Glove review: Weise Custom

Marc Abbott, 08 August 2012 14:25

Weise Custom glove, £34.99Miles covered/time: 5500/three years What’s good: Since I last reviewed these gloves, just over a year ago, they’ve become my regular mitt of choice, what with the unpredictable temperate climate we contend with on a daily basis. At the end of last year I crashed in them. Quickly. They have no hard protection, but it seems the ...

Glove review: Weise Custom

Marc Abbott, 30 November 2011 16:27

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 ...

Glove review: Weise Victory

Marc Abbott, 23 November 2011 12:09

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 ...

Marc Abbott, 14 September 2011 15:16

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 ...

Gloves review: Cold Killers City Gloves

Marc Abbott, 26 January 2011 15:33

Cold Killers City Gloves, £19.99Time owned: One year/800 milesWhat’s good: Not only are these fleece-lined urban commuter gloves cosy, exceedingly affordable and terribly understated, they’re also very warm, water repellent and screw up into your pocket when not in use. If I’m just nipping into town these are often the gloves I’ll grab on the way out of the door. ...
