100% Simi gloves

100% Simi gloves

THE NEW SIMI gloves from 100% use perforated leather on the back of the hand for protection and a thin Clarino palm for maximum grip and feel, and look very similar to Giro's excellent Remedy Xs.

The cut is good, and we really like the oversized Velcro closure on the outside of the hand, which allows for a close fit. Padding in all the right places helps protect the back of the hand should you take a spill.

Unlike other brands that use clumpy fabric on the fingertips, 100% use a tech thread on the thumb and index finger for touchscreen compatibility, though we did snag the thumb fabric on ours on a gear cable, leaving us wondering how much longer it'll last.

The overall feel is great and there's enough protection on the back of the hand to ward off brambles without it feeling clumpy or obtrusive, while the thin palm with its perforations feels great on the bar.

PRICE 52$

CANYON NERVE AL 8.0
