I need some new finger less mitts for road use.
LBS has only a small selection. Evans have plenty but not in store - order and pick up in 2 days time. Looks like I'll have to order online. I want a nice padded pair. Presumably gel. Little finger loops are nice. Colour is unimportant. A nose wipe piece would also be nice. Price is unimportant for the right gear, but I don't want to pay stupid Rapha prices just to have the fashionable label.
Lots of threads on here that seem to go nowhere, so what are you all using?

Grip Grab's are my favourites. V. comfortable and the sizing is accurate.Summer - Giant Defy Composite 2 (Force 22) (retd)

Give these a try. Very good quality for the money ( I have a pair of each colour). They have a proper gel palm and also a small area in the centre with mesh in which work well in controlling sweaty palms! Also finger loops etc. Into second summer and All are wearing well with no fraying.0 -
assos s7 summer mitts, simply the best
oh, size UP!0 -
Either Galibier or Decathlon, Galibier's are easier to get on an off but I prefer the slightly longer cuff of the decathlons

I have Giro Strade Dure and I really like them.

Lots of nice padding, they never seem too hot, they've got little grabby bits for taking them off, and there's a bit of different fabric for wiping your conk.0 -

Another vote for these.
Stumbled on Giro gloves by chance, and now have 3 pairs, and one long finger version.
You'll be surprised to know all mine are black and yellow.
I also have some Bravo mitts, and a pair with leather palms, whose name escapes me.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

Isadore signature gloves. Not a huge amount of padding but the most comfortable gloves I've ever worn. A bit pricey but cheaper now that Wiggle stock them.0
