dadof2 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 https://www.justgloves.co.uk/Work-Gloves/Assembly-Line-Gloves/Skytec-Basalt-R-Gloves Although not intended for trialling these gloves are very comfortable and give a good grip on the bars. Hardwearing also. This is not a "for sale" post. I have no connection with the link at all. I just happened to come across the gloves at a company that supplies and maintains equipment at roadworks / quarries etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyc21 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I know at least one rider that likes them and has used them in the past, however for him it's usually a cheap fallback glove for wet weather or if his preferred glove gives out during an event. Havent tried them myself so can't give any opinion on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I've used similar before, but prefer Mechanix gloves for wearing for a long time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucey Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I wear muddy fox mountain biking gloves. £12 from sports direct. Again, I have no association with sports direct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trapezeartist Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 +3 for Mechanix, though I don't have experience of anything else. But at about £5 a pair, what's not to like? Those other gloves look like gardening gloves. I used them when crewing on fast skiff dinghies. I think I was paying €1 per pair and they were far better than the £25 sailing gloves. Brilliant grip when hauling on a skinny bit of spinnaker sheet. I considered them for trialling but thought the grip may be too good. What if I want to slide my hand on the twistgrip?

trapezeartist Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I think I may have got that wrong. I bought mine in Homebase and I thought I remembered them about that price, but I've just looked and they're £14 now. https://www.homebase.co.uk/mechanix-utility-large_p395818 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
