I needed a pair of gloves for cold fall and warmer winter days. The right glove for cold days where you are creating a lot of heat by climbing for long times is had find. But recently I picked up a pair of Rab Vapour Rise gloves and am really impressed with them. They might just be the best mountain bike and shoulder season glove out there.
The big important part of a glove used for riding or holding trekking/ski poles is a tough wear resistant palm. You hate to wear through a glove before its time. The Vapour Rise has shown no signs of wear from a ton rides this fall and hours holding trekking poles.
A huge velcro cuff which easy to adjust with the gloves on.
They are great for using trekking poles, not bulky enough to need to adjust the straps.
