LOOK Excellence winter cycle clothing – first look

Jacket, bib-tights, and gloves from French brand


LOOK WinterFall glove

This full-length glove is another item decorated with the brand’s signature Mondrian-esque stylings.

Of greater interest to the cyclist attempting to stave off frostbite in the recent plummeting temperatures, however, will be its claims for insulation and water resistance.

For the first, LOOK would doubtless highlight their use of a silicone-coated Hipora fabric as a membrane. Elsewhere, they’ve deployed Thinsulate fabric, which we’re hoping will serve us well in the weeks and months ahead.

The LOOK Winterfall Glove is made from a Thinslulate fabric with Hiporia membrane

The Winterfall glove has a robust design with gel padding in the palm and a coating on the thumb, index and middle finger, presumably for grip.

There’s a deep cuff, secured with a velcro fastener, and the back of the thumb is covered with a velour-like substance, which should serve well as a nose wipe.

Reflective detailing is in plentiful supply on the back, including the LOOK logo below the index finger, and a block design on the index finger.

Initial impressions are of a lightweight glove, with a robust design, and a soft internal lining. With winter beginning to make its presence felt, we’re looking forward to encasing our mitts in these gloves on longer rides.

The LOOK WinterFall glove is available in black, in sizes from S to XL, and costs £42.99.
