dhb Hunston Windproof Glove

If you’re after a warm, windproof and durable glove which won’t break the bank, then you’ve got to hand it to the Hunstons – they’re good, very good. Thermal and fleece-lined with neoprene cuffs to keep the warmth in and the horrible weather out, they offer brilliant value for money priced at £11. They are 100 per cent windproof and offer a good degree of water resistance.

Reflective strips on the back of the hand and reflective piping across the fingers help ensure you’re safely seen on the road while the Velcro wrist closures allow you to fasten the cuffs as tightly as you wish.


Not all bike gloves are comfortable when worn for extended periods in the riding position, but these don’t cause any problems at all, largely thanks to the padding in the palms. And although it’s usually damn near impossible to do anything remotely tricky with a pair of bike gloves on (find a key in your jersey pocket or turn your iPod off, for example) the finger grips on these gloves prevent you from being a total muppet.

That said, there’s rarely a ride when you don’t find yourself pulling your gloves off with your teeth as you battle to unwrap an energy bar, and when that moment comes with the Hunstons, they’re relatively easy to get off and on again. For a fraction over a tenner, they’re a must-have winter bargain.
