TESTED: 100% iTrack Gloves

Constructed from a single layer of Clarino material the palm is super thin, which gives great contact and feel when on the bike. The mesh lycra top layer allows excellent ventilation keeping your hands sweat free. However there’s not much in the way of protection on the topside leaving your hand exposed on overgrown trails. It’s the ongoing trade off with mountain bike clothing, whether you need to prioritise protection or low weight and breathability. 

Silicone grippers on the braking finger is a nice touch and a reinforced cuff should make these gloves more durable than other lightweight options in the long term. The index finger and thumb feature “tech stitching” for smartphones which is useful for a quick phone call answer but if you need to do anything more removing the glove is a much quicker option. Sizing for 100% gloves is also a little small, I normally wear an XL or Large in other brands but in the I-tracks I’m wearing the XXL. All in all these gloves nail the lightweight but durable category and I’ll be wearing them 100% of the time.
