For some reason I've never been a big fan of fingerless gloves. Well, that's not entirely true- I did go through a serious metal phase around 12-13 & i thought fingerless gloves with spikes were the sweetest thing EVER. So I was pretty stoked when these came Cole's way, being gloveless, and he was swimming in gloves at the moment and hooked me up- and right in time for our tour! So with the Heat Wave 2.0's on, I was ready to go in all of my full fingered happiness.
While the 2.0's are in the MTB series, the packaging says that they're versatile enough for BMX and even touring bikes- 200+ miles on tour, and another hundred or so riding around and they're still holding up great.
These gloves are anatomically pre-curved with a 5 pad Shock-Tek™ padding system in the palm. The back is made of a dual mesh and spandex for ventilation and durability- and riding over 60 miles a day they ventilated well. The palm and fingers are made from a ventilated synthetic leather.
My hands are happy, and my wrists are happier. I hadn't had a good pair of gloves in awhile, and after having a pair again, they're an essential piece of equipment.
