We looked at the Sportful Lobsters when we were thinking about best glove options for gravel and bikepacking. What if, instead of taking both a thick wintery pair of gloves for the stormy hours and a thinner pair for the milder spells, you could take your normal breathable gloves and the hand equivalent of a lightweight but very effective raincoat.
Fully ready for this brainwave to be a disaster, we’ve actually found the Sportful Lobster gloves to be quite the relevation. We deliberately chose them on the large size so they’d fit over a useful range of gloves, they breathe well, they add welcome warmth and dryness, and they roll up to the size of a small energy bar.
