DeFeet Dura gloves - or something else ?

[SteCenturion]

Hello wise people of CC Towers.

I currently have these in Neon Yellow in my basket at Wiggle & was wondering if in fact they are any good ?

Is there something better & hi-viz out there for the money or maybe a little bit more ? Currently at around £8.90 (unless they have altered).

Are they reasonably warm ?

I won't ride on snow or ice covered roads on skinny road tyres, so they don't need to be Siberia proof.

Thanks all.

I think they're nice gloves.

I wore black ones with white grippy bits on the palms throughout last winter. I put short fingered gloves over the top on colder days. The fingers are good and long to suit my hand shape. Kept me warm throughout the admittedly mild winter. They're not windproof but it didn't seem to matter even when wet, except perhaps on a couple of rides.

Hard wearing and wash well too. Still look good despite daily use over four/five months.

They're great. But hopefully you've still got time to delete the hideous hi-viz yellow ones from the basket and replace them with black.

Oops, just clicked on my basket & the gloves have been auto removed due to Zero stock in my size (Large).

There were 10+ units in stock the other day so looks like I will have to sort them somewhere else. You snooze, you lose.

Think I will give them a shot & definitely in Neon Yellow, the more Visible to goons in the winter months the better (and they will match the DeFeet - overshoes I ordered).

Still open to options though, so cheers so far.
