We all have one of those DOH! moments from time to time in
life and one of my happened, just the other day. I came back off a ride and eager to check my
time on Strava I quickly threw off my Alpinestars gloves and threw them on top
of the car. In my haste to get back I
packed the bike into the car quickly threw my helmet and hydration pack in the
passenger seat foot well and drove off.
With my muddy gear the wife makes sure I don’t walk all
through the house and I have to throw everything in the machine.....no gloves,
hmmm DOH! At the cost of $10 originally
it was pretty uneconomical to drive 30 mins back to the trail head in the hope
that I could still find them so the search was on for a new pair and the
promise that I’d not be so stupid again.
Criteria for new gloves:
- XL
- Black
- Under $15
- Lightweight and breathable
- Not heavily padded
This led me to the
Giro DND gloves on Jenson for $13.99 the mustard palm color is a little funky
and if budget wasn't a set requirement I may have chosen something different
however I figured no one will see the palm while I’m riding and they are bound
to fade over time.
I’ll throw up a review as soon as they arrive and I've had
chance to give them a go.
