There’s been no suggestion of ingress, although knit gloves like these can feel a sort of chill even when the inner is dry – especially on windy days. If I have been looking to use these quickly after a machine wash, I have found drying inside out gets the vital inside fabric drier more quickly. Machine wash according to instructions, and expect to be dry overnight. The cuff is long, giving plenty of overlap with the sleeves of your waterproof jacket. They say the best way is to go to a dealer and try a pair. Having said that, DexShell point out that whilst gloves are made to general proportions, real hands do not always conform. The knit is pretty stretchy, too, so there’s no need to panic too much about precision sizing.
I’ve managed to add some padding with a pair of summer weight mitts, such as Santini’s Micro Mesh, alternatively, a thin liner on colder days. Certainly, DexShells L is more generous than Chiba’s equivalent designation, for example

Taking in to account the elastic nature of the Ultralite gloves compared to, say, Chiba’s Pro Safety, the sizing is pretty much what I’ve come to expect. There’s something to cover most hand sizes: Euro 7-10 and UK 7/8-10. DexShells describe the finger-tips as Touchscreen compatible, although the is not the heavily tipped reinforcement present on some glove’s index fingers.Īny design with real bad weather credentials will need a good seal at the wrist and decent length to tuck under a waterproof jacket. There are textured grip strips on palm and fingers. So, think autumn/spring, but add a liner to lower the temperature range. Temperature-wise, DexShells place these as one out of five on their ‘thermal scale.’ As DexShells point out, precise thermal designations are fraught with dangers, so take this as a general guide. Although, tactile waterproof inners are no longer the stuff of dreams – as some old-timers, such as I, will recall, the latter combination does give these a pleasant feel.Īdd seamless construction to the materials, and the waterproof designation – in the non-submersible sense - should be pretty accurate The inner is Coolmax, polyamide, and elastane. The mid-layer is Porelle - with good reason, a standard for waterproof gloves.
Working our way inwards, there’s a drip-dry outer (polyamide, polyester, viscose, elastane, elastodiene). Clearly, they’ll be handy for general outdoor use in bad weather. DexShells Ultralite Gloves are three-layer construction breathable and waterproof gloves, aimed at general outdoor use, but with cycling features, except for padding.
