\"\"<\/a>On the face of it, these two-tone gloves are neither fish nor foul. Not\u00a0a wrangler\u2019s tanned roping gloves or a simple but elegant black riding\u00a0glove \u2026 but then they\u2019re not an in-your-face armoured racing glove\u00a0either. They are all three.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of the Icon 1000 range, they manage to pack a lot of\u00a0technology into a short glove and in doing so without shouting\u00a0about it from the rooftops, have created a stylish, comfortable glove\u00a0that will give you more protection than you\u2019d expect to get. And all in a style\u00a0you\u2019d be prepared to wear, and which beds-in beautifully if you like a\u00a0lived-in look, and I do.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Made from a range of materials, including a French cowhide\u00a0body, \u2018quilted goatskin palm overlays\u2019, neoprene finger sections and\u00a0a backhand detail near the wrist \u2013 home to the blacked-out metal\u00a0badge \u2013 and a low profile 3D0 knuckle insert, they features accordion\u00a0flexzones down each side, and are secured by velcro straps.<\/p>\n

The result is a snug second skin, internally lined on the back of\u00a0your hand for additional thermal insulation and comfort \u2013 disguising a lot of stitching on the back, where the various elements\u00a0meet \u2013 but it’s skin directly on leather on the palm, contacting the\u00a0one-piece palm for maximum grip and feedback.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I can only assume that it is the full fine-grain palm that is in\u00a0\u2018abrasion resistant premium grade Battlehide goatskin\u2019 selected for\u00a0its suppleness and durability despite references to quilted goatskin\u00a0palm overlays: maybe it\u2019s both? Whatever it is, it transfers everything\u00a0between you and the grip \u2013 in a positive way. No vagueness, just grip.<\/p>\n

And while the contrast between the black backs and tan palms was\u00a0a little contrived for me when they were new, the tan is mellowing\u00a0nicely and developing a rich patina, making them look less like a\u00a0pair of evening gloves and more like the business-like functional and\u00a0stylish gloves that they are.<\/p>\n
