Pretty darned tight

These gloves fit smaller than I expected. Despite that I kept them, and like them, because of the nice gel padding and quality.

Thank you for your feedback.

Very comfortable glove

I ordered the XL, my usual size. I was slightly concerned at the snugness when they arrived, but they have proven themselves to be very comfortable on long road rides.

Thank you for your feedback.

Solid - will by more

It's a bit stiff and heavier feeling at first. After a couple of weeks and a few washes they loosen up. Using them on gravel and mtb rides. Good padding with out being bulky. Enough material to wipe the grit of your face.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good value gloves

Everyone says these run small. I'm usually a size large glove, so I ordered XL for this round. I think they fit OK - definitely usable, but I think my usual size L would have been fine (and gloves tend to stretch a little during break in). Outside of that, the gel on the palm feels nice and they look like they'll hold up just fine.

Thank you for your feedback.

They run on the small size

I am a medium but these are large and tight.

work fine, but hard to put on or take off

I was replacing an old set of the same glove. I ordered the same model and size. The new glove has much less elastic and is therefore hard for me to put on or take off. Maybe in this newer version I needed the XL instead of the large, but my hands are not very large. Once I have them on, they work just fine.

Thank you for your feedback.

They seem too small, but going to give them a try.

These gloves are well made, but they fit quite small. I think they will break in over time, but if you're in any doubt consider upsizing your order. I wear a medium glove (for everything glove related) and these gloves would be more comfortable (probably) if I had ordered large. Over time I think it will be ok, but if you like a looser fit definitely upsize one size.

Thank you for your feedback.

Sizing is too small

I have had good luck with Giro products such as their helmets. These gloves fell short. If the fit were decent, I like the light material and palm padding. The problem is the size. My hand size is typically between medium and large. To play it safe, I ordered large. The gloves are so tight and constraining as they are unusable.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent gloves

These gloves fit, well, like a glove. They fit perfectly. No pinching the fingers, easy to put on and off. Protect the hands very well. The velcro closure fits fine. The gloves protect your hands well. And they look really good. I've been buying other more expensive gloves for many years and these are better. I would buy again. No cons.

Thank you for your feedback.

Disappointingly small

I bought these on sale for a good price, ordered Large like I do for almost all my gloves (except Castelli). They're seriously too small, can barely get them and off. There is No Way they'd be comfortable for even a 5-minute ride. Soo disappointed in Giro on this product!

Really comfortable gloves at a great price that fit my hands

I have pretty small hands but these gloves in a size small fit me perfectly. The gloves should be a little tight to begin with but will break in after a ride or so. You can find cheaper gloves but those tend to be pretty shoddy in construction and most of the time don't have gel inserts. I find these gloves to be really comfortable while providing protection. Like most cycling apparel was in a delicate bag and air dry since they can get kind of rank after a bunch of rides.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great gloves - favorites

These are great gloves which have the right padding in the right places for riding. The only negative thing is that the black palms run black water all over the place when you wash them.

Thank you for your feedback.

Gonna buy again

I love this glove and have had a pair for 3 years! Its time they get replaced but only because I cycle a lot in the sun and they are a bit faded and the gel is worn some. They still fit well and have held together excellently! I wash them on cold after each ride and hang them to dry. I ride over a thousand miles a year and this pair get used most of my rides but about 3 months. Im here now buying a second pair!

Thank you for your feedback.

Good quality, not true sizing

These are nice gloves especially for the price. They run quite a bit small. I ordered mediums and they fit like small. Hoping they'll stretch over time. I'd suggest ordering a size up.

Comfortable, durable gloves

Great overall gloves and good value from BTD. Wish they had more of a sweat absorbing surface like most gloves these days.

I didn't receive the gloves I ordered

I've ordered from a few different places and have received the wrong gloves each time. I ordered an older version, and that is the one I wanted but each time did not receive. Both companies offered a partial refund if I kept the gloves. So now I have 2 pairs I don't want and am still looking for the ones I do want. It's a hassle to return things, and I wish these companies would make sure their descriptions were accurate.
