I was over in the FoD on Sunday, enjoying some parental obligation MTB, using the brand new Dakine Defender gloves I’d got in the post, gloves I needed after writing off my previous set in a somewhat dramatic wipeout in the Brecons the week before.

And I managed to lose them! I took them off while taking off a layer, and assume I left them on the ground, and only noticed a bit further along, on the return leg.

I didn’t see them when I redid the circuit, and nobody has handed them in.

Did anyone find a pair?

I’m sad not just because the gloves were new, but because they don’t appear to make them any more, and I managed to track down what appeared to be last pair listed on sale online. If anyone knows a bike shop with an XL pair for sale, I’d be grateful for that too
