| | Glove Recommendations? I'm looking to get a new set of gloves as I have shredded/sweated mine to pieces and they're just pretty nasty. I'm looking at something like these: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...x?ModelID=9516 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...?ModelID=16549 As I know clipping a tree on bmx/mtb hurts a lot and I'm applying that same logic to car mirrors, etc that cut you up. My only problem is my hands sweat like a beast. Can anyone recommend a good set (doesn't have to be anything like those above)? Thanks |

 | Saw someone at South London Beers with these:  I remember them being quite light, plus white for summer is nice. It's still going to get hot though. http://www.hubjub.co.uk/njs/zmdefense.htm |

 | I am the owner of the Ianabe gloves. Only available in white from Hubjub. It took me 2 years to have the courage to wear them. Bonkers looking but very comfortable and not sweaty. Carbon knuckles are very useful for reminding drivers they are to close etc. With good technique you can probably punch out a window. |

| | The only problem with those lanabe is that they cost £75... but they look like beasts. enough for moto-x probably, but yes, that was one reason why I like the carbon bits, just not sure how that was going to go down. They are pimtacular at hitting thigns and you don't feel a thing, I've wailed on a brick wall in them and didn't feel anything and clipped my little finger on a tree doing god knows how fast on my BMX, (unfortunately not wearing those gloves at the time so it just hurt). |

| | Full fingered gloves in the summer? Errrrrm, okay... If you're concerned you're going to hit your hands that frequently on cars to buy full fingered gloves, perhaps time to consider riding slightly further from cars? And leather? Isn't that going to be very sweaty? I wouldn't know; I don't wear leather. My Endura ones were good last summer, still using them now although they've developed a hole between two of my fingers. |
