Sod lightweight gloves, why don’t more manufacturers do ones with decent finger and knuckle protection? There were loads to choose from a few years ago, now they all seem to have gone ultra minimalist.

A lot of the trails I’ve ridden lately are disappearing under brambles, nettles and bracken, and gloves the thickness of tissue paper aren’t helping the comfort situation at all.

Intersting.. I’m not even going to consider any glove where the leather palm doesn’t extend around the tip of the fingers, so POC wins by default… There are always sales on so £42 can be beaten.

On Madison’s Alpine gloves, the palm suede does wrap right around the finger tips on the index & middle finger so no issues with bursting the seams. Silicon gripper all round too for braking.
