*Just a bit of an update...
I went for a short ride during the week to try out the new gloves.
The fingers of the gloves were quite stiff and it was actually quite awkward pulling the clutch in and also wrapping my fingers around the handlebar grip.
I had expected this to a certain extent while things bedded in to my hand shape so I'd given the gloves a good dose of dubbin to help things soften the night before.
Anyhow, this had got a little easier by the time I'd gotten home but it was still quite uncomfortable.
Fast forward to yesterday and with the weather gods smiling, I decided to head out for another longer ride with plenty of stops involving taking the gloves off & on.
By the time I got home the gloves had softened considerably and now were feeling quite comfortable.
So, my impressions so far...They are a quality glove, they fit my hands well with the length of the fingers pretty much suiting my fingers to a tee. Much better than other gloves I own. (For those with extra long or short stumpy fingers "Held" do offer the same gloves with different length fingers as an extra cost option.)
Warmth wise they were toasty but being a fairly mild day (18-19c) it was hard to say how they would be on a cold day but with my hands being slightly sweaty when I removed the gloves I think they'll be plenty warm enough when the weather is chilly.
For these rides so far I have been was using the "warm" part of the glove...I'm yet to use the "summer" section to see how ventilated that part is...
I guess I'll find out soon enough as Summer draws closer...
Cheers
