Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - What Gloves Do You Use And Why?

Just wondering who rides with gloves, which gloves and why?

http://www.biketiresdirect.com/product/ironclad-impact-gloves

Work great;
Outlast any bike-specific glove I've ever used.

99cent cotton gloves. Because i have nice bar tape, On my pursuit bars i didn't choose the nicest bar tape,

I used fizik's bartape the perforated felt look alike, Worst tape ever.

any that fit

Valeo Weightlifting gloves, because I already had them when I started riding, and I haven't found anything yet that feels any better at any price.

i have some valeo weight lifting gloves. they're great when you don't need fingers.
if you need fingers:

pow ozone pipe gloves

leather palm and fingers, mesh poly sueded upper that breathes but is tough and absorbant.

ten bucks on sale after snow season and they're great.

Have you guys ever tried those grippy gloves? they have a surface that is like silicone?

no padding. much prefer leather.

I wear some cheap bell gloves that have worked out surprisingly well. next pair I buy will be giro lx (http://joyride-cycles.com/shop-by-brand/Giro/giro-gloves/giro-lx-short-finger-road-glove)I think

my hands don't get too hot but they definitely don't get cold. breathes well. im just not too big on all the padding and the stitching comes apart easily. these are women's btw

Pryme Have a Nice Day gloves; ironically my wife saw these before I did and had them shipped to me as a surprise. I used to wear mechanix gloves before these.

totally going to grab these for the 11 days a year it is cold here

cheap gloves that cutoff at the fingers. anything works really.

I rock the Izumi Select gloves in warm weather. Warm weather to me is 60 degrees and up.

I am all about cloth tape and these guys give me a little bit of padding. And next time I eat ****, at least my palms won't get scratched up.

I have had a pair of string back retro gloves for about 20 years.
Never seen the need to get a new yet.

Spenco Classic

Exactly what I use.

And lifting gloves are silly, stop that.

Same, except because I'm a girl everything in my size/made for me has to be pink. Sigh.

I understand there is a pink jersey available if you're riding the Giro d'Italia.:D

Cheapo fingerless bell gloves, mainly to keep the cheap rubber on my cheap handlebars off my palms and ease the tension of commuting on a flat bar. Nothin' special, but they work.

Cheapo no padding gloves at the co-op because gloves are there to protect my palms when I fall

I bought a pair of these last year but the leather around the fingers is so thin it started disintegrating right away. Now there's a split in the leather between every finger. :cry:

So now I'm using some Saranac gloves I got as a door prize at a ride last fall. One of the Velcro straps pulled out on one glove, but I sewed it back in and it's doing ok so far.

Those saranac gloves are pretty nice once they break in, too bad I lost mine :-/

Just about any that I find that will keep my hands warm, and protect in the rare event of a spill. I don't seem to need them for cushioning.

I'm a fan of the Spenco classics. They're comfortable, breathable and sturdy.

Does anyone have any recommendations for crochet-back cycling gloves? The Nashbar ones seem to get pretty good reviews, but I was wondering if anyone has tried any others.

Thanks.

One, because they are Nike, and I respect the brand and their corporate ethics.

Two, skiddz gripz.

/sarcasm

Cheap gloves with crochet or terry cloth for the sweat.

Love/Hate Knog Half finger gloves.

breathe great on top, haven't done a long enough ride to give comfort a great review. also ordered a size bigger than normal because people said they run small and I'm glad I did. Ordered an XL and they fit perfectly... and I've never thought I had large hands.

Cutters wide receiver gloves. Their C-Tack palm is super sticky, which gives a bit of security when you're really flinging the bike around. And you can probably find a color to match your kit.

But I also have a set of the POW MOB gloves on the way, just because they're cheap and I'm intrigued by the carbon knuckles.

To keep me warmer at times(but not hot), better grip, comfort, prevent blisters, and because my bar tape is suckage.

Castelli Super Nano when it's coldish out, otherwise I don't ride with gloves.

Specialized bg gel

This. I usually don't wear gloves and just deal with the slight pain in my palms. But when I do, it's these. No specific preference or anything, it was just an anniversary present from an ex-girlfriend. Maybe that's why I don't wear them that often...

minor update: took the Izumi gloves out in 99 degree weather right now and wasn't bothered by wearing them at all. for the price I'm incredibly happy (under $20)
