How many summer weight, short-finger cycling gloves have you purchased over the years that just haven't lived up to expectations. You know, the ones that end up in the "lost" category or the dog bed? For lightweight and effective gloves that eschew padding (and why not, bar tape options available today more than cover the cushion requirement), the Assos GT Gloves C2 are just about perfect for most. Advanced textile research has led the Assos design team to innovation in cooling, durability, and increased comfort—the three main priorities for summer cycling equipment at high-wear touchpoints. The Swiss experts also managed to reduce the weight by 25% compared to their previous comparable summer gloves. An overall increase in breathability and cooling reduces internal friction and irritation from lingering moisture while ensuring the inevitable perspiration of summer cycling doesn’t interfere with a secure grip on the hoods.

With excellent stretch and return, incredible cooling, and durable grip, the GT Gloves C2 feature streamlined slip-on construction that reduces bulk and results is comfortable hand shape conformity. Updated with this model, the microfiber palm increases your overall tactile grip while demonstrating great wear tolerances and skin protection if you go down. The Open-mesh back panel regulates heat and moisture easily, with increased cooling air flow while having the benefit of reducing material- once again making this a lightweight glove with exceptional features and performance.
