    Looking for new full fingered gloves for de dirt

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Just looking for some new gloves as mine are getting on in age.

    I currently use Specialized BG gloves, like the padding and would like something very similar to them. They can't be too heavy or too light and must be full fingered. TE ones seem to be all wintry focused...

    I don't want anything but black or grey. For example, these ones look ok but I don't do pink of any sort http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodPI_8593.html

    What about these ones??? http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodSB_7772.html

    If you can help me with this quest, i'd be a happy camper.

    I am on this quest too

    I saw a very nice pair of Gore gloves and didn't buy them because they where only black and white - so maybe they are for you

    On the Gore homepage I can only see those:

    In the store they also had a pair of simple black ones with very little white detailing on the knuckles. They fit well and had good ventilation.

    I also tried some pairs of Specialized but I can't remember if they had them in darker colors - I just remember baby-blue ones.

    I liked a lot of the Fox models but they had no padding whatsoever and I'm not sure if I could get along with this. They had a quite small mens-glove in black and white too (the womens versions where all pink or white).

    I like the Fox full fingered gloves for riding - I wear them for both on and offroad. There isn't a lot of padding, but they work for the racing and riding that I do. I'll see if I can find a link somewhere...

    These are my favorite all around Fox gloves. In fact, now that I see they are on sale, I might have to get some

    I haven't had luck on the Fox gloves, the sizing and my hands/fingers haven't found a good match. I have these and like them so far:

    I'm liking Giro's offerings, they have women's specific and more and less padded ones as well, and colors to match your preferences.
