Bought these after being recommended them by Daisy, as a new biker you can get totally overwhelmed with the choices available and what to go for! I can happily say that I wasn't disappointed, They fit really nice and after initially being worried about how bulky they were going to be I was pleasantly surprised at how flexible and supple they were even brand new. I've yet to experience them in the rain but they've made a massive difference to my morning rides to work - I can actually still feel my fingers when I get there!!
