INOV-8 TRAIN ELITE GLOVE £15

You don’t always need thick gloves. Sometimes you just need something to take the edge off. For this purpose, the superthin Inov-8 Train Elite gloves hit the mark perfectly – they are ultra-light (34g), comfy, stretchy, retain finger dexterity and keep your hands warm. Everything I want from a lightweight glove.

VERDICT Very thin gloves for when you need just a touch of warmth – and all at a good price. USED BY James Forrest, Trail contributor USED FOR 2 years
