Rider comfort is covered by pre-curved fingers with stretch panels and a Coolmax lining in the palm to draw away moisture while the Velcro cuff and double wrist straps help keep the glove securely in place. The Elite WP (£69.99) is the perfect solution for riders looking for the protection offered by a sports glove but with the bonus of adding waterproofing, warmth and a useful visor wipe.
Boasting many of the same high-level security features as its pure dry weather stablemate, Elite WP adds all-year versatility with a breathable membrane in the lining that also keeps out wind and water. This has been achieved without making the glove thick, which can affect rider ‘feel’.
