GripGrab Insulator Radhandschuhe

GripGrab's Insulator gloves are a great option for layering ? they can be used on their own but are still slim enough to be worn inside most winter gloves for when it gets really cold... we've been consistently impressed with the high standards of construction and performance...The Insulator is made of 85% polyester with 15% elastane to give it some stretch, using hollow fibre technology to provide more insulation than you'd expect from a single relatively thin layer. The outer layer is a very fine weave, with the inner surface soft and comfortable against the skin...I found these gloves worked for me for temperatures of 7-16 degrees C or so, when used on their own. They are less stretchy than woolly gloves, making for a better grip on the bars, especially as there's a silicon pattern printed on the palms...I found them generally very comfortable in use, and felt that the good grip and low bulk made for a very direct connection to the bike's steering, with easy operation of the brakes and gear shifters...GripGrab make no claims of water-resistance for these gloves ? they have others in their range which offer full waterproof protection. So it was something of a pleasant surprise to find that after the best part of an hour riding through a steady drizzle that my hands were still warm and dry...when the heavens open they won't stay dry for long, but the material has a surprising resistance to steady fine spray...the fabric still provides a moderate level of warmth even when damp, and they dry fairly quickly too...When used as a liner glove, I found the GripGrabs to be warmer than the thin silk liners you can get from Decathlon, and significantly more comfortable than the coarser knitted style of liner glove. They easily fitted inside the waterproof winter gloves I generally use...You may or may not like the idea of bright yellow gloves ? I felt that they looked pretty good when worn with a dark jacket or jersey and helped make sure turn signals are visible in low-light conditions...There is some reflective detailing on the backs of the hands, which is always nice to see. It has survived half a dozen passes through the washing machine unscathed, as has the silicon palm print...As we have come to expect from GripGrab, the quality is very good, with neat stitching and a really good fit. There's some special phone-compatible material integrated into the ends of the thumbs, such that you can still operate a modern capacitive touch screen when wearing the gloves...Most liners are designed only for use underneath an outer glove, though, lacking the toughness necessary for use on their own. Here you can tell yourself that you're really getting two pairs of gloves for the price, should you need to. They're very accomplished liner gloves, with a good level of warmth and comfort despite the relatively thin material, but they're also effective and robust enough when used on their own, if it's not cold enough to warrant winter gloves

Two gloves for the price of one; these fluoro gloves work really well as liners and as cool-weather gloves in their own right
