Hi,

At the moment I have some Endura Mighty Mitt's which are ok but looking for something a bit more padded. All I can find with a gel type padding is the Specialized one's, are there any other brands they make a nice gel padded glove ?

Simon.

    I've tried the Endura, Specialized and Assos. All were fairly decent but all fell short of the Altura Pro Gel.

    Altura Pro Gel:

    They have to be the comfiest mitts I have ever owned, the padding is absolutely spot on (for me anyway)

    I've got a pair of Cannondale mitts with gel pads in the palms, really comfy. a bit pricey though.

    Specilized BG mitts are the comfiest I've used and they last a long time as well even the cheaper end of their range.

    Castelli make some mitts with big areas of gel padding. Probikekit.com have a few different ones.

    +1 on the Altura mitts -- very comfy but without interfering too much with the 'feel' of the bars.

    Specialized BG ones stopped my wife losing control of her fingers die to vibration/nerve damage last year.

    It was that or a less harsh riding frame - gloves are cheaper.

    I love Assos kit but not their gloves. Campag for me - very good.

    Recently got some of these from CRC

    The equal of Spesh BG ones, which I had previously and fell apart after a year, and less than half the price. Bargain.

    Edit: oops just noticed they were obviously too much of a bargain and had sold out.

    Im on the search for some new mitts, but i need XXL sizing.
    Tried the Specialized BG Pro mitts and they seem ok.
    Tend to do a lot of riding with my hands on the hoods, so need padding round my thumb.

    Other sore point is the saddle, but thats a different thread 8)
