Review on 🧀 PEARL IZUMI Elite Gel Bike Gloves by Brandon Mercado

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Light, comfortable, difficult to take off

My decision to buy these gloves was based on my very good experiences with other Pear Izumi gloves. I have to say they are smaller than advertised so go up a size. While the palm area keeps the padding pattern and materials of the past (good), the back has a very thin but flexible fabric that doesn't feel strong enough (bad). I haven't ridden them long enough to judge the quality, but some of the poorly made details (like the Velcro straps that are too short) don't inspire confidence. Overall I'd like to think they'll last as long as the old Pear Izumi gloves, but that remains to be seen.

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • fade
