Interesting.... thanks all!Sam Blenkinsop rides without gloves.
Latex, right?When I ride, I wear gloves but nothing else.
The only gloves I ever wear are these mechanix gloves. Very thin with no padding and cheap.Go to your local chain auto parts store and look for the mechanix fast fit gloves.
They always come up on sale at my local pep boys/advance auto parts for $9.99.
They look and feel just like mtb gloves but without the mesh for ventilation but that has never bothered me.

I use these:I can't ride without gloves. I hate when my hands get all sticky and black from grips.
I used to ride in Mechanix "impact" gloves. THose were probably my all time favorite gloves to wear.
i don't wear them unless it is cold outside.
I was thinking about getting some of those since i see them at Lowe's all the time. I'm sure they last long.I use these:
10x stronger than any Fox/661/Rock Gardn/whatever glove.
I got mine for free when my buddy Tim picked Ironclad up as a minor sponsor. They don't have any padding, but I like that. I have crashed often and not so much as a rip or tear in them in 3 years.I don't ever ride mtb without gloves, but often ride the roadie without them. Never thought about getting 'work' gloves for riding. I'm guessing they last much longer.
fixedI like the free digit on the main fingers, too. Makes picking my butt after a crash much easier.
Exactly, thanks for that.fixed
Great at first.... but hands get sweaty, go to pull up for something and punch mahself in the face. Good times.In my biking hiatus I somehow lost 2 pairs of gloves, now I'm to broke to buy a pair, anybody ride without gloves?
Last week I forgot my camel bak and didn't have gloves, it was like riding naked.
Go to your local hardware store or farm supply and get a cheap pair of gloves. They work just fine.In my biking hiatus I somehow lost 2 pairs of gloves, now I'm to broke to buy a pair, anybody ride without gloves?
