Where are the 2011 gloves already?

[Jezston]

So it's pretty much warm enough for fingerless, and it's about time I replaced the already knackered Sports Direct Dunlop cheapos with something decent, and I start browsing Wiggle.

See something I like the look of a lot:

Oh wait these ones are kind of cool:

Anyone able to recommend some nice 'retro'-esque pref dark brown well padded small fingerless gloves?

A touch of luxury perhaps?

Oh blimey!

I had tried the Alturia's at the weekend, but wasn't sure about the tan colour. Seemed a bit odd to be wearing flesh-coloured gloves! (not that I am terribly tan at the moment). Would prefer a darker colour to err compliment my skin tone.

Clandy: *slow handclap*

Albeit I don't want to make a habit of it but I've come off the bike and mits have provided that vital barrier between me and the road, I don't think I'd want a £101 barrier

Cut it out Clandy. I'm after recommendations, not sarcasm.

The only sarcasm I can see in this thread is your 'slow handclap'. I was genuinely trying to be helpful, but don't worry, I won't make that mistake with you again.

You seriously think that someone asking for recommendations, and you posting a link to a google search of cycling gloves isn't going to come across as at least rather patronising? You not familiar with people posting google links as a sarcastic response to what they consider lazy requests?

I am not accustomed to trying to help people and being slapped in the face with a sarcastic reply and rudeness, no. But as I said, it will not happen with you again.
