Are the sealskinz advertised as cycle/MTB up to the job /
I can't imagine they would have the same amount of protection as 'proper' motorbike gloves.


Just do as Trials riders do - they never use gloves in a Trial :)

Neoprene, no use... Once wet .. They get real cold real quick.... You really need to consider muffs.... This ain't no fashion show... And it's hard to look cool when you can't hold on...

The dragon eye were the ones I had bookmarked.
Mx gloves won't protect you either - road bike glove are really for scraping down the Tarmac at 80 rather than being hit by a passing hedge.

I'm using MX gloves now, and I carry my road gloves for the journey to, and from wherever I'm riding offroad.
Muffs are a definite no no - and it's got nothing to do with looking cool Joel :lol:

Nitrile no powder workshop gloves under your favourite glove, hands are dry no matter what gloves are and they keep you warm without the bulk. Easy to keep a few pair in your pocket for fresh ones at stops during the day.
