Road Gloves

[Hacienda71]

I like planet x fit mitts. Good quality and cheap enough to pass on if you don't get on with them.

Gore Xenon 2 for me

Seconded!

Gloves are like shoes - you have to try them on. Recommendations are meaningless unfortunately.

On the other hand (sorry), I only tried Giro gloves because of a recommendation...

Total rubbish, A mate reccomended specialized gloves, I wear them all the time. Recomdation is the best advise you can get. Especialy when it's from some one you know and trust.

Let me recommend some shoes to you in that case. Innov8 Trailroc, size 42. You definitely won't be disappointed..

Specialized BG Gel Mitts for me on longer rides.

Also like Endrua Xtract mitt for commuting

My specialized BG gloves came about from a recommendation on here too strangely enough

That would actually be a fair recommendation in fairness, until you stipulated the size.

The OP didn't ask to recommend him a size!

I have Specialized BG also and guess what...yes, a mate recommended them to me too.

I tried them on to get the right size, naturally. Tredz wouldn't price match when I bought them, as said the ones I saw elsewhere were last years colour. They happen to be plain black, the same as the year before, and the same design too. Lol.

He won't know what size to buy unless he tries them on. Which kind of brings me back to my original point.

Which is my point too. He has asked for a recommendation. He doesn't say he won't try them on in the shop?

"Can people recommend a good pair of fingerless road gloves". Was the question, size has nothing to do with it, I'm sure the OP can figure out for himself he needs to try them to get the correct size and make sure they fit nice. This place gets more pedantic by the day

+1 but they do get whiffy if you have sweaty hands! Mine last about 3-6 months, cost £20+ a time

You know you can put them through the washing machine, with minimal ill effects?

 

[vickster]

Of course I wash them! But after a couple of rides, they are the same. I've tried soaking in bicarb too before washing. They shrink a bit while washing and get uncomfortable. They are however the best type for protecting my damaged hand though, just have to buy new ones regularly

I wash my Specialized BG's after every long ride and every couple of short rides, and they don't ever change size. I always do my clothing at 30 degrees, so perhaps that helps?
