January 29, 20188 yr https://www.justgloves.co.uk/Work-Gloves/Assembly-Line-Gloves/Skytec-Basalt-R-Gloves Although not intended for trialling these gloves are very comfortable and give a good grip on the bars. Hardwearing also. This is not a "for sale" post. I have no connection with the link at all. I just happened to come across the gloves at a company that supplies and maintains equipment at roadworks / quarries etc.

January 29, 20188 yr I know at least one rider that likes them and has used them in the past, however for him it's usually a cheap fallback glove for wet weather or if his preferred glove gives out during an event. Havent tried them myself so can't give any opinion on them.
January 29, 20188 yr I've used similar before, but prefer Mechanix gloves for wearing for a long time
January 29, 20188 yr I wear muddy fox mountain biking gloves. £12 from sports direct. Again, I have no association with sports direct.
January 29, 20188 yr +3 for Mechanix, though I don't have experience of anything else. But at about £5 a pair, what's not to like? Those other gloves look like gardening gloves. I used them when crewing on fast skiff dinghies. I think I was paying €1 per pair and they were far better than the £25 sailing gloves. Brilliant grip when hauling on a skinny bit of spinnaker sheet. I considered them for trialling but thought the grip may be too good. What if I want to slide my hand on the twistgrip?

February 14, 20188 yr I think I may have got that wrong. I bought mine in Homebase and I thought I remembered them about that price, but I've just looked and they're £14 now. https://www.homebase.co.uk/mechanix-utility-large_p395818
