We were intrigued to try the weird but wonderful Sportful Lobster over-glove, as a weatherproof option on top of normal gloves for bikepacking trips and light all-round riding. Decathlon’s equivalent is even more interesting, as it’s a quarter of the price, similarly superlight, and allows better one-finger lever control.
But is it as good? It’s slightly simpler – with a more basic cuff and a less grippy palm. And it possibly doesn’t perform quite as well at the extremes – it has slightly more sections of untaped seams around the fingers, which could eventually allow water ingress, and it might not be quite as breathable. But neither of these was noticeable in our testing period, and let’s face it, it’s a quarter of the price.
