New: Ixon Pro Glitter HP Gloves
Sun, 01 Mar 2009This hardy winter glove, moulded with a soft shell and concealed knuckle guards, makes for an elegant winter glove.
They’re as warm as toast and the chunkiness doesn’t impare flexibility due to the soft shell outer layer, but I find it hard to ride with winter gloves, to such an extent that I’ll compromise my warmth for feeling on the levers.
But if I had to choose, these would be up there, even though the fingers come out around 1cm too long on me.
A nice touch is the smart elastic tab to keep the velcro strap in line, so it doesn’t go catching on your other gear.
This is non-essential but it shows how much thought went into designing them.
I would, however, question how long the stitching on the seam at the base of the thumb would last and also the smooth smartness of the soft shell over the knuckleguards.
Pros: Smart and warm.
Cons: Suitable for E.T.’s fingers
Sizes: XS – XXL
