Heads up, these were designed by Californians so just take the word "Winter" in the title with a grain of (road) salt. In Montréal, we'd ride these right up until the November days really start to bite. Call it 5°C depending on your handlebars and natural hand warmth. Good for a Fall bike tour though!
A joint project between Rivendell Bicycle Works and Cardiff Ltd. From their description:
By choosing tough goat skin and not adding padding we've crafted a glove that gives the rider a more natural and direct feel to the bike instead of a "fistful of muffin".
- Vegetable tanned goat leather
- The back is responsibly sourced British wool
- Velcro closure
- Slit in the index finger allows you to pop open your pointer finger to use a touch screen or other tasks that require high dexterity.
- Sizes: XS to XXL
FIT: We went to great lengths to make sure the fit was decent. Metal forms were made
just for these. If you have hands and/or fingers like Shaq, they won’t fit. (Middle finger of the XXL is 9.5cm long)
Otherwise, here’s a chart. If you’re torn between two sizes, go big. If you have very long fingers, also size up.
Measure your palm circumference of your dominant hand at widest point. Usually that is right below the knuckles. Make a loose fist when measuring. If you don't have a tailor's soft tape, use a piece of string, make a mark and measure the string with a ruler.
- 18-19cm - XS
- 19-20cm - S
- 20-21cm - M
- 21-23cm - L
- 23-24cm - XL
- 24-25cm - 2XL
