Depends what you mean by summer, and what you want from them.
I've just picked up a pair of these "tactical" gloves in preparation for summer proper.

No, not bike gloves, but they have hard knuckles not for wing mirrors and more padding on the palms than my "bike" gloves. The back of the glove is textile (Nomex, apparently) and very cool. Also, they're brown, a gentleman's colour.
My intended use is for sunny day suburban / urban commutes, mostly done at little more than pushbike speeds. I'd look elsewhere for hooning mitts. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I have a pair of weise Streetfighter gloves. Comfy, no lining to pull out, fabric panels to allow air circulation and leather where it's needed. They are very short but the wrist fastening is pretty secure.
Not even slightly waterporoof and don't pretend to be.
I suspect the elastic will go round the cuff eventually but I think they were worth the money.
Sizing is totally fucked-up. I'm on like 3XL and I take a size 8 1/2 glove so try them on first. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |
