<\/a><\/p>\nComfort and Fit<\/h2>\n
The pre-curved finger and palm construction prevents fabric bunching when the hands are on the bars and the single-layer suede palm means that no unnecessary padding gets in the way. The fingers have silicon texturing to provide grip on the brake levers and shifters without adding bulk. The gloves fasten at the wrist with a velcro cuff- this results in a snug fit, and makes them easy to slip on and off.<\/p>\n
The LoDown deliver on their minimalist promise: you can just put them on, forget about them and ride. The silicon texturing on the fingers is particularly useful in wet conditions, when fingers can slip off the brakes and shifters, and the fabric does not stretch and deform when wet- which is very useful for winter riding. They are suitable for riding in both hot and cold conditions- the fabric is breathable and cool, but finger tips are kept snug in the cold.<\/p>\n
I have put the gloves to the ultimate durability test more than once: crashing hands first onto rocks, gravel and every other type of terrain imaginable and not once have the gloves or my hands been damaged in the fall. This is impressive, especially considering that there is no padding to cushion the blow, and previous gloves I\u2019ve ridden have suffered tears in similar situations. The LoDown have in fact become my do-it-all glove for both road and mountain biking.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nProtection<\/h2>\n
