Summer Mesh Gloves

Kenya's hot riding weather demands ventilated gloves that keep your hands cool in traffic without sacrificing protection. Summer mesh gloves feature perforated or full-mesh panels that allow airflow across the hand, combined with hard knuckle protectors and reinforced palms. The Bike Yard stocks summer mesh gloves from Alpinestars, RST and Komine, ideal for Nairobi commuters, coastal rides and the hot highland dry seasons. Prices start from KES 2,800. While mesh gloves sacrifice some abrasion resistance compared to full leather, they remain CE-rated to EN 13594 and offer significantly better protection than ungloved riding. Our staff can compare specific models so you find the right balance of ventilation and protection for your daily route and distance.
