Henri Lloyd Kevlar Gloves, Short Finger

Advantages: comfortable, performance, good looks...
Disadvantages: kevlar damages shorts? uncomfortable?

...The Flite titanium saddle and its previous incarnations have been my choice of saddle for around the last eight years on some of my mountain bikes. Lets be clear, the differences between Selle Italia's range of Flite asddles is pretty small in general. You pick your material; leather or kevlar and then you pick the standard shape or the Alpe which is a little more cut off at the back which makes it fractionally lighter and a little easier to move your weight over the back of the wheel when on steep descents etc. There is one obvious disadvantage to this saddle and that is that the shape might not be to everyone’s liking, its pretty small and does take some getting used to.

The gloves feel fairy robust but not chunky. Comfort and fit. * * * * * * * * * * * * The gloves fit well as they have a little split at the wrist and an elasticated piece by the thumb. This makes them easy to put on and the elastication enhances the comfort. Now when they are on, the fingers do start to feel a little bit bulky due to the thickness of the material on the fingers.
