Amazing great filling

Between carpal tunnel and stiff arthritic wrists, these gloves are a blessing. I have tried 5 different brands and these are the best. I love inlays because they easily pull gloves off sweaty hands. Taking off these gloves is NOT an additional undesirable sporting event.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Comfortable gloves for men

Love these gloves. I have two pairs that I alternate. The gel is comfortable and in the right place. True to size. I'm used for about two years before going through a set with their rotation. The only problem is that after a while the velcro weakens and fixes it poorly. A pair I have now is beginning to tear at the seam.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

some protection when mountain biking, comfortable

These gloves fit well and are comfortable when mountain biking. They do NOT protect against tree accidents and when my hand touched the tree I bled a little. Although I think it would be worse without gloves. But they offer some protection for minor tree collisions and comfortable grips.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • I will add later

Wouldn't buy or recommend them.

I was thinking of returning this pair as it is of very poor quality but decided against it as I could have just kept it as a spare pair. Couldn't believe it was a Giro product. The stitches on the inside cut through the skin. Works very little. I usually wear oversized or XL gloves when working in the lab and both fit perfectly. The XL of these gloves is hard to find.

Pros
  • beautiful thing
Cons
  • compatibility

Small, touch screen doesn't work

The gloves just arrived and I need to see them soon. I usually buy medium sized gloves from La Garneau and Pearl Izumi and these are my first Giro gloves which are a little tight. The padding seems sufficient. Another thing is that the touchscreen technology doesn't work for these gloves. I think either way I'll return this and look for another set of gel padded gloves. This may require a callback or, in my case, a refund.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • No instructions

Looks great, medium size as I expected

Looks great, medium size as I expected. Some people might want to walk more if they don't like the tight fit. They keep my hands warm and there is enough airflow for someone traveling to SoCal. The only problem is that the velcro keeps sticking to the glove itself, causing excessive wear. If you just close them every time you put them away you're usually clean, but sometimes putting them in a pocket or small space makes the gloves stick to each other instead of to themselves. Other than that…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Performance

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…

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Pretty good road gloves with long fingers but they are VERY SMALL

I ended up ordering two pairs of these gloves - one for me and one for my 11 year old son. My son loves his winter cycling gloves, but it's so hot in Texas in July that he finally had to admit his hands were too sweaty. Likewise, I wanted to switch from the typical short-finger road gloves to long-finger gloves because I've read that long-finger gloves offer much better impact protection and many critically-hit riders use them for that reason. These gloves are one of the only long fingered…

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • Easy to repair
