drop-bar or flat-bar setup. Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent and hang to dry — avoid fabric softener, which degrades technical fabrics. Compatible with touchscreen devices through the finger panels where applicable.

Pairs Well With

Complete your contact-point kit by pairing these gloves with a well-ventilated cycling cap or sun-protection headwear, a breathable short-sleeve jersey, quality cycling socks, and a padded bib short for longer rides in India's demanding heat.
