VeloNews: Reviewed: Brancale Winter Cycling Gloves

by Caley Fretz

"Brancale calls the color Cognac, a rich brown that has only improved with a year's use. I like it. It recalls deep chairs, cold nights, a small glass of something good. My other cycling gloves don't do that." 

 

Bicycling Magazine: Brancale Leather Cycling Gloves

by Bill Strickland

"...it's most striking product pays tribute to the brand's legacy in leather: short-finger and long-finger gloves...because leather acquires character as it ages, and absorbs the ravages of water, sweat, grease, and abrasion, devotees will happily pay more for a product that has not only a longer life than fabric versions, but also a more beautiful one."

 

Gear Patrol: Brancale SportWool Summer Cycling Jersey 

"Brancale, a brand that once outfit some of Europe's biggest cyclists, used to be synonymous with victory. And after falling off in the '90s, Brancale is back with a new line of premium road cycling gear. The SportWool Summer Cycling Jersey is constructed from a thin layer of blended polyester and merino wool that is both breathable and naturally odor resistant. The front zipper features a top cover to combat chafing."

CoolHunting.com: Brancale's Leather Cycling Gloves, The Italian heritage brand gets an American relauch with the same insistence on old world quality

by Hans Aschim

"We recently picked up a pair of Brancale's leather cycling gloves and were instantly impressed. Handmade from premium African hair sheep leather, the gloves have an ultra-soft, buttery feel. Moreover, the leather is naturally breathable and surprisingly tough-given its softness...While it's tempting to keep the gloves in pristine shape, they're even better once broken-in and will become a second skin after a couple long rides."

"For many, the name Brancale musters up romantic images of leather “hair-net” helmet-clad pro-peloton racers of the 70’s and 80’s. Brancale shoes were the favorite of the likes of Grand Tour champions such as Greg LeMond. After several decades of dormancy, the brand has been resurrected and now is offering small-batch luxury leather and merino wool cycling apparel, available consumer-direct through its website."
