Pearl Izumi
Men's Elite Gel Glove

Most cycling gloves are great when they are brand new, but after a few washes they go down hill quickly. These are better than most, standing up to many dozens of washes quite well.

The velcro is of high quality and has yet to stop sticking. The gel is still gel, unlike many gloves I've had where the gel dries up and starts cracking. They fit comfortably with no pressure points.

The only issue I've had is that the reflective tape on the back comes unglued and is only connected at the sewn seam. Otherwise, they have been great.

Be careful with the black gloves on the first couple of washes. The black dye will leach out and into your other clothing. Wash with solid black apparel only for at least 2-3 washes.

I buy several pairs of these every year. They fit well and they last. Great value!

When you are out over 4K miles on the bike in an 8 or 9 month period, you are going to need great gloves and these fit the bill. All gloves are NOT created equal. Your hands are busy during a ride, so, give them and your associated nerves the comfort they need!

Can't say they are better than any other gloves I have had, but they do look cool. Would not have purchased unless they were discounted, and that was a good call.

Very well constructed. Most comfortable glove Ive owned. Love the design and materials, but thats expected from anything Pearl Izumi. The heat transfer reflective material came loose on my first ride, but I wasnt really looking for reflective properties anyway. I think it was just a fluke, but thats why I didnt give 5 stars. Price is up there, but worth it. They really do feel luxurious on my hands. The fit was spot on for me. Im not a small handed person. My hands are average, possibly slightly larger than average. I bought size large.

I have been using these for a couple years and they are my favorite.

Nicely designed for comfort and the colors stand out which adds some safety. Easier to put on than to take off. Very comfortable. Good grip and excellent cushion pads in the right places.

Durable, visible reflective parts, just the right amount of padding.

This is my favorite glove so far and I don't have anything negative to say about it other than wait until a year or so to see if it'll stay in shape like my giro glove or wear out like my specialized. I like giro but wanted to try PI, something new, to see if it'll withstand the test of time.

I bicycle about 3,000 miles per year. The Elite Gel Glove contributes to good blood circulation to the hands on long rides.

these gloves are light ,very breathable and have the padding where you need it. Good summer riding glove

Can get tight into the webbing of my fingers, but these are a good glove for the price.

Comfortable and holds up

I've been wearing the Pearl Izumi Men's Elite Gel Gloves since before I bought my first road bike... Yes, that's not an error, I wore them as a mountain biker as well. But for ROAD gloves, they are the only gloves I will wear. I ride 5,000 miles a year in an area that lets me ride all year long. So I'm pretty hard on gloves. The Elite Gel Gloves are the most comfortable I've found and hold up well.

These gloves are comfortable right from the start. However, after a handful of rides, the strip of tape (reflective, I think) has come loose on one of the gloves. I may have to cut it off if it gets too annoying.

Great gloves for those long rides to help keep my hands from getting numb, Also changed my handlebar to a compact 125mm drop, 80mm reach, silicone gel handlebar tape combine all these together and I get the best vibration dampening!! Also I ride all year long because of the weather in Hawaii!

I have been cycling for 35 years and these are the best especially when on sale Gel padding is great cushion.

Gloves are the best thing to happen to me since bike shorts. I had no idea a ride could be so smooth without compromising on feel. You will not regret buying gloves, size is everything.

These gloves are outstanding when temperatures are above 60F

I use them for roadbikeing
