Leather mitts

[Atticus]

I have the Galibier Campionissimo IIs, which I think are in stock:

This is the second summer I have been using them, I always used giro and lizardskins before, but I would happily get another pair of the Galibier ones when these eventually fail. I would say that they did take about 6 or 8 rides before they felt really comfortable.

I am a 9/10 in normal gloves so was definitely an XL in these, I struggled to get my fingers into the L.

Galibier are a really nice company to deal with.

Hope that helps.

I'm happy with Gore C3 mitts.

They protect the bar tape from my grubby/sweaty hands ;-)

I love Galibier, so will certainty consider these, but I a certainly not one of those people who can keep a nice pair of white gloves looking white for too long.

Have you looked at Altura crochet mitts?
Synthetic suede palm, very comfy and change from £15.

I had seen these, do they fit quite tight or are they a bit slack?

Certainly not too tight, they have some stretchy material between the suede and the crochet bit in the fingers.

Giro Zero CS are pretty good for summer use and around twenty sheets (channeling my inner you-know-who) a pair. Decent fit and grippy. The synth leather is good and they're cool to wear. From memory they do a few colours - mine are black and have worn well for two summers
