Review on INBIKE Gloves Finger Bicycle Cycling by Firman Harrington

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great padding, online sizing is inaccurate

I love these gloves, the padding is the best I've tried. Thick pads, large and positioned where padding is needed. "Gel" is a generic term these days, referring to actual pods filled with a gel liquid and dense, closed-cell foam. These are newer but seem to work fairly well. Unlike cheap foam that flattens and loses its bounce during and after your ride, these pads retain their thickness and function. The sizing issue is illustrated in the attached photo where the Revain size is added to the packing card sizes. The Revain website drop down selection information is incorrect. The packing card provided with the gloves shows the correct size chart. The Revain table seems to have moved down a size, so size up for the right size. I discovered this the hard way and had to return the first set of gloves, but Revain makes it pretty easy and free (at least if you have a Prime). A seam ripped on the first set so returned anyway. The new glove is sized and fits well and looks well made, no issues with stitching or overall quality. The "tab" that is used to remove the gloves isn't very useful in my opinion and I expect it to come loose at some point, but I usually just pull the glove off so it's inside out anyway, with that I can wash it after the trip. . They get pretty sweaty and start smelling after a few rides if I just let the sweat dry (TMI?). But what I was most impressed with was the quality of the filling. If it holds up over time it's a bonus.
