Review on Pearl Izumi Men's Select Glove: Ultimate Performance and Comfort for Active Men by Dawson Schmidt

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Made to measure for gloves, mittens and liners

I used to love these but there is something wrong with this pair. I've liked this glove for a long time. Earlier this year I had a bad accident and the gloves were destroyed, but the gloves tore in a way that didn't tear my hands when I slipped over the cement. The gloves saved my hands that day. Before that they had pads in the right places which really helped get rid of numbness while riding. I was wearing XL gloves that I bought from REI. Bought a pair to replace ones lost in an accident. Same model. Same size. And they didn't fit. They were too small. So I came to this list to get XXL. Same model. 1 size larger. These XXLs fit just like my REI XLs, not too tight. Not too loose. But the padding was in the wrong places, it was sewn onto the outside of the palm where it didn't do anything to hold the steering wheel. Also, the gasket itself didn't look like a gasket. He just crouched in a hard spot, which was even more uncomfortable than without gloves. Something wrong. The same gloves from REI (which no longer wear this model) fit better and have more useful padding. The two different sizes I received from Revain were very different.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Protection
