Fit and sizing is spot-on- the proverbial glove if you’ll pardon the pun, although with the snug Velcro cuffs closed I was sceptical about their ability to disperse heat-even with low-density padding I feared I might succumb to clammy hands in warmer conditions.
However, even without space age materials, clever design ensures continual airflow through the mesh without feeling chill at higher speeds in blustery conditions. Comfort, feel and dexterity are better than most full-finger designs-there’s just the right blend of insulation and control meaning you can repair tubes, fettle transmission, scoff energy bars and even take photographs without taking them off.
While not advertised as such, the Revolution logos sewn into the cuffs appear mildly reflective, offering subtle defence in dusky low-light conditions. Too thin for serious trail duties; they’re more than up to forest forays- the synthetic leather palms giving plenty of defence against shock and spills alike while substantial fleece thumb does an excellent job of absorbing sweat and tackling runny noses.
The only obvious limitation is in very wet conditions. It takes about twenty minutes persistent rain to become sodden, although this doesn’t detract from control and by the same token, they’ll dry in about the same time. Pop ‘em on a low temperature machine- wash when they become dirty or too fragrant and they’ll emerge looking like new and titanium/black livery should complement most bikes and wardrobes just fine.
