Giro
Monaco II Gel Glove

Great padding, but run small...

I bought these to replace some cheap ones that wore out prematurely. They worked well on a recent week-long trek. My hand is really a medium, but the mediums were far too tight. I returned them and got large which are still a bit tight.

The glove is very well padded. The fit is snug which I prefer. It is also a very good looking glove.

I don't feel like I have big hands, but to echo other reviewers, order a size (or two) larger than you may usually order.

I like the leather palms and placement thickness of the padding. The breathable fabric on the back of the hand completes a comfortable & functional design. The tight fit and lack of finger pull will teach you patience as you go to remove the gloves after a long ride.

I will buy another pair, just the next size up.

The glove has exceptionally good padding. I like the vibrant colors and the soft leather palm. I like the glove's tight fit. I have three pairs in different colors.

Long rides can be hard on the hands when you lean on the handlebars. The Giro Monaco II Gel Glove provides superior padding in the right places to prevent wear and tear while relieving pressure.

Its like Im not even wearing gloves

I use this glove for road cycling. Typically ride 150 to 200 miles a week. The padding on the palm helps relieve the compression of the ulnar nerve. A pair lasts me about 6 months through multiple washings. The cloth on the thumb is useful for wiping sweat from the face. The only problem I have had is with those with black material that bleeds through to the hands the first few times they are used.

I wear these only for rides over 50 miles as they have caused me to only rely on them for necessity.

When I first received these, they were a little tight, but felt great. After only a few sweaty rides they started hardening when dry, despite my handwashing. Even leather conditioner has not helped much. I still squeeze my hands into them to get my money's worth and eventually they soften up enough to be decently comfortable. The black palms stain my hands to this day, after hundreds of hours in them.

I expected an improvement over the original Monacos, and have seen only better quality control and slightly better durability.

Picked these up for the gel padding and namequality. I'm very happy with them for summer gloves. Wore them on the Crater Lake Century this year, and my hands did well in them. Washed them multiple times and they continue to hold up.

Ordered my normal XL size glve and these are very difficult to put on, they feel at least a size small, so just a word to the wise to watch what size you order. Nice gloves, no issues with quality

Leather feels a bit thin, less durable than previous pair i used for almost 30,000 miles. Color fades dramatically when washed.

These gloves fit true to size and fit exceptionally well. They have such a comfortable feel and the Grip and comfort is unreal. Recommended.

Very good gloves lots of padding, my wife loves them, they feel good but I prefer gloves that don't have velcro straps. I have a bad wrist and it feels without straps.

Read a lot of good reviews of this gloves and they are spot on! Used them once so far and the fit and finish are excellent so is sizing!

Nice gloves....Order a size bigger. I've always worn a medium for any gloves I have ever worn, but I needed to send these back for a large.

Comfortable and fits well. The gel is placed right where you need it for optimal comfort. Made very well.

Bought these for everyday riding. They fit well, seem true to size (I bought a large and they fit as expected) and appear to be high quality. Padding is good, not too thick but comfortable on longer rides. I've only used them for a couple months, but based on limited experience they look like they will hold up well.

I especially like the loops on fingers to pull glove off. Nicely padded palm also
