Handup Shorties Cycling Gloves - Solid Black, Short Finger, Touchscreen Compatible, Unisex

If you want a simple warm-weather glove that disappears once you're riding, the Handup Shorties do exactly that. These are short finger cycling gloves built for long road rides, gravel days, and everyday riding where grip, bar feel, and comfort matter more than bulky padding.

Handup keeps these intentionally minimal—no extra padding, no unnecessary bulk, just solid grip, touchscreen compatibility, sweat management, and enough sun protection for all-day riding.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility & Technical Notes

These are designed for riders who prefer direct bar feel instead of thick gel padding. Great for road bikes, gravel bikes, flat bar fitness bikes, and e-bikes where control and dexterity matter.

Good fit for riders who already like unpadded gloves or want better hand feel on longer rides. Not ideal for riders specifically looking for heavy gel padding or winter insulation.

Service / Ownership Context

Gloves are one of the easiest comfort upgrades most riders overlook. Better grip means better control, especially on rough gravel, wet roads, or long endurance rides where sweaty hands become a problem.

These also work well for riders using phones, bike computers, and GPS devices frequently thanks to the FullTouch touchscreen compatibility.
