    Hi... Time to look at getting a set of cycling mitts for the Summer. Last years are breaking at the thumb...but got good value from Sports Direct on them so no complaints.

    What should I go for this season.... dont want to spend over €25 on a set.

    Any good links..???

    Many thanks

    I have 2 pairs of these (http://bbbcycling.com/bike-wear/gloves/BBW-34), find them good enough. Never think about them while on a spin, and those extra tags between the fingers make them easy to take off. They're widely available in Local Bike Shops, and fall within your price budget.

    Honestly, I think mitts is one area where the super budget offerings are a very viable option, so IMO consider that Lidl are selling mitts for 3.99 tomorrow!

    Some of their stuff I'd say isn't even worth a punt (Shorts being a key example), but I'd say mitts are one thing which may work fine just as long as an LBS brand.

    why don't you sew them? mine split recently and my wife sewed them so they're grand again (lovely pair of Specialized fingerless ones).
