Glove Dilemma! Any advice?
Posted: Tue Jun 08, 2010 12:52 pm
Hey, so I'm new to the forum and not sure if this is the right place to post.... but I need some help with ladies gloves!
I recently purchased the Icon Twentyniner glove in black, size large. However, I have to return it for a size bigger since the finger length is not right... that is if I return it for the same glove!
The dilemma here is that I am looking for a glove that is really only around the wrist (not a full cuff), breathable, and yet protective. As well as comfortable. I have been doing a lot of around town riding, but will be getting into a bit of highway riding (still new and getting full license), however it is summer time!
From looking into my online options, I've found I have many, but I don't know where to go with it! Should I stick with this glove? or attempt to find a better suited one?
Some things about the twentyniner is that it's fairly basic in it's style. Padding in the palm is barely there, thin, breathable. I have noticed on the inside of the fingers, the stitch seems to take up a fair amount of room and irritate the tips of my fingers - that could be a size thing though!
The twentyniners:
Durable Nylon/Polyester construction
Abrasion resistant premium grade goatskin palm
Synthetic leather finger gussets
Hi-Flow backhand Mesh
Hook & loop backhand closure
Womens specific fit
Pre-curved palm and finger design
Don't get me wrong, it's a great glove! I just wanted to see if anyone else had an opinion or suggestion that could help me find a better glove suited to my needs! Thanks for looking....
Anyone care to offer up what's on their mind about this?
