Review on ๐Ÿšด Giro Bravo Gel LF Cycling Gloves for Men - Optimized for Road Cycling by Todd Look

Revainrating 1 out of 5

No touchscreen compatibility and poor padding

Doesn't work for touchscreen, at least not Pixel 5. This is extremely frustrating when you have to use your phone for GPS to take a picture. . .that's OK. I'm going where I need to use Gaia for routing, so not being able to manipulate the map while wearing gloves makes these gloves useless to me. The padding is not suitable for coarse gravel and also causes hot spots on both palms of my hands. made cheap. The Velcro on one glove dug into my wrist, causing a sore that only got worse as the day went on on a 60-mile ride (that was her test, btw, 60-mile gravel). I have pain in both hands, a wound on a wrist and I missed a cool bear photo because I couldn't control my phone. In comparison, my Pearl Izumi shoulder gloves, which are made of a thicker material, work with the touchscreen (and also offer better padding/no pain in the hands).

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Vulgarity
