The current pair are a set og Frank Thomas Goretex winter gloves. They have been brilliant and are actually not worn out. I just wanted to see if gloves had progressed in ten years?
I was looking for another set of gloves which feature a Goretex liner. This in my opinion is the driest most breathable of all the waterproof fabrics, ie-Hipora, dritec etc.,
It's a tad exxie on the budget, but once again, my last set still work great and are ten years old, so maybe there is something to be said about looking for quality after all.
However wanting a Goretex lined glove also made my choices a little limited. After hunting around several shops I chose a set of Dianese D-Tec Goretex gloves. I found they fit my hands..........well......like a glove
They features armour over the knuckles and finger joints like a pucka sports glove, but it is descretely hidden, with the current style of streching the leather over the armour being employed to locate the gaurds. A conventional velcro wrist strap ensures the gloves don't fall off in the event of a spill, and they have a neat little rubberised tag on the cuff which assists in pulling the gloves on. This is especially handy when pulling glove #2 on with a gloved #1 hand
I could also imagine, as I have not yet tried the wet weather prowess of these gloves, that in the wet this tag would be even more appreciated.
The cuffs are perhaps a touch narrow, however unlike some people, I tuck my winter gloves in under my wet weather jacket. I find the other way water rolls down the back of the jacket sleeve and seeps into the glove from there. So this narrow cuff suits me just fine.
I am planning a short day ride Sunday, and as rain is predicted may have a wet weather evaluation for you then. If not it will probably rain on my little trip away.
So when I arrived home spending only $170, boy was she happy.
