Indeed, would be nice considering the warmer weather is just around the corner, and the biking section will be a lot more active!

Never bought a Giro lid i'm afraid, always go for the specialized ones.

full finger gloves -

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx?Cat=cycle&ProdID=5360031365&N=Specialized Deflect Gloves

or if you want the padding for bumpy rides - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDeta...28368&N=Specialized BG Gel Long Finger Gloves are pretty good.

if your wanting for freezing weather though, i'd probably go with http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDeta...=5360020533&N=Endura Strike Waterproof Gloves

Id second these the only gloves i have and they are rather comfy an do keep my hands at the right temperature (not sumer tested) but i will be getting some half finger ones soon enough!

only thing i will say is the size chart on wiggle said i should be a medium so ered on the side of caution and went for the large and these are a little tight to pull on.[B)]

Thats true, i have the large half finger BG specialised ones, and some kona full finger ones. Gotta say they are ace, pretty cheap as well think i paid £10 or £15 for them and they lasted me a good 3-4 years until i wore them on a boiling hot day and the rubber grip of my old bike melted to them... woops!

i have some spesh winter gloves,pretty good but the mesh inner is a bugger.you have to hold the end of the fingers to remove the glove and stop them turning inside out.
my current endura's are :w4nk: have lasted 1 full year max.
holes all across the palms.
bumpy rides??thats what 140mm of travel is for ;)

couldn't we just have "a thread",stuck,if guys want to show off the latest ride,then photobucket .
offer is still there to look after it,trim some of the none specific stuff from time to time.
but keep helpful,hints/tips/ride locations/trails/trail centres.
We could have a show and tell every Monday :D

like the other week i put up a thread abuot having gone out on a ride for the first time, i think it would be awesome for people on here to share riding spots etc. I know there are forums like SouthernDownhill.com, but it would bring people on the forum closer, with more in common, also the people on here are more mature than the teenagers on SDH
