Review on Pearl IZUMi Select Lavender Medium by Devin Girard

I have no reason not to give these 5 stars other than wish they were cheaper! I read other reviews and bought a size up. I'm a size 6-6.5 and usually wear small, but a medium size works well for me. Otherwise the fingers would be too tight and the glove too short. I'm in a very hot sunny climate and didn't want black, but other than the thumb area the material turned out to be rather meshy and very cool. The glove is short and covers the hands but not over the wrist. See my photos. It's ok for me because it's cooler and doesn't bother my watch. Pad placement and support were very good. I don't ride them for a century, only 1-1.5 hours on a combo road/trail, not too many bumps. My last pair of Pearl Izumi gloves lasted 15 years and I'm still wearing them!
