Brass monkeys! It's December and as my Nan said, "Cold hands, warm heart".. Luckily we ride and have "good hearts" already, even if they don't beat as fast as everyone else's.. Therefore we need to work out how to keep those digits warm whilst out hitting the trails.

These gloves are based on the top of the range bike glove from our friends at
Troy Lee Designs. The SE (Speed Equipment) glove comes with more padding than Alexis Carringtons dress (ask your Mom who she is..). Therefore all the knuckle protection you'll ever need unless you're in the Octagon.
Anyway all you really need to know is that these are the "Winter" SE model. You get a thicker almost neoprene top layer which means no more white fingers and actually being able to hold on!
What more can I say?
If it's cold by you now, don't wait until January and beat the rush and try and find a pair. Only trouble is they are as rare as rocking horse pooh, not even I can get any, these were samples! Get searching super slouths..
Cheers.
