SPORTFUL PRO Short Gloves Black

The Gloves Sportful Pro are high-end short gloves developed for demanding cyclists seeking a direct and ultra-precise connection with their handlebars. Born from the brand's experience at the heart of the professional peloton, this minimalist model prioritises aerodynamics, lightness and maximum breathability for race days or intensive training sessions in hot weather.

The distinctive feature of the Pro range lies in its streamlined palm. Unlike traditional cycling gloves with heavy padding, this model keeps cushioning to the strict minimum to guarantee a firm and precise grip on the handlebar. The back of the hand is made from a technical stretch fabric with a "second skin" effect that instantly wicks away perspiration and fits perfectly without creating any pressure points.

What is the main difference between the Pro model and the Padded model? The Padded model focuses on pure comfort with thick foam inserts to absorb shocks over long distances. In contrast, the Pro model is a race glove: its padding is extremely discreet and flat to prioritise lightness, a refined grip feel and raw performance.

Are they easy to put on and take off without a Velcro strap? Yes. To improve aerodynamics and comfort, Sportful has removed the wrist strap. The glove uses a very supple elastic cuff that stretches to let the hand through and then fits snugly. To remove them, simply turn them inside out gently from the fingers or use the small pull-off loops.

How do the Pro Gloves fit? This model features a very close-fitting cut (Race Fit) designed to mould to the hand. The upper fabric is highly stretchy while the palm remains firm to ensure hold. If you prefer not to feel too tight or if your fingers are slightly wide, we recommend selecting one size up from your usual size.
