Summer riding gloves, recommendations please

[Mike Muz]

Hi folks,

Was wondering about getting some of those full finger summer riding gloves that seem popular. My road track mitts are starting to wear out!
Can anyone recommend anything, or just as importantly, anything to avoid?
I do cross country riding, so I don't need downhill full protection from errant branches/ people or rock faces!

Thanks

Mike

I use Endura Full Monty gloves most of the year, quite lightweight and ventilated along the fingers, with a bit of padding on the Palm, under £20, have had them a year now and no noticeable wear yet.

Before those that had some Dakine Ventilator gloves, even more thin/ventilated with very little Palm padding, had them maybe 5 years! Still have them although the sun/repeated washing has faded the colour a bit, were also around £20 when I got them.

I can recommend either glove for summer riding from my experience.
