The Cyclingnews tech team Slack channel lit up during stage 22 of the Giro d’Italia this year. Some rainy stages had plagued the race and my colleague Will Jones remarked on Tadej Pogačar's wet weather gear. "Pog's racing in short sleeves and marigolds," he exclaimed. Playfully claiming the long black gloves the triple-crown winner was wearing looked a very similar length to the UK's number one selling bright yellow household cleaning gloves.

Testing scorecard and notes
Design and Aesthetics A comfortable, good looking and well executed design that is easy on the eye and comfortable to wear 9/10
Wet weather performanceStrong, what neoprene gloves are all about. Glued seams prevent water ingress at the gloves weak point. Sweaty hands are down to what you're doing while wearing neoprene not the material itself10/10
Cold weather performance You may want more insulation in colder temperatures, you could use an outer shell or accept the trade off. Not as much of an issue when riding hard8/10
Comfort and fit Very comfortable, soft neoprene that isn't too tight fitting. Good dexterity too9/10
ValueTop end of the price range for neoprene gloves, but solid performance 8/10
Overall Row 5 - Cell 1 44/50

Tom joined the Cyclingnews team in late 2022 as a tech writer. Despite having a degree in English Literature he has spent his entire working life in the cycling industry in one form or another. He has over 10 years of experience as a qualified mechanic, with the last five years before joining Cyclingnews being spent running an independent workshop. This means he is just as happy tinkering away in the garage as he is out on the road bike, and he isn’t afraid to pull a bike apart or get hands-on with it when testing to really see what it’s made of. 

He has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track, and has ridden and competed in most disciplines. He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild. During his time at Cyclingnews, Tom has already interviewed some of the sport's biggest names including Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Pogačar and Alberto Contador. He's also covered various launches from brands such as Pinarello, Ridley, Specialized and more, tackled the Roubaix Challenge sportive aboard his own rim-brake Cannondale SuperSix Evo, tested over 20 aero helmets in the wind tunnel, and has created helpful in-depth buying advice relating to countless categories from torque wrenches to winter clothing.
