Which Fingerless gloves...

I just go to one of the big sites, often Merlin as I've found their service to be fantastic and filter to size and colour then sort to cheapest. I find that gloves don't last long, a few offs, caught passing brambles, a few dropped chains or puncture covering them in muck. You don't feel so bad when they go to the bin. It is not an item that I can justify more than £30 including P&P on. Currently rocking a Decathlon set which were marketed as a windsurfing glove. They looked good though and my previous Shimano set I did not like as they had those foam pads around the palm area that I was keen to get away from. I've had fingerless gloves from Lidl too, they were meh. I'm interested to hear if others drop a lot of cash on gloves and hear the benefits.

Just look on Galibier.cc and choose the ones within budget

Or Gripgrab

I’ve got Rapha, Galibier, Specialized, Pedal Mafia and Gore.  The Gore ones are by far the best.  Their stitching is in the right place making them comfortable, their sizing is spot on, their snot wipe is on the finger and the thumb, not one or the other and there are tabs between the fingers to pull them off.  I think they’re a Velcro cuff, which may not be for everyone.  The pedal mafia ones are pretty good, comfy, breathable, but no finger snot wipe and no tabs between fingers to get them off, but they’re an elastic cuff, so better suited for many.

Another vote for Gripgrab.

cheap, comfortable and they seem to last quite well :o)

Some nice black leather ones with studs on the back/knuckles. Or maybe some lace fingerless gloves a la Prince.

joking (or am I?) aside, I’ve always had good luck with Gore ones.  My wife’s Gire ones had sensible little things like loops to help pull them off, snot wipe in right places. Mine are donkeys years old and hers are almost as old but get far more use than mine.

Specialized grail, the padding filling in the low points insted of padding the high points of the palm, just  works better and I am realy suprised everyone isn't now doing it.

I tried Grail gloves and hated them...

My gloves tend to fail first in the fingertips, they get cut off to provide fingerless as required.

Galibier Air something or other, but size up

that don’t make me look like a roadie FKW

Surely you can only be a full kit ****er if your gloves match the rest of your kit? Just get some that clash and you'll be fine 😉

Endura or Gore for me, although I only wear fingerless on the road bike and full finger on the MTB.

The last pair of Endira mitts I bought were very fragile

I like my Endura Humvee's, though my current pair have stitching that fraying, I thought I haven't had these long... only since 2019 apprently.  Thats seems worth the £20 for a new pair

The Endura Mighty Mitts I purchased not so long back started to fall apart within about 2 weeks. Not a patch on the previous versions I had.
