I prefer to ride gloveless, but really struggling to find grips that are grippy when wet (with no gloves). Thinking a better solution would be some gloves but most I find annoying and remove the nice positive connection to the bike... although all better than wet hands and gloves.
Or recommendations for grippy when wet grips.
Thank you in advance
Decathlon do a pair of glives with no padding whatsoever.
I don't like wearing gloves either but there are okay.
They look like a copy of a pair of fox gloves i now only have one of.
I've got a pair of unpadded Castelli neoprene gloves that I find work really well in wet weather.
https://www.wiggle.co.uk/defeet-e-touch-dura-gloves-1/ are very close to 4 season gloves, can be used as a liner in bitter cold.
I've got Renthal ultra-tacky slip on grips and I regularly ride gloveless. It's hard to imagine a gripper grip.
Thank you for all the suggestions, very useful. Thanks
Im the same as you... I hate gloves! I was running the Fabric semi ergo grips last year all year and never had any problems in rain, Sleat or snow. I've given the magic mushroom ones ago this time and I'm really impressed with the grip and vibration damping on them.
Are you wanting long finger gloves or mitts?
Fox flexair
Troy Lee xc
Garneau ditch for me...
poc
Galbier do a nice light pair
Golf gloves for the win for me really thin really grippy.
Dmr deathgrips race day compound but not long lasting enough to justify the cost.
Troy Lee Ace are very lightweight, enough that stingers still sting!
Thank you again, really appreciate all the glove/grip reconditions.
What is it you don't like about gloves ? I sometimes use a pair of sailing gloves which have cut off thumb/first finger for tactile brake/gears but long fingers on the other three fingers which helps bramble rash 👍
It's the sightly less connected feel, there's just a bit of movement between hand/glove/grip. I will ride with gloves sometimes and always in winter, but it just feels so much better without.
Fox Rangers are super thin on the palm.
I have a pair of Dakine Thrillium gloves which are great and super lightweight. Thin goat leather palm gives loads of grip and still feels really tactile. Like a second skin.
