Decided to slip into the not so slinky mobile sauna hop on the saddle and blaze the trail to Maidstone Whereby I proceeded to enter HG store on my hands and knees pleading for the assistants mercy. No water was given but they were really great and allowed me to swap the gloves for next size up and as they needed to be ordered in they even agreed to deliver straight to my door. That really is service to justify ridiculous high price (imo) for a pair of gloves Incidentally I rode down wearing a pair of thin leather police style gloves without pain or wasted thought on switches.Cheers for your help and nice to know I wasn't alone red98
