Im after a new pair of long finger gloves that have a high cuff to them. Iv tried on a few pairs at my local shop so know my size but all the gloves iv tried when you hold the grips the cuffs feel too low on the rear of my palm does anyone know of any long cuffed gloves available?

  • Endura full monty's are comfortable and reasonable, never had the problem with the cuff thing and I have shovels for hands...
    Can't beat Troy Lee XC gloves for general riding IMO and Troy Lee GP gloves for DH usage. ;0)

    thanks for that mate, i ride motorbikes too and just prefer the longer cuff variants. Il see if anywhere local has the montys as they look like the ones im after.

    Mechanix gloves not specifically for riding but I have had a pair for years now tough as old boots and pretty near crash proof. Comfy grippy when its wet whats not to like.

    I got a few pairs of planet x gloves a couple of weeks ago - £5 per pair. High cuff, work great - winter only as fleeced lined. Technically for roadies but I had no issues with them on my MTB.

    Sombrio shinny gloves are £12 on chain reaction. Finding them good in these cool temps, and the cuff is a decent length. Really grippy.
