Winter is getting closer and you can already see annoyed drivers scraping the frost off their windows: Quite an ordeal without gloves. We cyclists should also gradually prepare for the winter. Gloves are not only an advantage for car drivers who like to scratch. Finally are frozen Fingertips are no longer a rarity when touring the home trails.
Many manufacturers want to remedy this. The bike specialist Specialized also has the Mesta Wool Liner an exciting candidate in the program.
//Equipment and practice
The Specialized Mesta Wool Liner are made of merino wool. This should score with very good thermal insulation, even when wet. It also has an odor-inhibiting effect and ensures effective temperature regulation. The thumb inserts should ensure comfortable freedom of movement with a perfect fit. Inside the glove, Specialized relies on a compact, tight-fitting design. The palms of the hands and the tips of the thumb, index and middle fingers are covered with silicone, which is intended to increase grip on the handlebars.
Putting on the glove is extremely easy. Since there is no Velcro and the fabric is pleasantly flexible, it is easy to slip on. The wrist is completely enclosed and the jacket can be easily pulled over the fabric. On the way he leaves Mesta Wool Liner a good impression. The cold wind doesn't pull into the glove and doesn't freeze your fingers.
The flexibility of the fabric, which makes it easier to put on, proves to be a disadvantage on the bike. Due to the lack of a closure, the hands tend to slip relatively easily in the glove. Otherwise he is Mesta Wool Liner but worked very well. The seams do not bother even after a tour of several hours. The palm of the glove is coated with silicone and provides an excellent grip on the handle. Another nice feature of the stuff is the touchscreen compatibility. So you can also take a photo with the phone in between times or answer a call.
//Conclusion
The Specialized Mesta Wool Liner is a well thought-out glove for the cooler days of the year. It doesn't let the cold air in and always feels comfortable to wear. However, the glove is too flexible for tougher MTB use. But for 24,90 euros you get a warm, reliable companion for extensive and relaxed XC tours. The Specialized is available Mesta Wool Liner for both women and men in sizes: SM, MD, LG, XL and XXL.
