ION Gat gloves


SO GOOD
The cut, shape and fit of the Gats just feels right from the moment you slip your hands through the comfortable neoprene cuffs. We were dubious about the amount of gum-like silicone across the palm, but it enhances grip dramatically in the dry. The palm itself fits really well and doesn’t bunch up. There are small but handy conductive patches sewn neatly into the tip of the index finger and thumb.

NO GOOD
That silicone palm print does mean your palms can get a little sweaty. It also reduces your grip on the bar in the wet. The thick neoprene cuff gets hot quickly too.

PRICE 39$

Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.
