But they are on their last legs (or should that be fingers) after years of abuse *bursts into tears at the memories*
So I need a replacement pair… basically as similar to these as poss, I love the chrome leather knuckle plates, the index finger and thumb snot wipes and the suede palms (at least I think they are suede). Warm enough in winter and cool enough in summer (though they could be clasified as a sentient lifeform if they went too long between washes 😛 )
My gorgeous girlfriend is stumping up the dosh as my birthday pressie… budget is about £30 😉
My riding is AM/GE so I need a glove with some protection but thats not to heavy for climbing, doesn’t need to be the latest must have older models are fine..
I’ve always got on well with Troy Lee gloves and they seem to last for ages. My TLD XC gloves had to finally be binned this year…I bought them in 2005! The only reason I got shot was because the Velcro cuffs wouldn’t do up properly an more. My TLD air gloves have lasted well too.
Absolutely love my 2010 661 Raji’s – gotta stash of 3 pairs in the bottom of my draw – aiming for a pair a year! Didnt like the later versions but sure they’re just as good.
As much as I love Sombrio gear I don’t rate their gloves. I’m current using some Answer ones that are comfy but not had them long so can’t comment on how they last. I have friends with the Troy Lee XC gloves and they seem to last for years and years.
