*Summer* long finger glove reccomendations ?

[bad boy]

Good Afternoon All,

I am after some long finger summer gloves for the road bike and was wondering what people would recommend ?.

My hands are sweating with the recent temp increase and thought I might as well get some now with the hope of better weather to come

Thanks

just get some fingerless, but if you really don't like fingerless try some light mtb gloves.

Summer mitts are not for warmth. They protect the palms of your hands if you fall (real important - road rash on hands HURTS) and provide a bit of extra comfort on the bars.

Fingerless with mesh backs will still get sweaty but its worth it for the protection.

Longs will be way too hot quite soon (I hope).

I saw some spesh bg gloves which were marked up as road gloves really thin full finger.

I will pop down there on Monday and take a look.

Hi there,
I've got a pair of halfords own full finger gloves - they might not be the thinnest possible (I think that honour will go to mtb/bmx racing gloves) but they are very light and dextrous as well as they have a flannel side for wiping sweat from your brow.

I might get a pair like these love/hate gloves as I've seen them in the shop and they're pretty thin. These Odyssey gloves are the thinnest I have seen so far (also thinking about buying myself.)I must say there are a lot of different gloves stocked by my local Evans Cycles I'd hope that it's the same elsewhere in the country.

I have Specialized BG gel long finger summer gloves. They've been good too me, nice padding and my hands have never been too sweaty.

I'll probably be getting some Castelli Rosso Corsa short finger gloves soon.

+1 for Specialized full fingered. I've got a pair of XC lite and they're great in summer, spring and autumn. I even use them as a liner under my winter gloves for extra warmth, they're that thin. They don't have padding on the palms, but I find that more comfortable most of the time, as IME, padded palms tend to be biased towards MTB and all the squidgy bits are in the wrong place for road riding. Maybe I've just got odd hands.

Cheap as (a few bags of) Chips.

No such thing.

I don't agree.

I use Specialized Equinox gloves, ok for when the weather is milder, they're marketed as Spring gloves I think.

I occasionally wear Endura Full Montys in the summer, there classed as summer long finger gloves. I've got an older pair without the red stripe. Edit link Added

another option is to wear whatever fingerless mitts you like and add in some liner gloves. I'm currently wearing these under my mitts:-

I don't know how they'll be when it gets warmer but they are very thin and light. They also mean very soft bits for nose wiping and you can easily remove them to revert to fingerless as need be. They machine wash no problem and seem robust. Mine have had about 40 wears and 20 washes so far and held up fine.

I also use the specialized xc lite long finger glove, they're really comfy.
