Mavic Singletrack gloves


Despite the Star Wars Stormtrooper black and white colourway turning geography teacher fawn on their first outing, I love the  ingletracks more than any other gloves, and have two pairs on rotation.

The backing has enough protection to fend off the undergrowth and the Pittards leather palm works incredibly well, no matter how  et or muddy they are. They’re also super-tough, despite how thin they are. If you really have to crash, you want to be wearing these.

One of my pairs is so old I need to put moisturiser on the palms when they come out of the washing machine to keep them supple,  ut it brings them back to life every time

PRICE: 45$
