I too have been looking for that thread for the last 20 mins..... I have bought some of these gloves so would like to say a "big thanks" to whoever posted it.

Does seem daft deleting something like that - whoever posted it was only trying to help

I would liek to buy a pair.

For peeps who have bought them please can you comment on quality and also on sizing? Are they a tight or loose fit? What size would I need - my hand span is about 10cm across.

I'm pretty poor at reviewing gear, but I've been wearing these for a month or so now on a daily basis and I like them. They are comfortable, with no annoying internal sharp seams which a few of my past gloves have had!

The scaphoid protection takes a few rides to get used to, but now I barely notice it. They're definitely not the fanciest gloves on the market, but I find them more than adequate for what I need them for - and I'll actually probably end up touring France this year.

In terms of sizing, I would probably get a size larger than you would normally buy. I usually get XL, but ended up with XXL for these as they are tight.

*sigh* did you not read my posts on the previous page? Links to ebay auctions that are not your own are not allowed in the for sale section as per the rules.

If you come accross something like that you want to share then feel free to post something up in the right section

I think its a daft rule to be perfectly honest, SOme one could be missing out on something that would be perfect for them because of it.

I remember starting the 'Cheap summer gloves' thread a couple of months ago, I even put a 'sorry if in the wrong section', but felt it was such a good deal (60% off) it was worth posting up.

I'm suprised it wasn't just moved to the right section. For want of a better phrase it seemed pretty dumb just to delete it, especially as several people had expressed interest in the gloves.

Maybe the mods thought I was some type of trader trying to flog my wares?
