  1. Can you believe it? It's February and I had to buy new fingerless gloves.
    Ah, there's nothing like the first blush of mucus on a new pair of gloves.
    Anyway, they're AirGels, $27, seem to be really nice but I'm still used to
    the knit kind. I like having the waffle suntan that people in the know
    notice.

    Yeah, but the knit gloves are getting harder to find...and even harder yet
    to find CHEAP. The last pair I bought (got a new pair for Xmas) was from
    Cdn Tire in the Fitness Section. They were packaged as "weight lifting"
    gloves!

    That tan tells any wrench that you is one of their "peeps".

  3. Are you referring to this kind of glove:

    or this:

    This one, but the Trek brand, when I have been able to find them in my
    size.

    Not really. Both Nashbar and Performance sell them (NB even has a
    selection of 4 colors). And the croched (they're not really knit)
    versions are their least priceyest gloves.

    You can also buy "Bell" brand at your local "X"-mart. Same "classic"
    biker style.

    The old Spenco gel gloves are still being manufactured, now by the
    Blue Gel Company of Birmingham, Alabama. See: http://www.bluegel.net/

    The mesh back model is the TL-600. I believe the price is still $24.95
    for 1 to 4 pair, $14.95 for 5 to 19, and $11.50 for 20 and up.

    If you order in quantity you can mix models and sizes. Last year I put
    together an order for our club and we all got our gloves for $12.00
    per. This included shipping plus a small profit for me. ;-)

    I guess the high cost is to pay for their fancy Web site. But, then, I'll
    never know because I don't have the right plug-in. Oh well; I'll just go
    elsewhere.
