RST Pro Series Paragon 6 Heated CE Gloves - Black These gloves have a small battery pack in each that you charge up. They should then give about 5 hours heat before needing recharging. I found that you have to switch them off AND unplug the glove from the battery as soon as you've finished riding as otherwise there's some sort of current drain which flattens the battery and actually damages the cells. The first pair I had had to have new batteries as they went flat and wouldn't even hold half an hour's charge. Since having them replaced and making sure I unplug each time, they've been fine.
Richa Invader Gore-Tex Gloves - Black Great gloves for Summer riding with good fit and fully waterproof
Oxford Spartan Air Glove - Black / Grey I'm not one of these riders who in hot weather ride in shorts , tshirts and no gloves
I purchased these for my trip around Spain in temperatures over 30 degrees and are still comfortable
Richa Stradale Summer Gloves - Black / White Awesome pair of gloves really like them ?
Leatt ADV 5.5 HydraDri Textile Gloves - Hi Viz Comfortable, breathable, tactile, great quality gloves from Leatt. I’d agree with other reviews I’d seen that the fingers are a weeny bit too long but I’m still happy with them.
Knox Urbane Pro Gloves - Black These gloves do feel snug but I'm hoping they mould to my hand after a few outings.
What's more concerning is that after only a handful of rides, the thumb cover has started to come away from the stitching. Not what I'd expect from an expensive pair of gloves with Knox's usual reputation for quality.
I will be asking them for a warranty claim.
