Buy these gloves at your peril

Searching the web for some lightweight summer cycling gloves, I came across these, but was somewhat put off when I saw number 6

Type: Full finger cycling glove for Off Road and Free Ride

Typical Seasons: Summer

1: Vented polyester face fabric that allows the flow of cool air in and warm air out. Ample movement for fingers and knuckles.
2: Towelling on thumb to wipe excess moisture from the nose and face.
3: Silicon grip on fingers finger to aid grip while breaking and gear changing.
4: Amara Synthetic leathar palm padding with added silicone print for extra grip.
5: No wrist band, simple to pull on.
6: Reinforced with an Amara (synthetic leather) patchs between thumb and on breaking fingers.
7: Grey decal on backhand

I haven't doctored the description, this is the actual listing lol

It took me a while to pick up on your comment, I would take it as an omen.

If you look in Facebook local ads, you often see bikes with punchers for sale.

Mind you, after your late Friday night arguments in the taxi rank, this could be quite useful:

Sod it, I went and bought some. Just hope my fingers don't explode into a million pieces when I put them on

You should have gone for these, and just bin them after a while of use. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/24-Pairs-Of-Brand-New-Black-Nylon-PU-Safety-Work-Gloves-Builders-Grip-Gardening-/181035416873?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=480221485172&hash=item2a268d3d29
In reality, they would probably make your hands too hot, but it does go to show how overpriced that cycle clothing is.

Scientists used to wear these type of gloves in cheap sci-fi movies in the sixties.

It never went well for them.
