Gloves soak up that sweat, keeping your hands dry and allow you to maintain a safe grip on the handlebars at all time. Gloves can have padded palms, providing extra comfort by cushioning your hands from the vibrations passed through the bike and handlebar to the main contact points.
When trying on cycling gloves, focus on the webbing between your pointer finger and thumb. The webbing will give you a great indication of fit when holding a handlebar. If the glove is snug enough to avoid scrunching up and chaffing, then it's a good fit.

Measure your dominant hand with a tape measure around the knuckles in inches (your left if you are left handed and your right if you are right handed) The size that you measure in inches, is your glove size, so if you measure 9 inches, you will need a medium glove.
