After some new gloves. I already have some super thick, waterproof/windproof winter gloves, just after some general riding gloves. At the moment I'm riding semi- DH stuff so jumps and stuff are being done so anything with some decent palm support I like the look of these 2: www.chainreactioncycles.com/troy-lee-designs-air-glove-2015/rp-prod110680www.chainreactioncycles.com/royal-victory-gloves-2014/rp-prod111881I had the Fox Unabombers which fell apart after a year or so, the Royal ones seem to be almost the same but have better reviews. IMO if I get a year out of gloves that's a good thing as I wear them all the time. Any one else got any other suggestions? preferably under £25 there or thereabouts. |

hahah same! although I think i'll play it safe and go for black. Most of my kit is black. Apart from my 5-10's have yellow laces so might go nicely with the green ones  |

Only slightly off topic. I got a heads up that ten were having a sale and needing a pair of MTB gloves I took a punt on these: www.tenn-outdoors.co.uk/rage-full-finger-glove-blackcyan-smlFor £3.99 I'm pretty pleased with them so today I've ordered another pair as spare. No serious protection on the back but ok for light MTBing and summer road use. |

Next pair for me are Royals me thinks. I'm loving their kit right now. They are tidy looking tbf but the TLD ones look sold and have consistently great reviews. |

Whatever you do dont buy endura, nice fit but totally lame weedy stitching, i recently tried on some Madison gloves that i reckon i'll buy next, alpine bikes sell em, although their website is quite shite, the shops have a much better range than the website and it also depends which branch you go to

Have 2 pairs, an Altura thermal pair for when the weather is being a right bastard and giving me cold hands, and a pair of Troy Lee's. I can't remember what model they are, but all I can tell you is they were white, they're now grey and they're the most comfortable, grippy gloves I've worm.

Cheers Kev, I did actually look at them but don't really know much about the brand, they look similar to the Royals and the Fox Unabombers. Just got some Unabombers - really like em! I really liked mine, I caned them for over a year and they were very comfy. However they seem a little bit more expensive for some reason.  |

Yes, pricey but got mine on offer from Leisurelakes. Great feeling glove though, just the right amount of protection in the right places (I am a serial tree clipper, my outside fingers usually resemble slices of pizza)

If I had a matching Jersey I would probs go for some 'loud' ones. plus if you're lying in a crumpled heap following a huge off, pink gloves would be easily spotted by a dog walker or stray cottaging gentleman lol! |
