Summer cycling gloves with long cuffs for sun protection
Hi, I'm looking for lightweight summer cycling gloves with longer cuffs that
pay attention to sun protection for the wrist area. I dislike The 'driving glove' velcro tab style, and want something similar to these gloves http://www.rei.com/product/685194 but more robust and designed for cyclists, with perhaps gelpad palms and better color choices. Thanks for any pointers ! rms |

I prefer to wear my Specialized BG Gel gloves and sunscreen... -- Paul D Oosterhout I work for SAIC (but I don't speak for SAIC) |

Thanks for any pointers ! rms For full finger gloves for both off-road or cool weather use, I found that mechanics gloves are as good/better and cheaper (I also cut off the fingers sometimes). Mechanics gloves and motorcycle/ATV gloves are available in lightweight styles with gel, don't know about color (camo?). |

If the day ever comes when I'm so worried about UV that I start covering myself up in the summer while riding, I think I'll just go take Spin classes. You will change your mind the day the doc tells you "its a skin cancer" Happened to me |
