Race Face Stage gloves


SO GOOD
The well-shaped neoprene pull tab incorporated into the cuff makes getting the Stages on easy. Race Face have done a great job with the shaping and fit, ensuring that the thin palm follows the contours of your hand nicely, with no bunching. There’s decent reinforcement in all the key high-wear areas and ours are yet to show any signs of significant wear. The conductive patch on the middle (rather than index) finger is a nice touch too.

NO GOOD
Some testers found the thick elasticated section of the cuff a little tight. The heavily perforated upper means you won’t want to wear these in winter.

PRICE 45$
