Wow , no glove reviews yet!! Well I just replaced some Giro bravo full finger gloves.

1st of all I like ventilated gloves for our warm temps, and like some palm padding. I do XC/trail riding, not a lot of chunk so knuckle protection not needed.

Shopped around and looked at Fox gel Rangers, and then saw these Pearl Iz gloves. They were a little more than I like to spend on gloves but the features were what I was looking for. A cool (pun intended) feature is the gel pads are perforated for ventilation and part of the top of the glove is lighter for more ventilation. The thumb and index fingers have the conductivity feature to use your phone too. The velcro tabs are on the outside part of the wrist which is the first time I've had this type. I prefer just having pull on type, but kind of minor.

These are pics after 2 rides. Will have to see how durable they are.

Here's the skinny on Pearl Izumi products...

You know that new discount mall they have in south Orange County - Outlets @ San Clemente? They have a Pearl Izumi shop there. They sell last year's merchandise at big discounts - even including last year's gloves and last year's sunglasses.

Now I don't know the difference between a 2016 gel glove and a 2017 gel glove... so I buy em up like Black Friday LED Televisions!
