Road cycling gloves recommendations
I recently had to replace my PI gel lite gloves because they were pretty nasty. I thought they worked fine, so I bought a new pair of PI gel lite gloves that have a slightly different design. I've used these probably 10 times and have found that these new ones feel thin and flimsy. There's barely any gel padding at all! Anyway, I'm wondering what gloves people use around here? Any recommendations? I would like something a little more padded and a little thicker in the palm region, but also something that breathes well.
I noticed that some of the gloves that have leather palms look more padded - is this the case? Thanks!
Roadie gloves - still looking for the best
I've tried the Descente which have good gel cover across palm but the synthetic leather disintegrated after 12-15 wears and a few gentle hand washes. Agree with the Pearl Gel Lite comments... not for me.
Looking for a tough half finger glove that can handle commuting with hands on hoods, fingers close to brake levers going over bumps a lot. Need a good solid thumb gusset and gel all the way to the thumb edge which is why the descente's were good. It's mighty hot here in sunny Qld so maybe the Louis Garneau M-Vents or the Air Stream - are they new? Any suggestions/experiences appreciated.
