Summer Gloves

Chunky winter gloves are all very well for keeping your fingers warm when the temperatures drop, but now that the sun has started making a more regular appearance and there’s a threat of summer in the air, lightweight gear is what it’s all about. Switching to summer kit is like coming out of hibernation, and being able to feel your controls and switchgear again without fumbling about is one of the simple joys in life, so this week we’re throwing the spotlight onto gloves designed for warmer weather.
