Smooth roads. Bike Setup:
Giant TCR Alliance T-Mobile 2008. Summary:
Admittedly, I bought these gloves mostly because they looked awesome and the fit/cut was awesome. Unfortunately, they were horrible in use.
Ironically, the problem was the 'strategically' placed gel padding. These are supposed to absorb shocks and bad vibes from the road but instead apply painful levels of pressure to my hand. They are too thick and hard, so when my hands are on the handlebar or hoods they are supported only by the small patches of padding. Thus, rather than spread the load across my entire hand the padding concentrated it to the sensitive points on my hand where they were 'strategically' placed bringing unbearable pain. Very much to my relief, I was able to return the pair I bought.
If this glove instead had the same padding as my cheap Louis Garneau gloves, I'd buy it again purely on looks and fit. However, the gel padding was such a let down, that I can't even give it points for its looks and fit. Strengths:
Looks, fit. Weaknesses:
Uncomfortable - the padding puts painful levels of pressure on my hands' sensitive points. Similar Products Used:
The cheapest Louis Garneau ErgoAir glove (no model name).
