I was really disappointed that the back was cut out on these gloves. It wasn't visible in the pictures. I want the sun protection on my hands and there was none here. The material felt nice on the hand and they seemed to be well made. They are a very minimalistic glove, which I hope is appreciated by the person I give them to at Christmas. Future buyers would be aware that there is a narrow plastic strap at the wrist and no material across the top of the hand above the knuckles.
I cycle 3 days a week and wearing good gloves is very important. The ability to wipe one's nose is too!
