Tend to wear mitts as a rule, but after a couple of recent offs , brambles etc been thinking of some long finger summer gloves. Any recommendations? must have a gel pad in for comfort, and be around the £30 mark.

661 Raji’s are the best summer gloves by a country mile IMHO

Wear them til they fall to bits, buy another pair….

661 Raji’s Troy Lee XC are the best summer gloves for anything apart from winter by a country mile IMHO

Wear them til they fall to bits, buy another pair….

FTFY, my dear BinBins.

I Love Troy Lee XC’s as well Flashy dear boy. In fact I just bought yet another pair.

But for full on summer, when it’s proper hot and sweaty – all 3 days of it – you can’t beat the 661’s

Seriously…. Give ’em a try.

Didnt like my Troy Lee XC’s much. They fell apart really quick.

Royal Quantum is my current glove of choice.

Lizard Skins for me.

661 Raji for me

Royal signatures.

Bought 4 pairs of their 2011 editions, all still going strong even through winter!

Long time TLD XC fan here but agree they’re a bit clammy in properly hot weather. Used to wear the TLD Airs as well but tended to go through them a bit quickly.

Just got a pair of the Bliss minimalist gloves which seem like they may do the trick, super meshy backs and a nice fit.

If they last well then they’ll be my new summer glove,. if not, back to the TLD’s I guess.

Spec Body Geometry jobs for me, the ones with a thin back, Ridges I think. I like them.

Got some of the crane ones from a couple of bike events ago in aldi – comfy, and cheap!
