I need a new pair of gloves, and I've been looking at the ASSOS Sport gloves. They say they have "integrated finger loop pulls"...what the heck are those?!? :confused: It's pretty simple; I'd just like to know what they are.

Also, if anybody could give me a link to a pair of gloves that don't have a Terry thumb, I'd appreciate that, also. They're hard to find, you know.

I have a pair of assoc gloves, they are my favorite! Forget exact which ones off-hand, basicaly the finger loops let your pull off the glove. They are just small loops on 2-3 fingers that you pull on to take off the glove.

Are they on the inside somehow? I just can't see how having loops wouldn't be annoying.

The loops are on the outside. I thought they'd be annoying too, but they aren't. These are by far the nicest gloves I've used.

Okay, thanks Kev & Bigwheel. Maybe I'll get myself a pair come spring.

Yep on the outside, not annoying at all. They are elastic basicaly so conform perfectly to your fingers. You won't even notice they are there.
