Review
I've put these gloves through some pretty ridiculous riding conditions ranging from 40c to 8c in the pouring rain and gloves are by far the best I've worn. The wiper blade on the left thumb is a excellent addition to a truly waterproof glove. The fit and finish is outstanding and the safety features incase of the rider leaving the bike will save your hands. I really like the black and hi-viz colour combination, excellent for traffic to see your hand signals, and other riders if you are in a group.
