Yes, gauntlet gloves are safer—but there are times when you just won’t want to wear them, and that’s when short cuff gloves come in handy. Short cuff gloves tend to be more comfortable, have a lower profile, and are usually easier to pull on and off—while still offering protection for your skin and knuckles.
RevZilla’s got some terrific deals on short cuff gloves this week, and we’ve chosen a few of our favorites. See our picks below or view the whole list here.
