gene
and i did a search looked 2 pages back and couldn’t see any threads DEVOTED to gloves so here one is, haters gonna hate
Wiggle | Castelli Lightness Full Finger Glove - 2011 Winter Gloves
I have the previous model, I think theyre much the same. Ive used them alot, nothing I could critisize them for.
golf gloves for track, if you want particular track gloves. no shit. calloway or something. a lot of folks use them. i tend to just use road gloves on the track - you come to appreciate the extra padding at lap 90 of a 100 lap motorpace.
specialized for road. i’ve had about 6 pairs now. comfy as hell.
if you’re looking for winter gloves, the ones with ‘deflect’ (whatever that is) are good.
or you could just put washing up gloves on over your regular gloves. nothing will be more waterproof. i’ve seen it done!
Short finger, so just for reference: I have a pair of these: Wiggle | Sugoi RS Short Finger Cycling Glove Short Finger Gloves
They’re shit. Very comfortable, but build quality = not good. Stitching is coming apart after two weeks, nice material in between fingers is unravelling, top of hand material is getting ripped apart by velcro on messenger bag and jacket cuffs. Highly not recommended.
and going on the short finger bandwagon i know at little pricey at $80 but i just got the rahpa pro gloves (the non leather ones) and damn they’re comfy.
For long do you want gel pads or anything? I’ve noticed a few stores around melbourne at the moment have some good sales on, saw a set of cannondale full fingers for $35 that looked the goods, no frills but not as chunky as most long fingered gloves i’ve come across.
And i know people on FOA to snad by specialized defeets.
Rapha pro team glove is ace that’s been my every day glove this winter!

Those are on the menu, but probably not until next year, link to the survey? i’m in the market for some of their kit.
I personally love oakley factory gloves, they are cheap, you wear them out then cut the fingers off for summer.
And they look rad.

nice i love the merino in winter some times every thing i’m wearing other than jeans is merino, i have 10 pairs of deMarchi merino socks i wear every day all year round…
At $18 you can’t beat these DeFeet gloves!
DeFeet DuraGloves (Prendas Custom Version) by DeFeet - Prendas Ciclismo
There’s always the Prendas at <$25 too
Prendas Super Roubaix Gloves - Prendas Ciclismo
I’ve had a few pairs of the sugois. I wouldn’t say they were shit, I haven’t ever had any stitching failure but the synthetics on the palms don’t last, especially if they get wet. I keep buying them because I find 'em super comfy and grippy but you’re right they’re not durable. Sort of like the Veloflex Record of gloves, IMO.
oh and gene, if you’re still desperate, i’ll give you josiah’s number next time i see you.
