Heads up that the gloves fit very small. I recommend using the glove sizing chart on Giro's website; the one here is incorrect. My palm circumference is just under 9", which would be either a Medium or Large, per the BTD chart. I can barely squeeze my hand in the Large and have no shot with the Medium. I measured the circumference of the Large at it is 8"--there is no way someone measuring 9 3/4 could ever fit their hand in.
I let BTD support know and they told me I was wrong. Oh well. Use the Giro site for correct sizing.
I've been wearing the Giro Bravo gloves for 4-5 years. They are my favorite gloves for temps of 50-55 degrees. Comfortable and durable. Very breathable but still warm. I ride quite a bit when the weather is cool and a pair will last me a year and a half to two years.

They're a really good spring time glove and great for road or trail rides. I like that they have padding. The fit, comfort and durability are great! I bought two more pair and one for my girlfriend and she loves 'em.
Using size chart in listing, I ordered M and couldn't get them on. BTD exchanged for L, and I can get the first glove one, but then the Velcro grabs the fingers trying to put 2nd glove on. Also grabs the back of glove.
Once on, they still feel quite small, but OK. Padding placement doesn't do much for me - may be personal choice.
I've used these gloves for 5 gravel rides in cold to warm weather and they protected my hands well from bushes on the side of the trail, and were comfortable thright the ride. Great value compared to other full finger padded gloves. I'm buying another pair!
I use these for mountain trail riding here in the Rocky Mountains. I carry a warmer winter glove in my pack for when the temp dips below mid 40's F. They are quite comfortable and seem very durable. I used the sizing guide which had me in a medium but exchanged them for a large. All good after that. Works fine with cell phone. Padding is suffice.
I just these on the MTB. Usually a fan of the quality behind Giro's products and these gloves are exactly what I was looking for. The fit well and the gel padding is just enough to keep hands comfy all day. Highly recommend these.
I own a couple pairs of Giro gloves and both use the same harsh Velcro which adheres itself to any part of the glove it touches and both pairs have tears near where the Velcro is sewn onto the back of the glove where it's quickly ripped them from having to get the Velcro off, to get into them. If they would figure out a better closure solution, these would be great, but after 4 or 5 rides, my "new" gloves are pretty much destroyed.
I bought these in Xtra Large. That is the size I need for all my gloves. These were immediately painfully tight. I couldn't keep them on for more than 2 minutes. They might be great gloves but if this is the largest they come in, I will never know. I kept them to pass on as a Christmas present instead of returning them, but buyer beware -- get a size or two bigger if you wish to wear these.
Gravel and MTB (more Gravel). There are gravel rides that require only a thin set of gloves for grip. Then there are gravel rides that will deliver some punishment. These gloves are my go to for the second type of gravel. Also great for chunky MTB routes too!
Giro Bravo are the best, most comfortable general purpose gloves I have. They are the Go To glove for shoulder seasons. While they are not warm or even water resistant, they are perfect for 40-60 degree days. I would highly recommend them
