Fox Sidewinder Polar winter gloves

SO GOOD
The Sidewinder Polars' fluorescent yellow colourway makes them ideal for night rides or commutes on dark roads.

The trail glove feel is backed up with a thin palm and soft snot wipe, with slightly beefier construction making them wind and moisture resistant, but not waterproof. The chunky Velcro tabs make getting them on and off a doddle too. Feel on the bar is superb. They may not be for sub-zero Arctic adventurers, but they're excellent for chilly trail centre laps.

NO GOOD
The rubberised stripes on the tips of the fingers actually reduce lever grip in the wet - less than ideal.

PRICE 52$
