$100.00 | | Purchased At: | Kersten Wielersport | | Strengths: | Reasonably waterproof, warm | | Weaknesses: | Inner liner won`t let you in, crimps when washed | | Similar Products Used: | Hema Thinsulate gloves, Specialized MX-Pro Gloves (those I still like, but not too good in subzero temps) | | Bottom Line: | At first they fitted well, although I soon found out that I needed to take them off with care to make sure that the inner liner stayed withing the fingers.
After washing them in the washing machine they enden up crimped, and with an innerliner that prevented me from putting them om! With an 10mm Allen key (with angulated head, so not sharp) I struggled for half an hour to push the liner back in te fingerwells. In one fingerwell the liner was ripped by the force necessary to push the liner back in. Now I can put them on, but the fingerlength seems to short now, and too tight. That makes `m less warm, and not as supple when shifting and braking. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$50.00 | | Purchased At: | Evans Woking | | Strengths: | Good overall fit. Look good. Grip well and keep your hands warm. | | Weaknesses: | The sizes come up smaller than labelled and the fingers (especially the brake ones) are a bit too short.
The liner became detached on 2md use and I am strugling to get it back into all the fingers. What a pain can no one produce a lined glove that stays in place. | | Bottom Line: | I'll take them back to the shop for an exchange and hope for better luck on the next pair. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: January 11, 2004 | | Favorite Trail: | Still looking | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | wiggle | | Strengths: | Good construction, waterproof, nice grippy plams and fingers, don't make your hands too sweaty, look good | | Weaknesses: | Small sizes - I know I have big hands but I had to get XXL and the thumbs still felt a bit short. However, they given a bit with use and are comfy now. | | Similar Products Used: | First pair of winter gloves | | Bike Setup: | '97 Claud Butler hardtail - still going strong... | | Bottom Line: | I would recommend these as a winter/cold weather glove, perfect for cross country and damp british weather, but make sure they fit first. Fairly pricey (I thought) but you get a high quality product. I wanted a close fitting glove with enough grip and feel for my thumbshifters - these fit the bill nicely. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
