Craft Glow £25

- Colours: black/grey www.craftsport­swear.co.uk

These mitts are designed to be used in the height of summer and are minimal, comfortabl­e and breathable. The Glows have a mesh back that’s continued around much of the glove to help your hands stay cool and dry, and it does a great job.

Padding is kept to a minimum to help keep bulk down and it does mean handlebar feel is good but thankfully it’s still enough to take some of the harshness out of the ride.

Fit is tight; race-like, but not restrictiv­e. However, you can feel all the seams between the Lycra cuff and cushioned nose wipe section. It may be advisable going up a size.

Styling is subtle and the star-shaped reflective­s and Craft logo are a nice safety touch.

Although even after a handful of washes these are starting to peel away, this doesn’t reflect the rest of the gloves’ durability.

So a decent glove, just with a few tiny issues.

However, they do only cost £25 and are good value for money.
