summer gloves

Post by Doctor T »

Can anyone recommend a good pair of summer gloves? Must be ventilated with short cuffs. Not looking for anything flash but must be well made.

I am happy with Rev'It Mangrove. The cuff is not the shortest, but I like my wrists covered, as Ireland has only 2 weeks of summer per year.
Rev'It Sand 4 H2O are my second pair, and thanks to getting RT with excellent wind protection, I didn't need my winter gloves so far. They are water-proof and provide more wind protection.
I am here to learn.

Been looking at them. I like RST quality and at £39 they maybe the ticket. Is the sizing true to size and in the past I've found their clothing cut on the smaller size

It's really hard to say about the sizing as I find all gloves are different so God knows what size is right!

Some large fit fine and in others I need an 2xl and I have even had a medium that Errr fit like a glove 😂

I'm a firm believer in trying them on to be honest and forget the sizing
