used regularly about 5 days a week 150- 200 miles
they wear like steel
Had these gloves before and liked them. Just wanted a new (reflective) color.
The padding seems designed for holding on to straight bars rather than drops. The only time it felt comfortable was when climbing a hill with my hands on top near the center. Gloves also feel heavy. They're probably very nice for a mountain bike, but I think the description should indicate this.
road biking. good glove
Padding is in all the right spots, wipe service doesn't get crusty and they wash up like new every time. Pearl Izumi understands bicyclists!
I wear gloves mainly as hand protection in case I crash. My requirements are just good fit and these fit well and look good.
I use these on my longer rides. Very comfortable, no tingle in hands. Also like the look.
This glove provides excellent cushioning and does not lose it's grip on a wet bar wrap.
I'll certainly purchase a second pair down the road.
Pads on startegic spots prevent numbness. THe fit of XL was just right and they are very lightweight.
Normally ride 5 days per week 150 to 200 miles
The colors fad a bit but they wear like iron
Fit is perfect & the gel is well positioned and very effective.
Comfortable even for extended time in the saddle.
Very happy with these gloves. I intentionally chose the XL size and this worked out well. Each time I put them on they are a tad loose but after riding in the heat of Texas they fit fine. They are comfortable and look good.
Padding is generous and in the right spots. They appear better made than the Pearl Elite gloves.
Glove has an excellent fit and comfortable to wear. Pearl Izumi is a great product.
These lasted about three months, before some of the stitching started to pull out. I sent them back to Pearl Izumi for warranty replacement, and was sent long fingered Cyclone gel gloves as a replacement. I live in Texas, which means I wear long fingered gloves like... never? Rather than waste more of my time, I'm keeping the replacement gloves to use when riding my motorcycle, and won't buy PI gloves again. Lifetime warranties are only as good as they are executed...
If your number one priority is visibility for safety, try out the Pearl Izumi Men's Select Glove in screaming yellow. Without question, my hand signals are very apparent. And I was pleasantly surprised about its other qualities. The snug fit (at least for me) was comfortable. In summer, I bike in hot and humid conditions yet there is sufficient aeration to keep my hands dry. And these gloves allow a flexible, firm and comfortable grip. I could ask for no more. In other reviews, some folks mentioned that the gloves are difficult to take off. I simply pull them off from the wrist . Of course, this leaves them inside out, but it is easy to invert them. Thanks to WesterBikeWorks, who offered these gloves at a sale price that made them an easy choice.
They were on sale so I added them to my collection of bike gloves. I was anxious to try them after seeing all the negative reviews about the under wrist closure. For me, they are very comfortable. I really like the fact that when wiping my face and mouth the closure is out of the way on bottom and not scratching my face. I will now only buy gloves with this new under the wrist closure.
Used during 20 mile rides 5 times a week. Hole has developed already where the finger and hand meat. Large size fits extremly tight.
Will order x-lg next time.
You can't go wrong with these. My last pair finally wore out after many years of complete abuse, so I treated myself to a new pair. These fit and feel great and I love the color selection. Don't waste your money on a cheap pair. For just a couple of dollars more you get these Pearls.
For commuting, is great. Not usable for winterrain obviously.
