Good material, snug fit and smooth, i could have gone a size bigger.
They are great they fit good seem pretty solid construction no complaints so far ????
These are nice well padded gloves but the sizing is extremely small. I've got large hands and in most brands XL is fine. These were way too tight. I ended up giving them to my son and he likes them.
I have had several pairs of these gloves in the past, but I was hesitant because of the reviews that said that they fell apart after only a few rides. I have several hundred miles on them and they have no sign of wear to date.
My hands measured in the middle of the range for the medium size. I could not even get my hands into a medium sized glove. The large size are quite snug and have to be peeled off with the finger pulls.
The gloves are quite durable and provide a good padded feel on the bars. I would buy them again. Large size of course??
I bought 3 pairs of these in different colors...Look like good quality... The padded side is almost gummy.. definitely non-slip...They are as comfortable as any.... I haven't washed them yet..so I don't know how that will effect them..
The velcro frayed the glove fabric despite due diligence to avoid this. The dye stained my palms after summer rides. The gloves stiffened when washed by hand in cold water and left to air dry. Although the leather loosened during rides, it stiffened between rides until the leather split in the palms. They lasted a summer.
The gel in these gloves provide good comfort. Fit is excellent. It looks like they may begin wearing prematurely with the nylon portion beginning to curl around the ends of the finger holes. Can't tell for sure but seem not as durable as I'd like.
Order one size larger than normal.
The fit and design are perfect, color matches my bike. The gloves have a great feel and remove from my hands easily after a long ride. I'd buy them again.
I was prepared to purchase the XL gloves until I checked the sizing chart. Chart indicated that my size was between M and L, so I changed and ordered a L. The gloves were very tight to get on and after the ride they were almost impossible to get them off. So I wore the gloves for one ride. Now I need to find someone with very small hands that can use them. The gloves looked to be of good quality, but just WAY, WAY TOO SMALL!!!
The gloves are great, very comfortable with good padding. my problem with them is that I sweat a lot and the black dye from the leather stains the palm of my hand a deep black that takes several days before it comes off.
Best gloves I've worn from the best place to buy!
Great gloves that fit well and provide padding where required
Well made, good padding, excellent fit. Would definitely recommend
Love these gloves so much.. reordered 2 extra pairs. Well made, comfortable and easy to take off thanks to pulls on middle fingers!
Went through an old pair of Giro gloves and thought I'd try these. Fit perfectly. Love the tabs on the palm and fingers for easy off. Size runs a little smaller from previous Giro gloves, as had always worn M before. Had to return and get the L.
I ordered both the Giro Bravo and Monaco II gloves. They both fit well with the Monaco being a little tighter initially. There's a seam on the inside of the Bravo's thumb that was a little irritating until it was broken in a bit. The Monaco's fit was a little snug but with use it has broken in and is by far my favorite glove. I've used Pearl Izumi and Castelli in the past but these are certainly a step above those.
This is my 3rd or 4th pair of Giro half finger gloves over the years. They last me about two years, and sometimes 3. The thickness of the gel padding is very comfortable, I don't like gloves with thick padding as the pressure irritates my thumb area. I've tried other brands but always come back to these. They just fit and are comfortable to wear.
I've worn a number of different glove brands over the years, but the Giro Monaco gel gloves are easily the most comfortable, breathable, and well-made mitts I've ever worn. I'm getting a few more pairs before they run out!
