Hi, just wondering if anyone could offer me any advice as to which of these 3 gloves would be the best purchase, they all cost roughly the same price (give or take a quid or two) and seem to get quite favorable customer reviews so i just thought i'd see what the opinion was on this forum.

Im riding to work and back every day plus some very light "off roading" at the weekends every once in a while, just want something without fingers thats comforatable with padding and that wont fall apart in a month, budget around £15. I'm quite new to biking so any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks .

    Value for money, well madet and hard wearing.

    Cannot comment on the others but I have had gel gloves in the past, hated them and gave them away, only to have them retrurned with thanks but no thanks.

    The Specis are absolutely nice.
    Consider Roeckl and Gore as well if available.

    I have so many gloves I am thinking of opening a shop!! I also just bought the new Giro Zero gloves yesterday although I have yet to try them out.

    Unfortunately I do not have any of the gloves you mentioned.

    What I do advise though is that you go to your LBS and try on as many as you can. Yesterday the LBS I was at had just had a new delivery of numerous Giro, Bontrager and P. Izumi gloves. I tried them nearly all on and each is a little different. Best just to try.
