Glove recommendations
Any recommendations for gloves? Something with a decent amount of padding. Light weight. Comes in black?

I just bought some Rapha's because I'm tired of replacing $30 dollar gloves every 4 months.
Prolly another week until they get here - but when they do - I'll let you know how they feel.

Oh, and I just bought a pair of Specialized "deflect" gloves that I really like. Great for the East Coast weather we're having now.

Don't buy Cannondale's 3-Season glove; nice palm grip and padding, but have started to fall apart after 2 months. Also I don't know what the 3rd season is as they're not very wind/cold resistant for the winter and too thick for the summer.
Should be "3-Seasons of occasional riding in southern california when it's not raining Glove"

Menard's has a great set of tight-fitting leather/nylon stretchy stuff "outdoor work gloves" that are cut at the knuckles and work just as well as any $30 bike gloves for $6
