I have tested each pair of gloves in this guide for hours on the bike. I've ridden indoors on my smart trainer to see how they perform when soaked in sweat in the middle of a workout. I've also worn them on slightly chilly spring mornings as the day began to warm up and on warmer days outdoors on short and long rides. I've used them all in anger riding hard in and out of the saddle as well as for more relaxed rides to put them through their paces and find out how they performed.
