gloves

[azfiddle]

I haven't had the best luck with my cycling gloves. The best pair I had got lost, didn't love the fit of the last 2 pairs and the stitching started coming off of the edge along the wrist near the velcro closure. So today I went to two shops and tried on about all the gloves I could find - probably 12 different styles from 6 brands!

I finally found a pair that seemed to fit me perfectly- Serfas Rx gloves. However, I was completely perplexed by two ribbon loops sewn between the fingers . That is, until I tried to take them off! It is a handy design feature that allows you to hook your fingers into the loops to pull the glove off of your hand. I don't think they have this brand on TE- but here is a link to them:

I picked them for the fit but once I figured out the purpose of the ribbons, I thought they were quite clever.

That's a great idea. I hate it when the fingers go inside out, making it impossible to put back on without a lot of effort.

I love those ribbons, my short fingered Gore gloves have those - makes it every so much easier to get out of them!

Brilliant!
