I was a bit gutted when Farmer Brod handed me back my Spidi gloves in a slightly battered state. But hey, that’s what they were there for, and despite his best efforts to muller them, they took two 100+mph crashes on the chin… and I’m still wearing them. These are my ‘go to’ gloves, and have been for the best part of two years now. I love them, and for so many reasons. The biggest appeal is the fit, which ultimately ensures a great level of feel when you’re riding.

They’re not too thick, too thin, or too restrictive; the cut’s perfect for me. Then there’s the secure placement they offer; you’ve got a wrist band adjuster, coupled with two cuff collars to keep them well and truly in place.
