summer gloves
Can anyone recommend a good pair of summer gloves? Must be ventilated with short cuffs. Not looking for anything flash but must be well made.

Re: summer gloves
I am happy with Rev'It Mangrove. The cuff is not the shortest, but I like my wrists covered, as Ireland has only 2 weeks of summer per year.
Rev'It Sand 4 H2O are my second pair, and thanks to getting RT with excellent wind protection, I didn't need my winter gloves so far. They are water-proof and provide more wind protection.

Re: summer gloves
I have a set of these

Unbelievably soft and comfortable from day 1 and probably one of the best pair of gloves I have owned

Re: summer gloves
Been looking at them. I like RST quality and at £39 they maybe the ticket. Is the sizing true to size and in the past I've found their clothing cut on the smaller sizesakm wrote: Wed May 01, 2024 6:58 pm I have a set of these

Re: summer gloves
It's really hard to say about the sizing as I find all gloves are different so God knows what size is right!Doctor T wrote: Fri May 03, 2024 12:51 pm Been looking at them.

Some large fit fine and in others I need an 2xl and I have even had a medium that Errr fit like a glove
I'm a firm believer in trying them on to be honest and forget the sizing
