Summer gloves

Post by matt2matt2002 »

Any thoughts on light weight Summer gloves?
I do touring - not mountain biking.
My winter gloves are getting too hot.

Fingerless when it's warm enough.

Extremities Thicky Sticky Gloves (Cotswold Outdoor, Field & Trek etc). I like them 'cos they have sticky palm/fingers so you don't lose grip but they're not windproof so they breathe quite well. Perfect for this time of year. Once it gets warmer then trackmitts are fine.

I wear thin cotton gloves inside a pair of trackmitts. They work fine on cold mornings and if it warms up I remove them and just wear the mitts.
(I got 3 pairs for £1 at Asda)
