Fox Airline gloves


Although the airlines are from Fox’s moto range they’re don’t feel out of place on the trail and we really like the pared back, no frills design.

The stretchy cuff provides a secure yet unobtrusive fit around the wrist but can get a little sweaty on warmer days. We’re big fans of the perforated, super-thin palm, which allows plenty of feedback through from the bar with next to no bunching. The back is a stretchy mesh affair that helps keep you cool when the temperature rises and is surprisingly tough too. Because these are moto gloves there’s no snot wipe on the thumb, which may put some people off.

Price 39$

Merida Big Seven 100
