The Assos early Winter Gloves_S7 Cycling are designed to keep your hands warm & let you operate your brakes & gears with ease. Assos develop their gloves deep in the Swiss mountains so the Assos Early Winter cycling glove is plenty warm enough to see you through most UK winters. If your hands do get cold you can combine them with the Assos tiburu glove to bolster insulation on the coldest days. ASSOS have pared down the early winter gloves to provide for both protection & deft fingers. With a racing cut, these premium cycling gloves are anatomically shaped to provide low volume & ease of movement. A long cuff blocks wind from creeping in between the glove & the jersey or jacket while on the underside minimalist padding provides both grip & vibration dampening.
