Review by Michael

Good fit and ride comfort, difficult to get on.
by Michael

My hand measures 9" so ordered L, which is in the middle of the range. Once on they are comfortable and fits well, but the wrist is small making it difficult to get on leaving the strap a bit short.

Not exactly what I was expecting. But they are very nice gloves, which are best for cool days. Because they are quite a bit heavier than the typical summer type of gloves. These gloves also seem to be very durable due to being heavier and therefore somewhat more well constructed than the typical summer gloves. I am glad that I bought these gloves, because I now have a wider selection of gloves to use for different weather conditions. And these will most likely last for many years of regular useage.

Short finger pearl Izumi gloves

The new gloves look and fit like the previous pair, just what I wanted! The material for the back, stretchy fabric ,has been changed and is already showing that dusted with salt look that my older pair does not. . Still using them the same way, that means wiping sweat and runny nose as necessary, but the new fabric is not as resistant to the salts and whatever. The main reason I bought the new pair was the gradual, understandable failure of the Velcro closure in the old pair.

Thanks for the good service!

Caution: Gel pads are VERY hard

Like comments about other Pearl Izumi Gel Gloves, the gel pads are very hard. I had to take the gloves off midway during a 60 mile road ride because of the discomfort. I would be weary about buying a Pearl Izumi gel glove due to the change in technology.

Bought these gloves in XXL size as a gift for my husband and he loves them. Not always easy to find quality gloves in larger sizes, but he found the fit to be perfect and the padding to be comfortable even on his longer rode bike rides. We know they won't last forever, but we will definitely buy them again.

They don't make them like they used to

Pearl Izumi gel gloves were my go-to choice during years of endurance racing, long, hard training rides and month-long bicycle tours. Unfortunately, this model has fallen a ways from the standards of their gel gloves of a few years ago. The construction overall seems flimsy, and the gel padding isn't as thick as it should be. The velcro wrist strap is particularly thin and narrow, and doesn't look like it will survive hard use. For the price, I was expecting more. About the only thing I like about them is the bright yellow color of the pair that I bought.

Pearl Izumi Mens Elite Glove

Purchased this glove to replace a couple of older pair. Appears the design has been changed which I do not care for the new version. Feels much bulkier than previously. The fingers seem longer and comes up higher on the wrist.

Returned them.

I've worn a few different versions of the Pearl Izumi Gel gloves and these are the nicest ones yet. The fabric on the palm is soft, the velco on the wrist closure is very thin and small, and there are two little pockets at the front of the palm area that let you grab the glove with two fingers of your other hand and pull it off without having to turn it completely inside out. I liked the first set enough that I immediately bought a second pair.

These are not the best glove I have worn but if gotten on sale are a decent value. Pad is a bit thin but they fit well. I have large hands and not every manufacturer makes a 2XL glove. I also use a padded handlebar tape so paired with these my ride is very comfortable.

These gloves fit well. They are a bit thin in terms of padding. The closure strap is also a bit thin, but works fine. Recommended especially when on sale.

Fits really well, comfortable, reasonably priced, washes up nicely and the velcro on the closures doesn't deteriorate like some other brands.

Comfortable gloves
by Bill (cycleguy)

I love the Pearl gloves. This is like my 4th or 5th pair with another company thrown in the mix. I like the fit. The feel of them. The comfort. I didn't give it 5 stars because I have both the hi-viz yellow and the red and they seem to lose their color much too quickly.

These are one of my nicer pairs of gloves.. I really haven't found a perfect pair...The pads on some are too thick and rub at the base of the thumb...that sort of thing but I ride 50 miles...These are well made attractive gloves nicer than most...

They Get The Job Done!
by Biking Bill

I bought these gloves because when I'm driving bright yellow gloves are really visible on cyclists in spite of their relatively small size. Be seen every way you can. I usually purchase extra large so I can get them off easier. These gloves are comfortable, visible, padded and get the job done. They do fade with time.
