When I was a kid riding dirt bikes, more than once I went over the handlebars with my hands out in front of me. That's when I forever learned the importance of motorcycle gloves. Motorcycle gloves are your best protection against a serious case of road rash.

There are several types of gloves:

Summer gloves are usually mesh gloves (mesh uppers with leather palms) or a light-weight leather such as buckskin. While both of these gloves don't provide the highest level of "road rash" protection, they can make your summer and warm weather riding much more comfortable. The downside of both of these types of gloves is that if you get caught in a summer storm, you can quickly end up with cold and wet hands.

Racing gloves can be a good solution as an all-purpose glove. While many of them are waterproof, they also provide a high level or "rash" protection. racing gloves
   
So I always carry two pairs of gloves with me, a mesh pair for warm weather and a pair of water-proof winter gloves. If I start out riding on a nice summer day and I get caught in a winter thunderstorm, I'll just pull over for a minute and switch to my water-proof gloves (and also put on my rain gear.)   Winter motorcycle gloves
