Polaris have taken the concept of fully co-ordinating clothing to the next level with their Daisy Range, that includes a shirt, shorts and gloves, all building on a daisy theme that is very feminine. Certainly matching shorts and tops are commonplace, but the addition of gloves really gives you the opportunity to be very smart, right down to your fingertips.
The embroidered daisies, seen on the right leg of the shorts
are also embroidered on the sides of the Daisy Mitts, which are made in the same high wicking, steel grey fabric to give a fully coordinated look.
These mitts are designed with shorter fingers, which have been nicely finished, and a narrower fit overall to accommodate a women's hand.
Personally, I really liked the generous towelling wipe that extends from the wrist, over the thumb and up the forefinger. You can be sure I have mopped away a considerable amount of sweat while out testing these over the past week now that we are properly in Summer.
The padding is definitely adequate, I felt no pain or numbness during longer rides, and the combination of neoprene cuff, with a secure Velcro fastening, gives a nice snug fit at the wrist. And of course, they are machine washable, because life's too short to wash anything by hand!
All in all, great pair of lightweight gloves for summer, that are pretty and functional and a bit of a bargain too. Up to you if you want to go for the full daisy co-ordinated look though!
