62.00 euros for  a set of handguards when, y'know gloves exist seems a bit; cart before horse.

Sincere non-snarky question- has anyone found a glove that fends off gorse and bramble thorns without being a hellish heat swamp for their hands?

I love the ease of use of Dynaplug but availability of refills is awful.

Currently showing as out of stock everywhere including the Dynaplug UK site and no due date.

Both links in the article above are out of stock as well btw

I could spend £25 on a pack of 5 on Amazon but that's more than a complete entry level kit (if you can find one that is in stock in the UK)

I know, I know,  not enough capitals and spellings for a singletrack standard whinge. 😅

Some Japanese Keirin gloves have carbon knuckle armour. Trouble is, Japanese hands are far smaller than mine. So that's not a useful option.

Hand guards! Get some decent gloves and man/woman up!

Got enough stuff on my handle bars already, gears, brakes, bell, dropper post lever, light fitting (when required). Those handguards look like they were built by a bloke in a shed who is into post-modernist industrial design, ugly!

Anyone with an inkling as to where and when I can get new dynaplug inserts? Short of picking them up in France in a couple of weeks they seem to be totally missing from the country.
