Pearl IZUMi Select Lavender Medium Review

I am the exception to the rule as I am not a cyclist. Instead I have an autoimmune disease on my hand and these gel in perfect place gloves are exceptional. This is my third pair as I wanted a fabulous pair like lavender! So thank you iZumi from an unusual buyer! I have recommended this brand on social media to other people who have the same condition.

I'm not a professional biker but after cycling less than 5 minutes I get blisters on my hands so I never ride without gloves. It's very comfortable and the padding hits all the right places. The other glove style, Pearl (Elite Gel), felt more breathable, but the padding wasn't as generous and oddly placed. They might be too warm for serious bikers, but perfect for casual riders like me.

gloves fit my hands well but my fingers are a bit tight. On the other hand, I'm at the top of the medium glove size chart and don't want the gloves to move too much while riding. I expect fingers to loosen up a bit and when I go up to the next size they end up being too loose. I love the fiery coral orange color. It really bangs. I got it because another reviewer said it almost glows in cloudy weather and they were right. Can't wait to try them on the bike as the padding seems to be in all the…

I bought the orange pair because I love orange. An unexpected bonus is that these gloves give your hands a "don't hit me" vibe on a cloudy, overcast day. Almost neon. Sooooo nice to see but you have to go outside on a cloudy day to see this colour. They fit as expected - I've worn large PI gloves in cool weather and cold weather and the large fit perfectly. The gel pads have been well placed to take pressure off the sensitive areas on your hands that can lead to numbness without proper padding.

I have no reason not to give these 5 stars other than wish they were cheaper! I read other reviews and bought a size up. I'm a size 6-6.5 and usually wear small, but a medium size works well for me. Otherwise the fingers would be too tight and the glove too short. I'm in a very hot sunny climate and didn't want black, but other than the thumb area the material turned out to be rather meshy and very cool. The glove is short and covers the hands but not over the wrist. See my photos. It's ok for…

Perfectly fitting women's cycling gloves, beautiful purple! The current photo for the lilac selection is teal, but I took a chance and got REALLY lilac. My 11 year old PI gloves are still holding up (but I use them sparingly) but it's time for a new pair. Other gloves bought since just don't hold up. I have rather LG hands for a lady and sometimes use men's gloves but the palm pads don't provide proper coverage. These women's XL gloves fit perfectly and the padding is exceptional. Just what I…

I have several pairs and I throw them in the washer and dryer so I always have a clean pair. They're not the ugly turquoise Revain shows when ordering; Rather, they are a beautiful lilac-purple shade of blue. I think they're cheaper because people don't buy that bad color so I'm saving money and thought about keeping the secret to myself. They have a nice stripe on the two middle fingers, which makes it easier to take off the gloves. They're the perfect pad for peloton rides, where they help me
