Which Gloves in warm weather

[jethro10]

In winter, big padded gloves.

But in summer what do most MTB'ers wear?
Thinner full fingered jobs, or what is perceived to be more road style I guess, fingerless
I find I'm fingerless, but get a bit too much rub.
I'm scared to go full fingered cos of over heating

I am a bit of a skinflint and have two pairs of ASDA Bell gloves. One pair is intact, the other has the fingers cut off.

I wear specialized bg gel full finger (most comfortable gloves i've had) or 661 raji even in the summer, dont have problems overheating compared to just wearing mitts. Have even taken to even wearing full finger when on the road bike in the summer.

I used Aldi's fingerless gel gloves until I lost them out of my back pocket a few weeks ago - replaced them with Endura Mighty Mitts.

Full finger leather gardening gloves. I look a dork, and they are warm, but I don't get cut by brambles on my hands any more.... Plus they are dead cheap! Fingerless gloves are a bit too roadie for me, and every cycling specific glove I've ever had falls apart after a few months.

In any weather that won't cause my fingers to drop off, I use Santini fingerless road gloves on an MTB.

Similarly, in cold weather I use gert big thick, lovely, toasty padded, insulated MTB gloves in cold weather on my road bike.

They look so cool I decided to get a pair (rainbow coloured )

I have found that all three of my mitts (Aldi, Altura, no-name market stall pecials) have a seam that runs between my thumb and forefinger, leaving a blister on the webbing after about half an hour of technical stuff. I got a freebie pair of thin full-fingered gloves by Kona, and whaddaya know? No seam, no blisters. Cubesters 661 gloves are the same... thin, light, no blisters.

So, long distance, not much gear-changing or wrestling the bars, fingerless,

technical, lots of gear changing and wrestling, full fingered Kona freebie thingies.

I'm with Cubist - the main area for attention is the bit between thumb and forefinger. For the same reason, I like thin full fingered gloves rather than fingerless, even in summer. The fingerless ones always end up getting wrinkled and chafe the base of my thumbs.

I received my pair this morning. Very good quality but be aware the sizes are very small. I ordered XL and the mitts only just fitted!!

God help your palms if you have even a low speed spill.

+1 for the 661 gloves

+1 for trying them on first; I'm not a big bloke, but in Evan's the other day I put on a pair of XL gloves and struggled to get them off again.
