Spring and Fall seasons can be challenging for those riders who prefer a minimally padded glove. Sometimes you need just a little coverage and warmth without padding. There was a time when knitted wool gloves were popular for just these reasons. The knit allowed some airflow to keep you dry, and moderated heat build-up. At the same time, the hand and wrist would be covered and protected to an extent. Sportful's Impronta Glove revives this classic style and the woolly glove feel, but with a lightweight knit Cordura fabric that is durable and doesn't hold water they way a wool knit can.

The other challenge with the older wool knit gloves was that these gloves could be slippery when dry or wet. Modern technology brings us silicone material that is effective printed on fabric. This thin, light, amazing grip material has been applied in a tigeresque pattern to the palm and fingers of the Impronta, giving you tremendous control and feel on the bar and shifters. Light and easy to stuff in your pocket, these can be a great slip on option for long descents, warming up on the trainer, and even just for handling your bike and equipment in the crisp morning before a race or long group ride.
