Trials Gloves

I use thin hide working type gloves - basically because I am used to leather gloves on the road and it does not feel right riding anything without gloves on.

The advantages of leather outweigh the disadvantages - cheap to buy, no problem with thorns, whins or gorse, dont abrade on rock when you fall off, some heat protection when you touch a hot exhaust pipe - when falling off! They also last a lot longer than anything else.

I have never suffered from blisters when wearing leather gloves in trials , several enduros or several years scrambling (motocross).

I have tried thin fabric type MX gloves in the past - when I forgot my own gloves and to be honest I was not impressed in that I thought they gave no protection at all - you seemed to be paying for bright colours and a fashionable name.

The disadvantages are - they get wet and depending on type can stain your hands!
