Unlimited glove use

Got myself a dandy pair of cycling gloves the other day. In sports shops, fingerless cycling gloves range from about 2000-5000 yen. However, I managed to find this splendid, dashing yellow pair in the work clothes section of a home store for just 880 yen. They were marketed as 'multi-purpose' gloves and some of the suggestions for use were given as- indoor, outdoor, DIY, cycling, sports, work leisure. So, pretty much anything can be achieved when wearing them.

I compared them directly with the gloves in a sports shop and they were almost identical to a pair of Shimano (a top cycling brand) ones that cost 3000 yen. So it was a good bit of purchasing.
In fact, the Shimano gloves only allow you to do cycling while wearing them and do not work if you use them for anything else. They do not even let you do other sports while wearing them- strictly cycling ONLY. Apparantly, it is illegal by law to even consider doing so.
