Recommend me some fingerless gloves
Postby flashpixx » Tue Aug 18, 2015 1:00 pm
Been using Giro gloves which are great for comfort and fit but fall apart in 6 months!
Like the Giro Monaco http://www.bikebug.com/giro-monaco-glov ... 39421.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for design and comfort (gel padding).

I was going to say, if you're not going to buy African Hair Sheep leather, don't bother buying any gloves at all.jaseyjase wrote:http://www.rapha.cc/au/en_AU/shop/gt-gl ... duct/GTG02
EDIT: I wear these.
About the only insight I can give you is that after a year and roughly 3,000km (~150 hrs), they don't look like coming apart anytime soon. They've survived a few hand washes in that time too.

I have both the EasyRider and ProGel in short fingered gloves.

The Altura look ok from Wiggle.
I like the Galtani gloves but they only come in one size which is a pain as it really is too small:
I have some others but can't remember the brand. There looked like some decent fingerless gloves on a few sites, cyclechic.co.uk looked to have some decent gloves, might check them out.

Castelli Arenberg. The Specialized ones seem pretty good too.

I have smallish hands so experience tells I should try before I buy. Off to a spec LBS this arvo for some Holy Grail of cycling gloves - if I can negotiate the Nights who say NI!!

SA and WA getting Aldi soon.
Aldi has got some $10 gloves on Weds 30th. Got no complaints with them after 6months use. I had some UK brand about 3-4 years back with kevlar panels that lasted for a couple of years before the Aldi's, were around $30.(TUFF- I think the brand was) Have not seen them around any more though.

I moved to a giro padding free glove, giro ltz gloves, which are different type of gloves, but I am kinda glad the monaco's ripped cause I do much prefer the padding less gloves.
