Customer Reviews: | Average Customer Review: Write an online review and share your thoughts with other customers. MODERATE CONFORT. Aug 04, 2008 IT'S OK. MAYBE A LITTLE SOFT FOR A GREAT CUSHION AND PROTECTION, THE MATERIAL ARE OK, AND FITS VERY WEEL. 5 of 5 found the following review helpful: Comfortable junk Jun 22, 2008 Gloves have become a real sore issue with me, because unlike my mid-'80's vintage leather gloves with a knit cotton back, the bicycling gloves today are all made of synthetic materials that seem to be chosen for the lowest cost, rather than function. I threw my 80's glove away as I never did wear them out. Big mistake!!! Don't get me wrong, my Kevlar wakeboarding gloves are all synthetic too and are absolutely bomb-proof, but turn any glove inside out these days and you will see a dozen little snippets of polyurethane "cloth" sewn together with horrific workmanship padded by stuff you put between your camper shell and pickup bed. As for these gloves in particular, after a single 80 mile ride with about 4,000 ft of climbing on a very hot day the gel pads were completely collapsed - in the very first outing!!! My riding partner bought the same gloves for about half the price I paid from the PI outlet store and his collapsed on the same ride, and we both ride very padded handlebars. The best part about these gloves is the design of the pads (NOT the implementation, for sure) which are the best I have found at preventing numbness. Too bad PI can't find a good source for actual leather, a few seamstresses who can sew a glove's 2-3 required seams, (gloves, like boots, should have a few seams as possible) and some actual Spenco quality gel. A note to glove designers (assuming they aren't all designed my marketing idiots) the seams, in general, should be on the OUTSIDE of the gloves, so the edges don't stick into your hands and fingers. Before you buy your next pair of gloves, turn them inside out. I think you will be stunned at the garbage the industry is putting out. In summary. These gloves are state-of-the art, PATHETIC! PS: I would genuinely appreciate a recommendation from readers if they know of a really good pair of gloves.
