These are great gloves, they're lightweight, dry quickly, and importantly; nice and plain.

These are the latest version.

Why do they have to muck about with them? I liked them the way they were. Grrrrr, just leave stuff alone.

More to the point, why do companies feel the need to fiddle when they have a good product? Plenty of times I think I've found the perfect product, only to find when I go to buy another that they've "improved" it.

Its so they can sell them to people who want this years. No profits unless you sell unneeded things to people, unless you build your business round a sustainable model

I think [i]exactly[/i] the same about Shimano DX shoes...

Grey/Black: nice, understated, functional.

White: WTF is this? Golfing wear for Imperial Stormtroopers?

Its what the design team get paid for - they often have to prove their worth by the number of new sku's they design each season and hence its the easy way to boost the overall product offer - take a proven style/colour/design option and make minimal tweaks with fabric / graphics and re-release on an unsuspecting consumer

I presume German keyboards come without a shift key?
