Review by Wharf rat
Gloves slipped all over my hands especially when riding a mountain bike (paved trail). The issue has lessened with more use. The gel pads were not that big of an improvement over P.I.'s select gloves. I purchased a pair of select gloves at the same time and will save some money by sticking with them the next time I purchase. I think a strap at the wrist would improve the performance of the gel gloves. The select gloves include this feature.

Extremely tight for me in size large, so even though PI large fits me 99% of the time, because these have no velcro they have to be very tight. Once I squeeze into them they are comfortable but they're so hard to put on/off that I default to my gloves with velcro.
Review by Biddler
I use these gloves for every day riding 20-35 mile rides. But I bought them to use for the longer and up to Century rides as my go to glove. When up in the saddle all day you need every bit of vibration dampening possible. But I really like the snug fit without being too tight. A little bit of wiggling needed to get off but its not too hard.

The padding on these gloves is thinner than I usually prefer, but the padding is wider and better located for comfort. They are holding up well so far, and I use them for all my bike riding (gravel, road, track).

We have lots of rough roads in SE New Mexico so gloves are pretty much a must. Ordered large size but couldn't get them on so had to exchange them for Xtra large, which were still tight. Struggle to get them off. Other than that they seem quality, but I expected more for the price.

Bought this glove strictly on the color, blue. Has no loosening mechanism to get on and off. After riding for several hour the glove is a bit difficult to get off. Maybe a good thin as I wash the gloves after each use. These are holding up pretty well.

I've purchased about 50 pair of cycling gloves and never had a pair that stopped pain in my hands, until now. The Pearl Izumi Pro Gel Gloves fit perfectly with no Velcro and the gel makes for the most comfortable rides I've ever had. Now these get an A+.

Overall I like this glove, though it does seem to offer a little less padding/comfort than some other PI gloves. Also, on bike removal, because there are no straps, can be awkward. Fits the same as other PI gloves.

I've been using the prior generation of pro gel glove, the vented one with the velcro strap. Liked those just fine, but these are an improvement.
Actually easier to get on and off
More Aerodynamic
Better palm surface, on the prior generation the gel pads started to delaminate from the glove
Review by Big O
Great gloves that fit perfectly, lightweight and no velcro. Don't know why most gloves come with velcro adjustable cuffs. If the glove fits properly its completely unnecessary. Pearl Izumi quality also a plus. Will need to order more pairs of these to keep in the rotation.
Review by KatieJo
A bit hard to take off since no finger pull tabs. But after several uses they stretch a bit and removal gets easier.
No velcro strap to snug them up so be sure to order the right size. I have small hands and the large size fits perfectly. Just enough padding in just the right spots.

I use a lot of PI products for road riding. Once you snug this pair on, they fit comfortably and provide good padding during the ride. Because they don't have a velcro strap, they need to be tugged on and off. But they come with little assist-straps to help with this. One of the big upsides is how easy they are to wash in the sink. With a drop or two of Dawn and warm water, they clean up quickly and smell fresh for the next ride.

I really like the minimalist padding and snug fit. Closest feel to no glove at all

What do you expect from gloves? These met and exceeded my expectations. True to size, and work as advertised. Durable as well
Review by Jerry
Fine pair of gloves. Fit well and have kept their shape after a few washings.
Review by JohnB
These gloves are easy to get on and off. They are the perfect thickness for me and i find them very comfortable. I would buy them again.
Review by NM Berkeley
Got these to replace a pair of suede-y gel padded Velcro closure Giros and am very satisfied with these gloves. Ordered my usual size- L- and they fit perfectly. Snug but not uncomfortable, and the lack of a strap means they stay put with no need to fiddle during a ride. Clever little tabs on the fingers to facilitate removing the gloves.
