  • I'm after something to replace my Gore gloves which are ok, but the padding is thin, they stink and the quality is below-par for what I paid.

    Looking for something around £20 with plenty of cushioning.

  • This is £10 above your budget but they have excellent levels of padding: http://www.rapha.cc/pro-team-mitts

  • Thanks - I'll look into those all the same.

  • As worn by cuddles

  • These are better, but have longevity issues (the mesh covering the gel pads is a bit flaky). And they are not as readily available as I'd like.

    Still did not stop me from buying them when I see them.

  • I think cuddles knows which are better.

  • They look really good actually, those Izumis.

  • I use these & love them - I've not had a problem with them being flaky though. Just what are you doing to them?

    Riding.

  • You could try washing them every few weeks or so, FFS.

  • Thin padding, FTW.

  • I have 2 pairs, and rotate every week or so. Otherwise they smell like unclean hamster cages.

    I think my superDeathGrip® may be the issue where the mesh is concerned.

    The thickness of the padding and placement was the issue I had with the Spesh BG gloves mentioned above.

    Are gloves like saddles?

  • Gloves are not like saddles.

  • I don't wash my saddle. I don't wash my gloves.

    Gloves are like saddles in this sense.

  • I dont wash my padded shorts, why would i wash my padded gloves?

  • Gloves are like shorts?

  • I wouldn't want to put my hands in Balki's gloves.

  • or his shorts, FHL.

  • I wash my gloves and helmet pads every week. The Gore gloves just always stink. I think it's the fabric they're made of.

    I might just get some Keirin gloves for laffs

  • I wash my gloves and helmet pads every week. The Gore gloves just always stink. I think it's the fabric they're made of.

    Yes, they are made of gore.

  • Oysters?
    Oyster shots?
    Oyster bed?
    Molluscs?
    Molluscum?

  • Otherwise they smell like unclean hamster cages.

    Which made me think of this ...

    Spesh BG work fine for me - when I remember to put them on, but they're not super-padded.

  • I got some Trek ones in an LBS £1 bin for, um, £1 actually. they have a gel stuff under a pad of suede, made out of better stuff than £30-£40 661 & azonic gloves, lasted years of abuse. No idea what they are called though :s
