Great gloves with a few little issues. The first pair was perfect initially, however these gloves will stretch a bit. So what was a good fit became sloppy quick. The 2nd pair I sized down. Though super snug (almost to an uncomfortable level) turned out to become just right. Only minor quip, is the threading material doesn�t stretch, leaving some of the finger cut outs a bit tight. Regardless, I like these and wear the 2nd pair plenty. The first have been relegated to the trainer rides.
Nice padding, durable, dries quickly without shrinking, and you don�t have to pry them off your hands when damp with sweat on a hot humid day. Perfect. Thoroughly satisfied.
I think Giro makes some of the best gloves out there, so I tried these gloves. These fit well and provide excellent padding even though the pads are thin. Very different from some gloves where the pads are thick and don�t provide as much comfort.
These gloves are truly epic and I would recommend them to anybody. They are durable and super comfortable. They feel different than the other ones I�ve had especially the gel ones which just transfer pressure from one point to the other and don�t dissipate it. This is more like a Tempur-pedic foam feel.
These gloves are probably the most comfortable gloves I ever owned. The padding is fantastic.
I do wear them mostly for mountain biking which puts them to the test. There is some small wear and tear caused by branches and Blackberry vines - but so far they are holding up.
I have used these gloves for almost two months now. The padding is well placed and very helpful for my hand protection. I have large hands and order the large size (only option). They are a bit tights taking them off (and threads one on finger have started to unravel. They fit comfortable putting the gloves on though. I have modified my approach in removing the gloves in the hopes of getting these to last a year.
These are my favorite warm-weather gloves out of many examples tried over the years. They are lightweight and grippy with an excellent close fit with no bunching or bagginess under the palms while gripping the bars. Do not size up! Wear your normal size or the size indicated by the chart. When you first put them on they will feel very tight, possibly too tight, but they will stretch and mold to your hands soon. The padding is thin but very effective in damping road vibration.
Third pair I�ve purchased. The padding is in a great location all around. No numbing of the ulnar nerve. They are worth the money!
Good quality and nice fit.
Good quality and nice fit.
The elastic backing is very comfortable and forms to your hands. The padding is where you need it. The fit is one of the best I�ve had.
Giro gloves look good - perform well - are durable - and at a good price.
These do have unique cushioning, continuous formed which feels nice. Especially because unlike others there�s cushioning between the thumb and forefinger for when you�re on the hoods (about always for me). Compared to my multiple Giordana Strada gels these feel nicer, and maybe the cushioning is a bit better. These are pricey tho. I�m glad I sized up one step from my usual so these come on and off ok.
I road ride an avg of 75miles weekly an these gloves are on of the most comfortable i have ever used
Almost all of my gloves are Giro, always happy with the quality to price ratio they give me. These are the first pair of Giro XL�s that aren�t a tight fit. They slide off and on pretty easy, feel great when riding. Almost sent them back for a large but glad I kept them. Got them on sale, would buy them again.
I�ve got several pairs of these gloves because I put on a lot of miles and sweat into them. They are my go to gloves because of their good padding and extreme flexibility, which makes them feel like a second skin.
MY average riding in a week is 85miles and other than Dec-Mar I use these gloves. They are very easy on and off and dry much quicker than prior Giro gloves, They can feel a little stretchy/lose as the material is new to me.
I would buy them again..
Well-made and super comfortable. Would buy again!
I do like these gloves, but the pull ripped the first time I was taking the gloves off. I wasn't pulling aggressively or doing anything differently than with my Pearl Izumi or other Giro gloves, so I'm chalking it up to bad luck. Thought about returning due to the failure, but the other one is holding fine on that glove, so just keeping them. Losing one star for the failure, and 2 stars on value because they're quite expensive for a set of gloves, comfortable, but not sure they're worth the premium price.
This is a comfortable, good-fitting glove. I generally wear a medium glove, and while this is perhaps slightly snug, it's not overly so. I like that it breathes well and dries quickly. My only small complaint (which is why I'd rate it 4.5/5) is that while two fingers have tabs to help remove the glove, there is no tab on the thumb, and some assistance is definitely needed there! However, I will definitely be a repeat customer when the gloves need to be replaced.
