Test: The hands are one of the few contact points that we as cyclists have with our bikes. They are therefore an essential factor for the handling and the driving experience. Whether you get this better with or without gloves is undoubtedly a question of faith. We've been testing the Endura extensively over the past few weeks Single track II Gloves.
Gloves are not just gloves. There are cold, warm, thin, thick ones, some with a lot and some with little protectors, short-fingered and long-fingered gloves - the range is enormous. Endura sends with that Single track II a robust glove for freeride and enduro.
The glove makes a high-quality impression right from the start. The fabric conveys a cozy feeling. The is manufactured single track Glove made of 65 percent polyamide, 20 percent polyester, ten percent polyurethane, five percent elastane and also five percent neoprene. This five percent elastane and neoprene is immediately noticeable in the glove. When you put it on, it is very flexible, so you can get in quickly and comfortably without a Velcro fastener.
While the top of the hand is kept rather simple, a silicone coating is used on the palm for better grip on the handle and brake lever. In addition, the ball of the hand is protected from impacts by an extra padded surface.
Putting it on creates a warming feeling. The breathable 4-way stretch material looks comparatively thick, so that the driver is given a lot of protection.
The glove offers a lot of grip on the handlebars and on the trail. Nothing pinches, pinches or bothers you, so you can fully focus on cycling. Despite the lack of Velcro, the glove does not slip back and forth and there are no annoying blisters on the hand.
The neoprene part of the glove ensures warm fingers in bad weather, but makes the hand sweat a lot on warm summer days. A nice feature of Single track II is the large terry sweat cloth along the thumb.
Conclusion
The Endura Single track II Glove is a comfortable companion for cool cycling days. The material composition conveys a warming feeling. The palm offers a lot of grip with the silicone coating, the padded ball of the thumb offers a lot of comfort. For 34.99 euros you get a comfortable glove that is perfect for the colder seasons.
