When it’s cold outside, but not too wet, then reach for the Pearl Izumi Cyclone Gel gloves. As the name suggests, they’ve got excellent padding on the palm for comfort, and the ELITE softshell material used on the back of the gloves is quality stuff, providing wind and water resistance. We aren’t sure about the white colour, which is surely not a good idea on MTB kit, but we do like it’s touch-screen compatible fingers, and the longer cuff which help keep things snug and cosy. The Cyclone gloves aren’t bulky either, which is good news if you want protection but still want to feel your handlebars.
