We prefer gloves that are protective without getting in the way. The Endura Singletrack gloves perform this feat very well. The "suedette" palm, aka washable faux-suede, has a single layer for the fingers, doubles up under the knuckles, singles out again in the middle of the palm, and then holds in place the thin, dense pad at the heel of the palm. This material is also wrapped over the area between the thumb and index finger, where we typically get jammed with controls and other handlebar-mounted gadgets. On the palm are silicone gripper zones, not many, but just enough to hold the hand in place gently. The back has a synthetic terry-cloth zone starting at the tip of the index finger and running all the way down the back of the glove. The other fingers and back of the hand are covered by a tough, breathable four-way stretch mesh. The Endura logo is screen on in reflective material. The glove pull at the bottom is made from neoprene. The glove is secured into place via a Velcro strap that goes on the palm side of the hand -- better for not getting caught on stuff your hand might brush in the thick of things. The color is Black. The Endura Singletrack glove is available in sizes from Small through XXL.
