Cycle Mitts

[johnnyb47]

I've got a pair of Endura fingerless cycling gloves. I don't usually wear gloves but as it was a little cold today I used them and was impressed by how much they absorbed the road vibrations out through the bars. I think I will wear them all the time from now on whilst out on the bike.

My favourite mitts are a pair of Louis Garneau Biogel 'Ergo'. Louis Garnea seem to change their line very often so I think the current 'equivalent' is 'BIOGEL RX-V'. Very comfy, do not get uncomfortable in the hot weather like some do, they are hard-wearing and can survive the washing machine quite happily. I tried a couple of pairs from Aldi but they never felt right and (for me) got a bit uncomfortable when the going was warm.

For cheap but usable, I find that Aldi ones are much better than Lidl.

For bling but comfy, Gore retro tech mitts in white

Yeah, similar experience here with the aldi gloves for me. They generally last 1 or 2 seasons, then start to fall apart, mainly because they get washed each week.

Cripes - that is frequent. I use several pairs but even so they probably get washed every 6 to 9 months.

I use Specialized BG gel mitts in the summer. They cost about £30 a pair which is ludicrous for a scrap of fabric and stuff knocked up for a couple pence somewhere out East. In winter, I wear five quid Lidl ski gloves. Really excellent, but not particularly waterproof. I really don't like not wearing gloves. Having a road surface plane off the skin from both palms when you come off is a major inconvenience, particularly if you work with your hands a bit.

Sorry, I should have been clear. Two seasons = two years.
