It was nice to break in the new Evil Insurgent today. This track really put it too the test on impacts and it held up well, it was kind of gnarly hitting these features on my debut ride on it. Really excited to get it in some proper tracks and see what I can do with it. Make sure you like this video, comment below and subscribe so ya stay tuned for more cool videos! Cheers

I've found the 100% Brisker gloves to be great, they really keep your hands warm in the cold, wet Scottish winter weather and really aren't very "bulky". They last pretty well too, mine are only now needing replaced after well over a year of regular use.

Hey there Mate, I've been using the 100% Brisker gloves during wet / cold weather and I love them!

@warthog578 Жыл бұрын

Great vid mate, good to see you taking it steady on your first runs😂. With the gloves mate, Briskers for me, every time. I’ve got the waterproof ones, don’t really rate them, bit bulky, and first time I wore them, they let in, although it was hammering it down for the hours I was out for. The standard ones though, excellent, just bought my 3rd pair, still wearing my first pair, think they’ve done 4 winters now ( they are about knackered now mind ). Keep your hands toastie, and still good feeling on the bars.

@BoshJeach Жыл бұрын

Another +1 for the 100% Brisker gloves! I recently got the handup cold-er weather gloves & actually prefer them though. The briskers are tight MTB gloves that fit tight and are good to -5 or so. The handups fit a touch looser, but are good in colder temps than the briskers and I use em on dog walks & such too! Both are great & have lasted me two winters now.

Showerpass makes some awesome gloves.. They're a company based in the pnw so they're waterproof and relatively thin but are made out of merino wool and do a great job of keeping your hands warm, even when the outer layer is soaked. I've had a pair for a few years and I use them for just about everything. Including trail building, biking, commuting etc.

Hey bud! Glad to see you out and riding💪🏻. Try and find a glove with a top side out of Neopren and bot out of something else, i have a pair of White, bet you can find them on google, that i have used in -20°c here in sweden. Suuuper nice gloves, for extreme cold keep you hand in the glove at al cost, neopren is the same material as in wetsuits, made to retain a layer of water, in this case moisture from you hand and all the warmt! And the best feel in your fingers ive found so far! Best of luck bud!

In regards to gloves: Endura Singletrack Windproof. Work well for the 0 to 5°C range. Just be careful with the velcro latches, on my last pair (color Blueberry) the left glove wouldn't close properly. The pair in color Electric Blue which I had before Blueberry and unfortunately lost didn't have the velcro problem, best gloves I've had yet.

@@TheHyTek sorry brotha but you are wrong. Sweating when it’s really cold outside is not a good thing. There is a reason why wearing 2 to 3 pairs of socks when going skiing/snowboarding is a horrible idea. Multiple pairs of socks will make your feet sweat. Feet start sweating, that sweat turns cold and it’s game over!! Same concept with your hands. Ever heard people who hike Everest say one of their biggest concerns is sweating while hiking. They say if you sweat on Everest, you die. Nitrile gloves do not release moisture, they trap it. When it’s cold outside, this is not what you want.
