2. Madison Isoler Roubaix Thermal Long Finger Gloves
Review
The Madison Isoler Roubaix gloves can be used either by themselves or within your waterproof gloves for an extra thermal kick. They are very light and slimline - you’ll forget you’re even wearing them.
All unnecessary bulk is removed to make them as thin and light as possible - even the palm is seamless. The palm is also covered in silicone print for good grip on the bar, brakes and shifters. The roubaix material will keep your fingers toasty on cold days.

3. Endura FS260 Aerogel Mitt Short Fingered Cycling Gloves SS16
Review
The Endura FS260 mitts are a great accessory for any roadie looking for maximum ventilation on warmer rides. On the back of the gloves is a fast wicking fabric, and other features such as air channels and venting keep your fingers cool.
Aerogel padding gives you cushioning on key contact points as well improving airflow through the mitts for a more comfortable experience. When you’re really pedalling the sweat wipe comes in handy.

4. Endura FS260 Pro Nemo Long Finger Cycling Gloves
Review
Unlike a lot of neoprene cycling gloves on the market, the Endura FS260 Pro Nemo gloves allow a good level of dexterity - so you can have full control of the handlebar, brakes and shifters.
Even in the coldest and wettest conditions the neoprene fabric used will keep your hands warm. The Terry inner helps to improve breathability.

5. Specialized Body Geometry Gel WireTap Long Finger Cycling Gloves AW16
Review
These road cycling gloves from Specialized are ideal for racers. The BG Gel gives you amazing grip and control of the handlebar, brakes and shifters. That gel also helps to reduce muscle fatigue keeping you feeling fresher over long distances.
The Reinforced synthetic leather palm is supple yet durable, and when you’re giving it your all the absorbent Microwipe thumb is great for wiping away sweat.
