Pearl Izumi Women's Select Glove

As a new biker, these were my first ever biking gloves. They were true to size and great value. I ordered a small and they fit perfectly (my hands are normally proportioned and i wear a 5.5 ring on my ring finger). It did take some time to break these in. I have now ridden ~100 miles in them, mostly hills. My only complaint (and why my review lost 1 star) is that when going downhill, my hands slide a little in them and they put a lot of pressure in between my fingers. This has gotten better as I've broken them in. The cushioning on the palms is just right and the mesh on the back is breathable and perfect. Overall, I would buy these again in a heartbeat.

These gloves are great! I use them everyday at work. They're comfy and durable. Although, some people complained about the size, but I don't have any problems. I feel like people don't really know that much about glove sizes. With that said, my hands are about 6 and a 1/2 inches long (Measuring from the start of the palm of my hand to the tip of my longest finger.) I bought a large and it fits perfect. I'm not sure if that would help anyone get the right glove size or not, but hey if it helps then good and if not...then I'm sorry. By the way, do NOT go by your clothing size in order to pick gloves cause it doesn't always match. I wear mediums and smalls yet I needed large gloves. These gloves are really great though...when bought in the right size.

I saw the reviews about there not being enough padding for the road...I wonder if they don't have enough tape on their bars or bad grips? The padding for me at least seems to be just perfect. I ride about 10-20miles at a time (working my way to 50)so these really help my hands handle the long rides. There is a noticeable difference in vibration dampening from riding with these vs without them. I don't even feel most vibrations when I ride with these gloves and they are certainly better than the cheapos I had before. Just watch out for the sizing since as everyone says these tend to run on the small side. I got the mediums which are a snug perfect fit and I have small hands. I can't think of anything bad to say about them. When I forget to pack them for riding, they are very much missed and I find I don't ride as far without them.

This is my first pair of biking gloves so I don't have much of a basis for comparison. I got them because I was having numbness in my pinky fingers after forty or fifty minutes of urban biking, and I read on the internet that gel-cushioned gloves would help with that.They have helped, though I still get numbness-- just not as much. I almost wish there was MORE padding, but I'm not sure if that would interfere with the ability to safely grip the handlebars.The other nice feature of these is that they have a good gripping texture.Also - I find that even after the sweatiest of rides they dry pretty quickly if I turn them inside out when I take them off.

I lost track of my biking gloves & didn't want to spend a lot to replace them, I just wanted something to protect my fingers, I rode my bike with nothing on my hands like I'd always done & got some kind of discolored bump on the inner knuckle of the 2nd finger on my right hand & it's still there after 2 years, so I don't need heavy padding since I'm only taking weekly rides of maybe a mile both ways on sidewalks & streets. I got a large since I know my hands are a bit big, I had to struggle to get into them. I plan to try stretching them out by putting them on & wetting them & then flexing my hands, with the heat here it shouldn't take too long for them to dry. So I'm hoping they'll fit better but I wish they had an extra large or 2x option if the larges are this small.

As another reviewer said, measure your hand and buy based on that. I was right inbetween a large and a medium. I have found that I think I like the large better because it has a little more give for me inbetween the fingers. Both work great but know that the padding is a little thinner than what most cyclers expect. I'm fine with it but you might not be. I love the shorter wrist style for summer and find it comfortable. I'll order another set of Pink in a large.

These gloves are lovely. They are well made and look awesome. After reading some of the reviews, I was really scared that they would not fit (I ordered black medium, because everything I wear is medium). Well, I must say that they fit perfectly, and I am happy I did not go for large. Can hardly wait to go for some bike riding and try them out.I was lucky with sizing I guess, but here is a tip: Measure your hand (around at the widest point of your palm, thumb not included). If you are 6.25-7.25 inches, go for the small ones. If you are over 8 inches, go for the large ones. My hand is 7.25.

With some upgraded cork bar tape, they work well with my road bike. I purchased these as an Add-on Item for an extremely low price, so I feel like I got a good deal. I do use these while I'm biking, and they've held up well. If you're looking for something with a lot of padding, I might suggest something else. They are a good light glove and work well to protect my hands and provide extra grip.

Esperaba mas de este producto por la marca. No vienen muy acojinados para mis manos, después de varias horas en bicicleta se tornan incómodos, se deformaron fácilmente.
