For centuries women have been adorning themselves in this fanciful accessory, so it seems of no small coincidence that you can’t say glove without love. And despite the fact that one might successfully argue bike gloves to be a necessary component of equipment, they also maintain their fanciful status.

Introducing the vast world of women's biking gloves. The sufficient, the appropriate, the functional, the good and, of course, the fancy.

Fits like a glove? You bet...

First up lets clarify or not, as the case might be what "types" of gloves there are out there. You have all seen the huge knuckle and finger protection from Moto-X style gloves that have been adopted by the serious gravity descender and night club bouncer/doorman. Well, that was the case of days gone by, but it seems they are more into the lighter XC/All Mountain Glove these days. Visa Versa, you may often see the trail bandits fully protecting their paws...

3 Years of glove development in the snow has proven that snow boarding gloves should never be under the mistletoe with mountain biking gloves. The POC Index DH glove provides more protection then one's hands could ever need, or appreciate.

Read on for our thoughts on the Index DH Gloves...

Fresh meat is something that Pinkbike.com takes pride in. Showing ya'll what we are going to be testing, and items that we have found to be a good buy, or well worth your hard earned dollars. This fresh meat article is featuring products from Deity Components new line up, Easton Components high end products, Biker Soaps awesome cleaning agent, Shimano's new XT lineup, Forumla's new high end disc brakes, and some flashly 661 Gloves.

Sixsixone has long been a leader in the mountain bike armor and apparel industry and 2008 sees no change in this with yet another great product range for the new season.

I’ve managed to get my hands on 661’s tasty new 2008 Raji glove in a stylish ‘Tan’ color. I’ve long been a fan of the Raji gloves which have always given a good level of protection to keep your hands a little smoother but at the same time provide excellent ventilation to stop your palms getting sweaty in the summer months. The ‘Ultra thin 0.5 Tactilite®’ palm gives amazing feel of the bar, leaving you at times almost forgetting you’re wearing gloves! Sixsixone have exclusively brought in this palm technology with courtesy of Mechanix wear for 2008, a great addition in my eyes!

Fresh Meat is always about the nice new shiny bits that we're trying out or want to show you from around the industry. But what about when we get hungry or need some stuff? Sometimes you're on a road trip and forget things, like gloves. So you go to the local bike shops and you drop your hard earned cash on parts. Here are some of the parts that I've bought on recent trips or seen and thought-hell ya I want/need that for one of my bikes or for me to make my riding more enjoyable. Have a look at the Shift Strike gloves, the Lizard Skin's Charger grips, Dakine's Cross X gloves, North Face's Jacket, Chromag's Seat Post Quick Release, Sombrio's Forensic Glove and of course my Goodyear MTR tires.

The hottest and coolest glove of (does that make sense??) 2008 will undoubtedly be Troy Lee Designs “Air Glove”. Totally revamped for this year these will be the glove of choice for every rider out there.

O.K maybe that was a slight over statement regards every rider, anyone from Alaska or Siberia click back now and go checkout the “POD” or something. Hold on, does Alaska even have electricity let alone the internet?

Brass monkeys! It's December and as my Nan said, "Cold hands, warm heart".. Luckily we ride and have "good hearts" already, even if they don't beat as fast as everyone else's.. Therefore we need to work out how to keep those digits warm whilst out hitting the trails.
