I have a huge selection of summer wear but not much winter stuff.  Of my 2 pairs of winter gloves I can only find half a pair. The new gloves in the shops are almost twice the price of last year with good gloves running at over 8000 yen. The last couple of weeks I’ve been wearing my summer gloves over the top of some thin cotton gardening gloves and that has been good enough. The cotton though feels a bit slippery on the brake levers so need something with a bit of grip.

Every month I get a 2500yen gift voucher from Amazon and after a search on Amazon.co.jp I found these for 3800yen.

Not bad for 1300yen.
