Weise Montana gloves, £64.99 Miles covered/time: 500/one month What's good: The leather and polyester construction of these gloves is pretty much spot on for this time of year. The leather on the palms means they don’t feel like bulky winter gloves, and give plenty of feel for the throttle, brakes and clutch, while the polyester on the rest of the ...

Alpinestars Jet Road Gore-Tex glove, £99.95Miles covered/time: 4500/two months What’s good: Stylish winter gloves – who would have thought it? And they are 100% waterproof, too!

Weise Custom glove, £34.99Miles covered/time: 1900/18 months What’s good: I’ve worn gloves that cost five times the amount you’d pay for these, and they’ve not always been as waterproof. Yes, they’ve been more comprehensively armoured, but that’s the pay-off. When I last reviewed these gloves, I’d been wearing them for a month, and had covered 400 miles; another 17 months ...

Weise Victory gloves, £39
Miles covered/time: 8000/18 months months
What’s good? The last time I reviewed these gloves, I’d travelled 1000 miles in them and owned them for the tail-end of spring 2010. An extra year of fine weather usage has served only to enforce my belief in them. Protection isn’t carbon-clad and obvious, but there are elements of armour ...

Aerostich Competition Elkskin Gloves £42.45 (plus £8.49 import duty) Miles covered/time: 2500/three months What’s good: For the past three months these Aerostich Competition Elkskin gloves have been my number one choice, possibly due to the extreme comfort, due to such soft Elkskin leather. Based on a ranch worker’s glove they are designed to be strong enough to cope with the ...

Velobici PBP seamless gloves, £20 Miles covered/time: 650/one month What's good: Created for the cycling world (the PBP stands for Paris-Brest-Paris, a famous long-distance race), these merino wool/polyester mix gloves have proved themselves to be absolutely brilliant from mid-August to mid-September. They’re called upon as undergloves, and they fit perfectly beneath my Weise Victory leather gloves, effectively extending the usable ...

Here's a handful available to ...

JTS Summer Glove £31.99 Miles covered/time: 2000/three months What’s good: The air vents actually work and I can feel a cool breeze flowing through my fingers and over the top of my hand. The XXL size fits me perfectly, usually the larger sizes are too roomy around the wrist but these gloves fit like, well… erm… a glove. Also other ...

Alpinestars SMX-2 Air Carbon glove, £54.95 Miles covered/time: 1300/three months What’s good: These wrist-length summer Alpinestars gloves are a mix of leather, mesh, with a carbon-fibre knuckle protector. I haven’t been able to wear them too much as they’re only good for sunny weather, but I’ve used them for a sunny Moto Guzzi launch in Italy with two-piece leathers, on a ...
