No gloves!

[chillyuk]

I need some new cycling gloves. I like the fingerless variety and I have large hands so obviously need large gloves. I also get trigger finger a fair bit on both hands so need well padded ones. In the absence of a LBS in my town I decided to look in the Go-Outdoors shop. Load of old tat they had, so I went over the road to Halfords. Not a pair of gloves in the shop. I still think the best ones I had were from Lidl.

My Lidl gloves just will not wear out, pity as the spare pairs I bought are occupying valuable space in my wardrobe.

Your wardrobe... or Barbie's?

I had a pair of the Hellfrauds best ones before and found the edges of their finger would rub against my fingers.

I bought a pair of the crochet backed ones from Decathlon three years ago for about two quid. Still going strong :-)

I've just bought a pair of THESE after my last gloves started parting company with themselves.

I have hands like shovels and find it hard sometimes to get a good fit, but these are great and proved comfortable over 65 miles last weekend

I bought some Pearl Izumi gel gloves in the US, which seem better than my non-gel Giros which had gone a bit thin.

I have these... http://www.probikekit.com/uk/pearl-izumi-select-gel-cycling-gloves-mitts.html (I paid $30 though!)

Otherwise, Specialized gel ones seem decent, just had a devil of a job finding any in my size! No gel gloves seem to come up especially big - if you have large hands, you'll likely need XXL I reckon

Endura Mighty Mitts for about £15 - nice, well made and comfortable. (Not that there's anything wrong with cheapo Aldi fingerless gloves when they're in stock though.)

Speg. Still going strong, and working hard.

Really, my Lidl ones were shoot to put it politelly! Fell to bits, literally, in about 3 days.

I use fingerless sailing gloves - really tough and never wear out.
