Reviews & Tips
1. GORE-TEX Windstopper shell effectively addresses windchill — the most significant comfort factor for cold-weather urban commuting
2. Over-molded hard knuckle is subtly integrated under the shell for protection without visual bulk
3. Extended full-grain leather on palm and thumb delivers durable abrasion resistance in the key contact areas
1. Not waterproof — Windstopper resists wind and light moisture but is not a full waterproof membrane
2. At £89.99 it’s a mid-range price for a glove that’s limited to cold and dry conditions
3. Short cuff provides limited coverage beyond the wrist closure
The C1 Windstopper V2 Glove solves the problem that most cold-weather urban riding gloves don’t: keeping wind out without sacrificing the tactile connection to the controls. The GORE-TEX Windstopper main shell delivers effective insulation against windchill, which is the most significant comfort factor in urban commuting at lower temperatures, while remaining lightweight enough to maintain feel at the controls. Extended full-grain leather reinforcements on the palm and thumb provide abrasion resistance, and the over-molded hard knuckle is subtly integrated under the main shell for impact protection without visual bulk. Integrated foam padding on fingers and thumb adds comfort and fit, and a new cuff closure with hook and loop gives a secure, flexible wrist fit. Touchscreen-compatible fingertip on the index finger covers device access in the city. CE certified to CAT II Level 1.
The C1 Windstopper V2 Gloves are aimed at urban commuters who ride through autumn and winter and need effective windproofing alongside CE-certified impact protection. At £89.99, they’re a practical mid-range cold-weather commuter glove investment.
