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."

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.
