This glove was born in Belgium. Our professional riders who compete in the classics asked for a neoprene glove that was as thin as possible while keeping hands warm and dry. This is the ONLY glove that does just that. The neoprene is as thin as 1.5 millimeters for maximum dexterity. The silicone grippers on the palm ensure your hands stay firmly on the handlebar on the roughest trails or the most uneven cobblestones. The cuff is cut lengthwise so that rain does not penetrate the glove or leave a gap between your long-sleeved jersey or cuffs and the glove. There are also touchscreen inserts on the fingertips in case you need to produce photographic evidence that the cobblestones are really that rough.
