Gloves- recommendations?

I got some new gloves just after xmas. Went to 3 bike shops and got little to no service in any of them (2 of them with good reputations too). In only 1 store I got a hello and can I help you, after saying I was after gloves, I was waved towards a backwall where there was maybe 4 different models and none in my size (cant blame them for that tho - I wear XXXL). And didnt see a pair under $45 in any store. I knew my size in fox gloves so went to CRC ordered gloves, new grips, and a couple tubes, delivered for $45.

I just look on Chain reaction Cycles for anything that is fairly cheap,$20 or less when reduced.I have used Endura and liked them alot but also have a few pairs of Royal gloves which are cheaper but still good quality

+1 for the specialized gloves

I have been using them for years. Now they have that wire tap finger thing so you don't have to take you glove off if you need to use you touch screen phone

I just bought the Specialized BG Gel and Spec winter (I think deflect?) gloves. I've always liked spec gloves. My only complaint with the Spec winter ones is the cuff doesn't have a velcro flap so they can be tight getting on and off otherwise all good. The new ones have "wire technology" meaning you are meant to be able to operate your smart phone without taking them off but I haven't tested them.

Between thumb and forefinger make sure it's a soft felt type material especially for these cold mornings

The Fox sidewinder gloves have been ridden well and are my favorite glove.
Bought in May 06. They have only just started to fail, when I pushed a pinkie through the top of the finger.
By no means am I finished with these yet!
There is no padding on the palms but they are very comfortable and grip is great,
The stiff rubbery material around the wrist works a treat when resting the hands.

Another +1 for the Spec BG gloves - I have a pair I use all the time and I like the protection the padded palms give between the bars and my delicate hands!

The seam between the thumb/snot wipe section and the main glove body came undone on one of them after 12 months but a $5 repair job at the local clothing alteration place has solved the issue.

My only beef is they changed the fingertip design this year no more wrap-over fingertips That was my favourite thing about the design, no seams invading under your fingernails!

I've just bought a pair if these and highly rate them. They're warm but still let your hands breathe and the gel pads have cleared up the pins and needles I got in my fingers after riding for over an hour. The only thing I would change on them is there is no towelling on the back of the thumbs for wiping a runny nose!

from the new hunter bikeworx on hilsborough. only $30 i think and nice and comfortable

I buy my gloves from a motorbike shop they have a large range in both mens and womens designs and sizes and usually cheaper plus they have lots of colours
