Plenty of padding
|
These women specific gloves represent great value for money, the overall fit was good too but be aware the sizes come up a bit larger than we expected. Although small hands won't be disappointed as sizing goes down to a commendable XXS.
The overall finish looks to be neat and functional, rather than luxurious, with no finishing at the end of the fingers but there is the obligatory towelling wipe on both thumbs (we may be ladies, but we still sweat!). There are mesh section over the knuckles, which makes them really comfortable when the hand is closed providing a nice stretch without restriction and gives good ventilation too.
Importantly the Neoprene filled padding is well situated and substantial enough to reduce vibration making them comfortable on long rides, the palms provide a good gip on the bars too.
Given that they'll get plenty of hard use it's handy (oops-sorry) that they are machine washable, which is an essential feature of any glove I use. My overall impression is that they are great no frills gloves for everyday riding.
We may have received these mitts too late to make the most of summer riding but they'll be sure to see some Track action over the winter. Roll on the warmer weather!
