About this guide
₹1,000 buys a genuinely protective pair of riding gloves in India today, not a toy — knuckle protection, mesh venting and touchscreen fingertips are all standard at this price now.

Buying tips
- Knuckle protection (TPR or hard plastic) matters more than material at this budget — the Autofy FANTOM and Steelbird options here are the ones that include it.
- Touchscreen-compatible fingertips are worth prioritizing if you use phone navigation at traffic stops; several of these gloves include it under ₹500.
- Half-finger gloves (like the Vega VGL-24) trade knuckle and finger protection for ventilation — better suited to short city rides than highway speeds.
- Check the size chart before ordering; most of these brands run true to Indian hand-size charts but sizing varies between Probiker, Steelbird and Vega.
