The gloves have an inbuilt loop that enables you to pull on the gloves without putting extra strain on the stitching such a simple inclusion but a game changer

Fantastic gloves
01 Jun 2025 by Julian C
These gloves ticked all the boxes for me, they are a short, goretex glove, with a large aperture so you can get them on even with hot hands.
I did go down a size from normal which was great as they fit even better.

Autumn or spring gloves

Worn every day for a couple of weeks, and they're feeling really comfortable now. Completely waterproof and windproof, so great for this time of year. Had to change for a smaller size (large to medium), and now fit really well. Solidly constructed; feels like they should last.

Light and flexible.

What an excellent pair of gloves, I wanted something that would keep my hands warm but still be flexible and not bulky. These glove have been great at temperatures between 5 and 10, I also pick up a pair of silk liners to help if the temp dropped a little lower.
