661 Rev £18.99 (click to enlarge)

A simple pull-on glove combines a Spandura upper, micro-fibre sweat wipe and 661’s characteristic unfettered single-layer, Clarino palm. After a couple of washes the silicone palm splatter has started to peel off but it does work. I like the feel of the Rev — it’s unrestrictive, lightweight and the fit, especially in the fingers, is excellent — but if you’re new to the sport or have soft hands you may want a little more padding as there’s very little here. You’ll also want to go up a glove size as the Revs come up small.
