I need to protect my hands if I have a fall. I am asking for recommendations for cycling gloves as I havnt any at the moment. My hands tear easily (old age) and need protection. When I was a Biker I always wore gloves because of having a fall but I haven’t a clue what brand is best?
I am looking at a pair of Thousand, brand, cycle gloves but personally recommend would help.

What I wear. Suits me ok:

Summer: Shimano fingerless gloves. I've tried various brands and they're much of a muchness but Shimano branded ones are my favourite. I'm not sure why, I just like them. (Can't find a link to the ones I wear, maybe they don't do them any more)

Winter: I don't wear cycling gloves, I prefer Tegera work gloves. Warm and waterproof-ish. https://www.safetygloves.co.uk/ejendals-tegera-295-waterproof-thermal-work-gloves.html

Autumn/spring: Just some light full finger gloves I got somewhere. Decathlon probably.

Imo any brand will do, as long as they fit you.
I use summer padded mitts.
For winter I have many pair of gloves, some marketed for cycling, others non specific.
The only gloves I bought and actively disliked were Sealskins, a bad fit for my hands and they were not very good at keeping the cold out.
Imo gloves from Aldi when the cycling events are on are fine.
