Sportful is a long-established Italian brand from the Dolomites, which sits in the same family as Castelli. Their stuff is detailed, functional, usually a pleasure to use, and occasionally a bit niche.
There’s not that much that’s niche about the comfortable Giara Thermal Gloves (even if Sportful says, ‘A new concept for your gravel rides – the thermal protection of Sportful gloves, applied to the off-road world’), other than the fact that their ideal temperature range felt relatively slender – they were too cold to be winter gloves, and too warm for year-round gloves.
