Pretty Good Accessory Gloves

The fit was great and I like the way they look. The material is beautiful and I can't wait to run with them today (they only arrived this morning!). A few notes: the cuff is quite long and will rub against your smartwatch if you use it for running. However, you can fold the cuff if you wear your watch low like I do when running, so without removing any of the asterisks. The described texture of the silicone grip is basically non-existent. It doesn't really add traction, and if you're using them for casual riding or holding a tool or whatever, don't expect traction. I didn't buy them for that, but I expected some kind of grip. It's more of an aesthetic pattern. The hardscreen finger/thumb only works on my iPhone when pressed very hard. It doesn't really work for typing as it's not easy/normal to press hard while typing. I usually rely on Siri commands from my watch for running, so most of the time it doesn't matter, but I deducted 2 stars for that. Sometimes I need to pull out my phone and answer an urgent text or email, and I'd have to take off those gloves to do it quickly. Save next time to make sure they work better with your phone. Update: Added star. I ran with them in 42 degrees and they kept my hands warm from the start. They are also good at blocking wind. I had to take them off after about 15 minutes because I got too hot :-). I was wearing shorts, a thin, long-sleeved running shirt, and a Brooks running cap.
