Giro Bravo Gel Cycling Gloves Review

I chose size XL and they fit perfectly. My palm is 4 inches which is the length of XL gloves. I also tried on the XXL and found it about half an inch too big. In the photo gloves xl.

These gloves were small, but to make matters worse, they had a seam that went right where my palms met the bars. You hurt my hands. I was better off without her. I returned them and bought $13 gloves that worked great. In fact, I got two pairs for the price of one giro pair. Giro sells its name for a very low quality product.

I've had other pairs of greasy gloves over the years. This model has an overlapping seam at the crease between the thumb and forefinger, right where I pinch the hoods, which puts pressure on that part of my arm. Most of this pressure goes directly to the seam. It's uncomfortable and unbearable after a few hours. I had to go on a long journey without gloves. It's such a serious design flaw that I don't understand how these gloves even came to market in this way. upset.

I normally wear a size L but the first pair I bought was too small. They are very small so order more than usual. Or even better: don't order at all! The next pair, in size XL, was "tight" but still fit. However, after my first first ride, the fabric ripped when I took them off. I have been an avid cyclist for over 30 years and have worn more gloves than I can remember. Gloves usually last for me for several years and several thousand kilometers. This is the worst thing I've ever seen.

Have been using the previous version for a few years and they are still in good condition but the velcro was always a bit of a nuisance - there wasn't enough velcro to secure it keep. The new version offers a larger contact patch to keep it in place and the entire glove has a slightly lower profile while retaining the same excellent padding. It's hard to tell if the new one is tighter than the previous one because the old ones have been worn out and stretched over time; However, I haven't…

Positive: The item ordered arrived on time. No defects. My last pair had a small hole in the stitching on the fingers. Sent back and ordered a different brand. Overall comfortable and offers great grip for MTN cycling. Cons: went back to Giro but they have changed the style of this glove, the leather seems to be the same but the fabric is much thinner, the size is smaller, overall the glove is smaller, the velcro now sticks to the Attaching the glove to the back of the fabric did not exist…

Updated October 13th Finally my fingers relaxed and now they fit perfectly. It takes a little effort to get your hand through the hole, but once in, it fits snugly. My current issue is that the velcro on the wrist straps keeps getting caught on the back of the glove when I take them off and leave them open. When I rip it off it goes over the glove. Just remember to close them every time. Original September headline: I have big hands for 5ft 9-10 inches but I would recommend 2Xl. XL is ok but…

Update: after just a few rides the seams on the fingers of one of the gloves came undone. I've never experienced that with the old Bravo design and these gloves have been worn dozens of times and washed after almost every ride. Maybe it's just a single flaw, but gloves that start falling apart after a few rides don't deserve more than one star. I have been using Giro Bravo gloves for many years and they are very comfortable and durable. I have four old pairs that have been machine washed dozens
