It may be taking its sweet time, but summer is - believe it or not - just around the corner, just in time for the latest lockdown measures (in the UK at least) to begin easing.
Assuming the weather holds out for at least a few cloud-free days of balmy sunshine, that means a summer of riding is ahead and judging by the swarms of motorcycles around me on the road a couple of weekends ago it seems the season is in full swing.
Now you’ve dusted off the leathers and helmet, now is the perfect time to be thinking about treating yourself to an upgrade and there is no better place to start than gloves, particularly those that are designed to ensure your claws don’t get too stiff and sweaty as you (safely) pin the throttle.
Here we have picked out a broad selection of six excellent value gloves - both textile and leather, men and women’s - for you that all slip under the £80 bracket.
