Hi All,

Has anyone used / got experience with the new range of Planet X gloves. I'm thinking specifically the flanders and the deluge gloves?

How weatherproof are they? What are they like for sizing?

thanks

    Got the standard ones for a fiver - good for that price. Warm enough except whens it gets close to freezing but not waterproof. Longevity may not be great but 3 or 4 times cheaper than others I was looking at! I was looking at the deluge recently too - looks a good buy.

    +1 really impressed with these. Be careful with the sizing, I'm usually a M in gloves but ended up with an XL. Size chart is way off.

    Flanders are good, sizing is about right compared to the chart, the cheap winter gloves are very small for the sizes though as I have a pair.

    I'm normally a medium but just about squeeze into the small! Can't comment on the bigger sizes.

    Hmmm, I might of fell victim to a 'dodgy batch' - went via the size chart and got a S, which were tiny. Then went for the M/L, they were just a bit bigger and still too small. Eventually got the XL which are better but still a 'snug' fit.

    quick update.

    Got them delivered with a couple of baselayers this morning! Having ordered them yesterday, excellent service. Haven't had a ride with them due to the snow and ice this morning in the north east! Sizing seems to be the same as described.
