New gloves day. Plain black. Short cuff. Semi gauntlet style. Would have preferred them to be even shorter. But that would leave the wrists pretty exposed. Even for daily riders. TPU moulded knuckle protectors, and nothing else in terms of hard armour (palm sliders, scaphoid protection system, etc.). Simple old school all-leather mitts. Good construction. Quality full grain leather.
I went looking for the Tarmac Swift (semi gauntlets) with palm sliders. But I just did not get a good fit + the finish was iffy (cheap thin leather) + it wasnt full leather (sides of the middle two fingers). So I went with these. No slider but superb fit and very nice full grain leather all over (no textile anywhere) + the finish and look was way better.
These actually "fit like a glove"!
Hope these break in well and give me good service as my primary city daily rider pair.
