New Gloves

Treated myself to a pair of these. I need something between summer gloves and winter gloves. These seem to tick all of the boxes. They're warm, waterproof and have decent protection. Not bad for the price either.

I'll try them out tomorrow and see how I get on with them.

They look very similar to Spada Enforcers (though perhaps a bit lighter). This is a good thing. (y)

Proper test on both rides today. Gloves stayed dry. Very comfortable. Not as warm as winter gloves but pretty good.

I'm impressed.

I think they're better than my Alpinestars, which were twice the price.

Haha!! If only we could all buy the right stuff first time round...it would certainly of saved me a hell of a lot of money in the past haha!!
I got a pair of 3 finger gloves from Hein gerick very good gloves, fully waterproof and pretty warm for the cold weather but impractical for those slightly warmer days and faster rides...these RSTs sound perfect for this time of year and do much better than the horrid bone dry things that call themselves gloves..,I passed my test on those on the most horriblist day imaginable and I literally got soaked from head to toe and those gloves I squeezed while at traffic lights just for it to be like a tap...gushing with water!! Should
