PRODUCT REVIEW
check that if it ’ s important to you . I ’ ve just come back from a 1000km weekend trip down through Arthur ’ s Pass and back up through the Lewis Pass , with snow on the ground in both . The Corozals were just warm enough to keep the worst of the cold off – it was a balmy 6-degrees over each pass . I generally pack these gloves if I ’ m going on a summer tour down South and they replace the unlined summer gloves whenever the temperature drops or the rain starts . They ’ ve proved warm , comfortable and dry ( they ’ ve seen rain , but not anything torrential yet ). The only negative is the lining gets kinda ‘ sticky ’ if I put them on when my hands are already wet . I think this is because I like my gloves quite tight to start with , so until they bedded in were pretty tight , so the lining had more chance to ‘ stick ’ to my fingers . Talking of bedding in , they took a while to give a little and become super comfy , even though they have pre-curved fingers . They ’ re now very comfy , and I appreciate the short , low-profile cuffs which are easy to tuck under my jacket sleeves . As gloves for most of the year , barring the coldest or hottest bits , the Alpinestars Corozal have become an essential part of my riding kit over the last 12 months .
