Descente Wombat Glove - 2010

Descente Wombat Glove - 2010 BCS

Item # DES0235

Descente designed the Wombat Cycling Glove for complete four-season versatility. Use the water-resistant three-season gloves for everyday fair-weather cycling. When the clouds roll in, the wind picks up, or the mercury dips, pull out the hidden stretch mitt section to keep your digits extra toasty.

  • Tri-Comp fabric is windproof, water-resistant, and fleece-lined for warmth
  • Grippy silicone areas keep your fingers from slipping off your bars or brake levers
  • Extra-long cuffs tuck under your jersey to keep drafts at bay
  • Articulated fingers for natural feel

Bottom Line:

You can always trust products named after large Australian rodents.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Did you know it does not sell a product to call a wombat, a rodent? It

Did you know it does not sell a product to call a wombat, a rodent?
It implies that you have no idea what you are talking about since a wombat is not a rodent. It implies that if you don't know about the animal you named the product for, that you don't understand your product either. And here I was thinking that to convert a glove into a mitten was a pretty neat idea. EJLMotiveForce@bikerider.com.
By the way, a wombat and many other animals from Australia is a marsupial.

... what? I think they used the wombat name because it is a marsupial and these gloves have a hidden pouch.

What a great glove

I ride year-round except on ice/snow. When the mercury dips below freezing, use these in tandem with poly glove liners, and you're golden. Fit is true to size, and you can even fit a hand warmer in the portable mitt for warmer hands.

Good glove, durable, not really 4 season

By:

I've had them for about a year, and wear them often. I have BIG hands, and the XL fits well, and looks good. The hidden rubbery mittens are easy to pull out for extra warmth, and quick to stow. They also clean well. I've run them through the washer maybe a dozen times (dryer five or six), and they still look new.

It's just not 4 season, unless you live in Southern California or Florida. In the regular configuration, it's great for temps in the 45-55 F range. The rubber mitten thing gives me an extra 5-10 degrees of warmth, down to about 35, at best. Any colder? I reach for my PI Lobster Gloves.
