Scott Contessa Pro LF gloves
BikeRadar verdict
"Like an ice bath for active paws. Now all we need is some sun"
We are huge fans of cool, cuffless gloves when it’s warm and these top-end women’s versions from Scott didn’t disappoint.
With no armour and minimal reinforcement, they’re very much a cross-country glove, but when the weather hots up they’re fantastically airy, with light mesh between and behind the fingers lending a real barely-there feel.
A neoprene cuff and light gel padding deal effectively with comfort.
Fingers are able to grip firmly on levers whether wet or dry thanks to the pronounced texture on the top quality Pittards leather palm.
They’re available in lilac or black as well as the great shocking pink we tested – get some in and get ready for summer.
