Anyone tried these:

The last two pairs of mitts I have bought have been a mistake.

Specialised BG mitts had seams on the pressure points resulting in callouses.

Mavic leather mitts have ripped on the palm.

I back to wearing the Pearl Izumi mitts I bought about 6 years ago. Even with the scuffs and minor holes they are still better than the other 2 pairs.

    I'm going through a similar process.

    My very old but still comfy Spesh BG mitts were looking a bit tatty and didn't match my current kit.

    Bought some Grip-Grab ones with my last Wiggle order but there seems to be too much material / padding and it bunches uncomfortably when I grip the bars. Maybe I need a smaller size? (went for large after reading their size chart) Maybe go for something with minimal padding? Possibly another BG pair??

    I should really buy from a bike shop so I can try them on.

    Back to the old ones for now...

    I used to have them. Comfy, stretchy, almost no padding, very little gravel rash protection as the material is so lightweight. An almost carbon copy used to be available branded Prendas for less.

    I use them and have no complaints, no uncomfortable seams etc not too padded, have held up to being washed again and again and still look like new after 12month+ of use.

    Thanks. Sounds good.
