These half finger cycling gloves are built for the part of a ride nobody talks about, which is what happens to your hands after the first hour. On a bike your upper body rests on two small patches at the base of your palms, and that is where the pins and needles start. The gel in these mitts is mapped to sit exactly there.

The synthetic suede palm carries 5 mm of contoured gel, split into separate pads over the heel of the hand and the base of the fingers with channels running between them, so the padding flexes with your hand instead of bunching into one lump under the bar. The back panel is stretch mesh, the wrist closes with an adjustable hook and loop strap, and two small tabs sit between the fingers for pulling the gloves off.

Road, gravel, mountain bike or the daily commute, these are fingerless mitts that prevent numb hands on long rides, with your fingertips left free for a phone, a zip or a gear lever.

Key Features:

• Contoured gel pads 5 mm thick sit across the heel of the hand and the base of the fingers to prevent numb hands over a long ride.
• Half finger cut leaves your fingertips free for phones, zips and gear levers while keeping your hands cool in summer heat.
• Synthetic suede palm wraps around the sides of the hand for grip that holds when the bars are wet with sweat or rain.
• Pull tabs between the fingers mean the gloves come off in one motion even when your hands are soaking.
• Stretch mesh back panel moves air across the back of the hand on a long climb in warm weather.
• Terry panel across the back of the thumb gives you somewhere to wipe your face without stopping the ride.
• Reflective trim on all three colourways helps your hand signals read to drivers at dusk and in poor light.

builds kit for people who already know what they need. These are for riders who count a ride in hours rather than miles, and who want their hands still working at the end of it.

Pair them with our padded cycling undershorts for longer days in the saddle, or our full finger outdoor gloves for when the weather turns.
