Reviews
road bike or cross bike; 3 season. I don't find these or any other synthetic gloves to my liking. The last good gloves I had were Pearl Izumi with acara leather. Lasted forever and felt great. These gloves are Ok. Don't look like they last very long. Comfort is Ok. I only bought these gloves because you don't sell leather gloves anymore! What is up with that?
Have used these gloves for multiple 2 - 3 hour rides. The gloves have well positioned padding that is not too bulky. An excellent glove for smooth and packed gravel surfaces, but may not prove sufficient to absorb more unforgiving cobbles or a similar challenging surface. The fingers are sufficiently tight to keep the gloves in place, but not so restrictive as to be difficult to take off. They are holding up well with use. I gave a not quite ideal rating on value due to the overall price of gloves. However, these were a great deal on sale.
I bought these gloves for their padding because sometimes my hands go a bit numb on long rides. I never considered the "anatomy" of my handlebars as a factor. It was! I commute on a standard commuting bike with straight handlebars, and on that bike the padding is properly located to absorb shocks. On my road/racing bike, the padding is incorrectly located to provide absorption of road generated shock with my hands at rest on the flat portion of the handlebar. Something to consider for my next set of gloves! I can't downgrade my score: they are nice gloves and work great on a straight handlebar. They just don't work with a curved road handlebar.
After 10+ years of exemplary service, my Louis Garneau gloves are finally wearing out. I never expected any glove to last that long, but those mitts just wouldn't quit. I have a pair of Giro Strade Dure Supergel Gloves that I used at gravel events for the past couple seasons. They are very good gloves, but the padding is pretty thick, too thick for road use maybe. So I thought I'd try some of the other Giro offerings. First up was the Giro Supernatural - the fit was much tighter than other Giro gloves and the fingers were really short, like only half way up to your first knuckle short. Next attempt was the Giro Monaco Two - first use resulted in black dye stains on my palms. Washed and tried again (twice) resulting in stained palms both times. Fortunately I washed them separately so nothing else got ruined. Next try was at the opposite end of the price spectrum - the Giro Jag. They are cheap, and poorly made. Seams started to fail after the second ride. Finally ordered another pair of Giro Strade Dure Supergel Gloves and I have been using them for road riding. They are well made, fit (me) well, they're washable and I am getting used to the extra comfort the Supergel padding provides. If you don't mind a little extra cushioning, these gloves are a good option.
I have enjoyed wearing these Giro gloves when riding my recumbent trike. Good looking glove with plenty of padding that's quite comfortable for my arthritic hands. They're very well made as I would expect from Giro. It's nice to see that the velcro fasteners are solidly stitched on, rather than glued as some I've seen in the past. I bought the medium size and I like the snug fit. 5'8", 160#
Sizing small. i'm 8.5 wrist circumference and have always been a M. Sizing chart says M. M was too tight. swapped for M/L. Still tight but better. Quite a bit of work to get on and off. "Gel" padding didn't feel that way at all. Padding is thin and doesn't seem to be in the right places. Hands were completely numb or tingling all the time. I can't seem to find gel padding even close to what companies used to put out. This does not have a terry cloth thumb for those who use it--something like a thin faux leather. There is a leather seam that runs along the index finger so if you have to wipe your nose, you scratch your nose. Materials good quality otherwise. Velcro strip at wrist is small but strong. I got 2 pair at good sale price, so will just keep them.
I've used these gloves primarily for road biking I got the Super Gel version because I have rheumatoid arthritis and I needed extra padding for my hands. When I first starting using them, my hands became numb pretty quickly. It took awhile to find the sweet zone for placing my hands on the dropped handlebars, but I eventually did find it. To be fair to the gloves, I'm just a large tad out of shape and lean on the handlebars way too much. But I am liking them more and more every ride. You may find them to your liking if your core muscles are stronger than mine and you don't lean too hard on the handlebars. I recommend them.
Make sure you're a gold member to get best price. I replace cheaper Giro gloves with these as I needed more padding. Placement of padding is perfect, wrist strap Velcro works well. Amongst best gloves I've used.
Brought these on sale and the glove works well. I have small hands and my Medium size is pretty good. I had some mishap with one order and BikeTireDirect was quick to fix the issue! Very great customer service and product!
As all the other reviews indicate, there is a lot of padding. Not sure I fined them anymore comfortable than other gloves I own with less padding. Like bike saddles, more padding does not necessarily mean better. Only other thing I will add that has not been mentioned in other reviews, they feel a little warm for hot weather cycling. Maybe its the black fabric on top of the glove (I have two pair) or the fabric is slightly heavier. On days when the temps are going to get close to 85 or 90 degrees, I tend to pick a cooler pair of gloves. Again, not a criticisms, just an observations.
