Experience the allure of hand-stitched, natural leather with the Regale glove. Crafted in pristine white or dark red leather, this glove effortlessly combines timeless imagery with modern aesthetics. Unlike other gloves that lose their lustre over time, the Regale only becomes more beautiful and cherished with each ride, capturing memories and shared adventures.
Despite our exploration into tech-driven solutions, we found that genuine leather consistently provides superior comfort and protection for the long haul. Benefiting from dual-thickness leathers, a tapered wrist, and natural ventilation, these gloves promise durability and a fit that molds to the contour of your hands. Just give it two rides, and you’ll experience the glove adapting to your unique hand shape, thanks to the breathable and sweat-wicking properties of goatskin, which is softer than cowhide yet impressively resilient.
These gloves are a testament to artisan craftsmanship, being entirely hand-cut and sewn. While this means each pair might have subtle variations, it only adds to their unique charm. Goatskin, often considered nature’s most robust leather, offers excellent tensile strength and resistance to wear, all while remaining supple and lightweight.
For additional comfort, the palm features a gentle padding through an extra layer of leather, complemented by finger perforations and a perforated backhand for enhanced ventilation. Although they might feel snug initially, especially around the fingers, they’ll soon stretch and become a cherished accessory in your cycling wardrobe.
Features:
- Meticulous hand-stitching with reinforcements at crucial wear points.
- Road-specific padding using double-layered leather at contact points.
- Dark red or Snow White
- Designed with knuckle holes for added comfort.
- Secure velcro fastener.
- Dual embossed Galibier logo for a touch of elegance.
- Includes a cotton bag for presentation and storage.
Sizing Guide: For an ideal fit, the gloves should be snug. Measure the circumference around your knuckles and refer to our size chart for guidance. Remember, a well-fitting glove should be removed one finger at a time.
Sweat will eventually eat away at the leather without any care, so it is important to regularly clean the gloves and apply glove balm to maintain the integrity of the leather.

Really well stitched and very comfortable to wear. However, I’ve been using them for several months, dozens of rides and still, when I take them off, it looks like I’m on the run from a crime scene. Tried washing in delicate handwash, but the dye keeps coming out and takes several days to fade.

The most comfortable and versatile gloves I’ve owned. I remain amazed at how they are warm when it’s cold, but cool when it’s warm. They are comfortable without excessive padding. The red staining is something else — luckily it only takes a few washes before I’m skin coloured again. Hopefully this will stop eventually because I love them.

Good well fitting and well padded leather mitts are essential for touring – but increasingly hard to come by! thank heavens for these – the moderate padding is surprisingly effective – and the fit is great – avoids awkward pressures and constriction. the leather quality and stitching seems great. these are instant favourites! thanks again to Galibier for maintaining standards 🙂

Bought these gloves specifically for Pan Celtic Race 2024. They were fantastic, no issues with sore hands from being on the bike 12+ hours a day. They definitely mould into the shape of your hand after a bit of use, the pad part of the glove is a bit discoloured, but doesn’t effect the functionality of the glove.

I agree entirely with the previous review, these really are top quality cycling gloves at an unbelievably low price. Tight-fitting at first, they mould perfectly to your hands fairly quickly after several rides, to the point where you don’t know you’re wearing them – which is of course how it should be. Taking them off after a long ride is easy too. Another colour would be good of course, but that’s not a worry as I like the white, I’m almost tempted to buy another pair so I’m never without them…

These are top quality cycling gloves at unbelievable value for hand stitched leather gloves.I have worn them on a good number of rides since purchasing them & they get better each time. On spins in excess of 100 km, whatever part of your body may get sore or uncomfortable, it won’t be your hands with these gloves. They may be white but so far grubbiness & dirt is not an issue, they still look like new.

Difficult to size but good materials and beautifully made.
Leather doesn’t have the elasticity of the materials found on most mitts so I found sizing difficult. Otherwise the gloves feel good – goat leather is a fantastic material. Galibier were fast to exchange sizes.
