I mis-interpreted what gloves were required, I thought it was for gardening, or trail maintenance, not riding!
I used to wear a pair of Oakley Factory Pilot gloves, with carbon knuckle protectors; proved very effective when riding one of those ‘cycle lanes’ which is just a dotted line alongside a road, put there to slow traffic down, and one car just stopped for no reason. It was actually over the line, with me in the gutter, and my knuckles slammed the door mirror back against the door frame with a bang. My knuckles were unmarked, not sure how well the mirror survived, but I didn’t care.
These are virtually identical, but a fraction of the price:

My Factory Pilots served me well for years, still got them, a couple of the fingertips have worn through, but they’re great riding gloves, and the ones I linked to, for the money, have got to be a bargain.
Mine cost £35 probably 15-20 years ago, £13 or so has to be worth a punt, I’m tempted to buy a pair, and I don’t even ride these days!
