Troy Lee Designs Sprint gloves


SO GOOD
The Sprints’ super-comfy upper provides a good balance of protection and venting, as well as looking great.
The fit around the thumb and length in the fingers are spot-on too. The single-layer Clarino palm is comfy, hard wearing and thin enough to provide plenty of feedback from the handlebar. The conductive patch on the index finger doesn’t interfere with braking and makes using your phone less of a faff.

NO GOOD
The Sprints aren’t cheap. The cuff and Velcro closure are a little long and bulky, and noticeable on the bike. We also found the palm bunched a little when gripping the bar.

PRICE 52$
