    I'm not much of a cyclist so I don't have a clue where these things are concerned, but my g/f cycles to work every morning and wants a new pair of cycling gloves. Ideally she wants a pair with good grip and that aren't too bulky.

    I don't really know where to start. Ideally something not ridiculously expensive as it's just a bit of an add-on gift to go with other things. That said, the quality is more important.

    Thanks in advance.

    Are they for winter or other times of the year?

    More for winter. They should be full size, rather than those ones with no fingers. She's a pretty casual cyclist. A few miles each way to work and the occasional longer cycle at the weekends.

    these are ok for €23? Because you probably dont know which size will fit her, maybe buy from a shop where it will be easy to exchange if you get the size wrong?
    Cycling gloves is a great idea for a present btw.

    oh, just read that she wants full size - well, maybe get her some Sealskinz waterproof gloves?
    When it's raining and you're cycling to work, it's great to get to work with dry, warm hands.
    I have these - they're great.

    HI I have apair of Altua progel waterproof gloves and find them great and not too bulky and keep the hands warm in this weather as well. Available in any LBS.
