Would you take these back

I bought a pair of Pathan Lobsters about 2 months ago as I needed a new
pair of gloves and these always seemed to get good reviews on here.
However despite being really careful when taking them off the inner glove
keeps coming most of the way out. So to put them back on involves
putting hand halfway in an wiggling the fingers to try and get them into
the right 'slots' now I've managed to stick a finger through the end of
one finger slot. My old HG gloves lasted 2 years before I managed to
dislodge the inner glove so I'm feeling rather let down that I managed it
so quickly. If I'd been a ham fisted sod I would be happy to put it down
as my fault but I can't help feeling there must have been something not
quite right for them to ruin so easily.

Any thoughts?

 

I'd take them back. My second pair did this, perhaps because the sun
came out and my hands got a bit sweaty and sticky and pulled the
lining inside-out - but I returned them and in true HG tradition they
were replaced with no quibble.

 

Cheers matey, So they aren't too good in decent weather then? Any
recommendations for decent summer/autumn gloves from HG(I assume they will
let me change to a different type)

Well, they're designed as a winter glove and therefore to keep hands
warm and dry in cold weather. I found my hands overheated rapidly in
them, but I do have hot hands at the best of times. I wear my
"summer" gloves all the time unless it gets really cold. Renapur on
leather does it for me.

Your best bet is to stroll into a branch and look through their range,
although Loz will be along eventually to give you the exact answer.

 

WTF are you using a winter glove at this time of year for?

They keep my pinkies warm on these cold mornings. Along with the heated
grips and the hand guards on the varadero.

I have normally very cold fingers and they get_really_cold on the bike.
