2. Gloves £19.99

I wasn’t terribly impressed with these. There’s a good hard knuckle protector, small plastic sliders on the finger edges and a plastic palm inset designed to protect the scaphoid. There’s a cuff adjuster and good wrist strap too. That’s all good. But I find the fit slightly odd and what really puts me off is the lining, which manages to be not very warm but also slightly sweaty at the same time. Mind you, they’re only twenty quid so you can’t expect perfection.
