Gloves for under £30

rodgers73

I've had some Endura bog standard £15 gloves for about 6 months and they seem to have gone a bit baggy. They're rubbing on my hands and causing me some pain after a moderate length ride.

I'm a bit disappointed by this really. Can anyone recommend a decent replacement for under £30? They're all starting to look the same to me!

Thanks

I've used Chiba mitts for the last few years. Why? They're comfy, not too much padding so it doesn't gather under your palms & thumbs, and they have finger hooks to get them off with - a lot of mitts don't. And the LBS just down the road from the in-laws sells them so it's a good excuse to pop in when we go up there.

They look good.

Only £12 at SJS Cycles.

They are good. I've done centuries & blasts to work and all things in between and hands are never an issue with these. £12 seems about the going rate at the mo, looking on that LBS site.

Have been using Knog Salutes the last few wet rides I've had,
for the £9.99 I paid on eBay I am very happy.
Well made & nicely padded (gel?) palms.

Yes, I have a pair of the Spesh mitts and they have been very good, even when absolutely sodden. They get washed every week (@30 deg) and have been fine with that.

Have a poke around in Road Buying Advice too as this comes up a few times, e.g.,

There is a thread on this at the moment on road buying advice. For under £30 I would look at Prendas.co.uk. Well regarded and no velcro straps which I hate!

Velcro - invention of the devil.. :evil:

Closely followed by any glove I have tried with a gel pad - it always feels as if I have an india rubber in between my hand and the bar.

I'm still going strong on the first of three pairs for a tenner I got from Prendas
