Know where to buy TT style gloves?
Anyone know of a good source (online preferred) to pick up a pair of TT style gloves?
The only place I know of would be eBay, where "Spa Sport" sells them. Unfortunately their logo is emblazoned all over them. Or sometimes there's a random auction...
But, does anyone know of other sources to buy some TT-style gloves?
(For reference, if you don't know what a TT style glove looks like:
(Contador wore TT gloves on most stages, TT or not... others do as well)
(more images of TT glove wearing:
Kloeden, Hincapie)

I don't undertand gloves for TT's. I mean, how long are you on the bike? Maybe if the bars hurt your hands so much, the bar tape is the problem? IMO, Cinelli sucks for that.

Gloves with the Velcro strap on them and loose fitting are slower. Its possible that some of those gloves are faster than bare skin.

I'm not looking at them for the aero properties or claimed-lackthereof - I'm interested in them because they don't have the velcro strapping, they fit rather snug, I like the idea of having the glove go over the wrist, and the padding is minimal but existent. My choices, my interest.
(I'm not really interested in debating whether you think they're aero or not. I'm not TT'ing.)
So, does anyone have any sources on a place to pick them up?

For comfort (considering the glove's properties)

It looked like Jens Voigt was wearing wool gloves during the time trial when he won the Cirterium International yesterday. Will this start a new trend?
