Bigman Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Right, recently it has been a tad cold up here in Uni land (my car froze up inside and out!) and my poor icle farmers hands are getting abit cold when riding, so i am looking at getting a set of gloves, i have looked at the XC-ting ones (As ben has them on sale) and like the fact that they have a thin palm, as i do not get along with thick gloves, i like to be able to feel the bars. Has anybody had experience with these gloves?Is there any others that you would recomend?ThanksAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) fox digit gloves!! now iv used them i wont use any others. iv used loads of models of 661 gloves and found that they werent very comfy or lasted bout 2 weeks, same with all the otheres iv tried but these babies are beasts. iv had them for like 5 months and theyre still well alive!! theyre pretty thin on the palm but have thicker bits exactly were needed. these are what i meanyou can also get them in black.

Joey B Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) I have had 5 pairs of the hebo gloves. You can probably tell i love them. Have also worn the XC-tings, still very nice but Hebo is where its at. Edited January 26, 2007 by fugigas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydon_peter Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 The 2005 661 Raji's I use have a really nice thin palm on them LINKThey are not too warm though as they have a mesh backing, there are other heavy duty 661 gloves on the market that should be warmer which have the same palm though so have a look for them!

Christophe' Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 adam , the race face xc gloves are alaways nice and thin but give an extra bit of warmth.http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=4624Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1rc Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 i would reccomend 661 comp gloves. They're simple but they have thin palms but are surprisingly warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 i would reccomend 661 comp gloves. They're simple but they have thin palms but are surprisingly warm.These gloves are OK, they are really uncomfertable at first, the little piping bits scratch your fingers but they are good and warm once bedded in.To hot for summer though, My next pair will be some more Fox Digit 2004s, they are the most comfy gloves I have worn and cost £14, check out www.stif.co.uk and buy them, you will not regret it!

matt rushton Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hi I bought some gloves from MRS (Malcome Rathmell Sport) The importer of montys for £8 and they are fairly thin but at the same time warm not too good for summer time but good for winter and for £8 you can't go wrong. Ask if you want to see some pictures of them.Matt Rushton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe b Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 If your bothered about the cold, don't get any XC-ting gloves; they're way too thin too insulate your hands .I just buy 99p woolly gloves from my local camping shop. They last a month or so and do the job, for me .Cheers,Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghetto Rider Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Latch onto the Thread.....Does anyone know if there are any gloves designed to stop calaysis? I get real bad pain at the bottom of my fingers on the blisters. I ride without gloves but people keep telling me to wear gloves and it'll be ok and others say gloves will make it worse!? Any ideas?
