It’s gettin pretty darn cold around here and I also have a slight tendon injury in my lifting hand so I thought some gloves would be a great thing to ask for, for christmas.
I’m looking for suggestions of a good uni glove. Price isn’t really a big issue.
Ironclad work gloves are terrific. They come in many different styles and can be purchased online or at your local hardware store. www.iclad.com/ I like the general utility. Use those with Harbinger 230W WristWrap ® Wrist Guards http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=395 and you’ll have warmth and protection.
i’ve used bike gloves, ironclads of sorts, and a few general mechanic’s gloves. i like the general mechanic gloves because they’re cheap, and if you look well you can get some pretty comfy ones.
I really like the Kris Holm “Pulse” gloves. They’re full fingered, the wrist support is great, they’re quite warm, they take to machine washing well, and I can still fit my Garmin unit over the wrist wrap with no problems. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
I used to use Harbingers, but I definitely didn’t like the half-fingered part of them. I would probably like the KH Pulse, but I’ve never tried them.
But for me, I want really inexpensive. Something always seems to happen to my gloves. For example, one pair got half-eaten by a dog. So keep that in mind!
i just watch for sales on the 661 dirt jumping gloves. for anything other than serious muni i HATE a padded palm, i think it gets in the way. the dirt jumping/motoX gloves have nonpadded palms, grip well, and are tough as all hell. i just got a new pair for $12 or so at jensonusa.com.
