Fresh Goods Sunday - Gore Bike Wear Oxygen Short Finger Glove

I don't tend to wear out short fingered gloves for some reason and they last forever. I normally have two good pairs so when one is in the wash I have another pair to wear. The last ones I binned were from Trek and must have lasted nearly 15 years!! unreal. Then I bought a pair of Gore Bike Wear ones in the sale a few years ago for half price and have been spot on. The sizing on Gore gloves are tiny and I would recommend trying them on before buying. Even gloves of the same size but a different model feel different. This time around I got the Oxygen model rrp £38 but shop around and you can get them for about £30 or even less if shops are selling them off. There are three different colour options black/black, black/red & black/white and a huge range of sizes from Small to XXXL.
They are comfortable on the hand and there is plenty grip on bar tape and mtb grips. Tight fitting but not to tight or baggy. The finger pulls on the back of the middle two fingers are great for pulling them back off when you have hot hands. I have worn these for a few weeks and not had any problems but I have not tested them out in very warm weather yet.
One negative comment would be the amount and size of labels in the left hand glove. One label is so big it covers the mesh on the back of the glove, you can see it through the material when you are wearing them. Time to get them chopped out and binned.
