Strengths: very comfortableWeaknesses: terrible build quality (maybe my pair is the first from Vietnam)Bottom Line: Dispite the reviews here, my pair isn't well made. Shameful build quality - this was my (also my girlfriend's) first impression when opened the bag. None of the threads are sewed up. The leather looks like used.
These gloves are very comfortable, no palm numbness and overheating. The wiping surface is very soft but small. Be careful, the mesh fabric on the back is "reacting" with the velcro.

Strengths: well made, good fitWeaknesses: dye bleeds, overpricedBottom Line: I bought these gloves based on the reviews I read here. While they are well made, fit well, and will probably hold up better than a lot of gloves, my experience with them was less than positive. On a weeklong camping tour (the BRAT in Tennessee) I found them to be no better than my much cheaper Louis Garneau gloves. I made the mistake of putting them in with a bag of dirty clothes and the black dye bled all over an expensive yellow jersey, ruining it. A hand washing of the gloves filled the basin with a lot more of the black dye, and the smell from the gloves was that of the dye, not my hand perspiration. Conclusion: I cannot recommend these gloves. The Garneau's fit just as well, are well made, and cost about two-thirds as much ($25 compared with $40).

Strengths: Well constructed, good fitWeaknesses: Dyes bleed in wash and elsewhere if put with other clothesBottom Line: I bought these gloves on recommendations here and found them adequate, but not superior to other less expensive ones that I use. On a weeklong camping ride where I put them in with some dirty clothes I found that the black dyes in the gloves had bled on to one of my jerseys and ruined it. Washing them by hand later I noticed black dye running everywhere, and the smell from the gloves was terrible. I'll stick with my Loius Garneau's in the future. Would not recommend the Giro's.

a CommuterDate Reviewed: September 9, 2010
Strengths: Comfortable fit and breathability on the palm and the back of the hand.Weaknesses: Not very durable - the Giro logo trim on the velcro tab coming loose after just 500km and a dozen hand washes; mesh fabric on the back of the hands had fluffed up.Bottom Line: Got them for 3 months/ 500km+/ a dozen hand washes now and they're great fit (size M) and very comfortable. I supposed the 14 pieces of different fabrics and Pittard leathers per glove make up for a very shapely and snug glove that best exemplify the idiom "fits like a glove".
I live commute and ride for fitness in the hot and humid Bangkok and my hands never felt overheated in them - good ventilation.
The terry wipes around the thumbs are so absorbent I don't need a separate handkerchief.
Price Paid:
$36.00
Purchased At: ProBike (Bangkok)
Similar Products Used: Specialized were my first pair of cycling mitts and they weren't comfy in terms of fit and breathability, the (non-gel) palm padding useless after a month.

Strengths: comfortable, light, never experience numbness, ever.Weaknesses: non..Bottom Line: I splurged for this glove early last year and can confidently say that it was well worth it. I've taken extra care to upgrade gloves, shoes, helmet and shades. Good gloves are definitely the way to go. these are durable, comfortable, wear well for hours and wash up well...
