Altura Crochet MittsGet your retro look topped off with the Altura Crochet Mitts. With a refreshed crochet back and the padded synthetic leather palm, you'll also enjoy thoroughly modern cycling performance. Look at classic cycling pictures from the 1950s and 60s, be it racing or touring, and you'll see the knitted cycling mitt adorning the hands of many a champion of the road. And you too can get that same look with the Crochet Mitts. However, don't let the looks deceive, they perform to modern standards too. The crochet back allows for brilliant ventilation, keeping your hands cool on a hot day. And to the palm, the Amara synthetic leather is brilliantly flexible, allowing optimal dexterity. Perforations across the palm prevent sweat build-up and strategically placed cushioning pads take the pressure off and soak up lumps and bumps from the road. Fit is made easy via the hook and loop adjuster and finger tabs make it easy to pull your gloves off after your ride.

You don't have to be into stylish retro chic to enjoy the feel of these classic crochet mitts but it helps. We've combined this timeless look with modern high-performance fabrics to give you a mitt that feels as good as it looks. Originally mitts were made from leather palms which cut into your hands when they were dry and offered little real cushioning – just palm protection so you could keep riding after a crash. The Classic 2 has the Traditional Crochet string back but underneath is a super soft synthetic suede palm with high density foam padding. One very special touch that you have to look closely to see is that the thumb crochet has been replaced with a microfibre sweat panel. So instead of having to shred your nose on the rough crochet when you wipe it you can use the panel instead. Who said style has to be uncomfortable?
