Ohhhhhh yes. Except my gloves of choice were Azonic Smoothies full fingered. If only I'd bought 10 pairs instead of the 2 pairs which I still use to this day. I've found them incredibly comfortable (strangely cool when hot, warm when cold, never found replacement gloves that can touch them).

Now again, I'll go on the 'bay just in case, but I'm resigned to the fact these gloves are consigned to history, and once mine are gone, well, they are gone!

edit: of course, one of the problem with favourite gloves is the... well.... how to put it... the unpleasant odour after a while when you forget to periodically wash them? Gloves can be the smelliest bit of cycle kit going IMHO. At the end of tour... hold your nose!
