GripGrab ProGel Cycling Glove Black

great colour, lovely material, well made and accurate to size - I am usually a size 10 but like my tops a little loose, so chose a medium - good fit for me.

Hassle feee purchase and quick delivery

These gloves work in the wet and the dry and down to very cold temperatures. Also wash and wear really well, come up like new each time.

So warm and toasty. The size was perfect. I haven't worn them in the rain but hoping they are waterproof as advertised.

Let's start with the good - the fabric is an excellent blend of stretch merino that feels dense and warm without overheating, the conductive fingertips for forefinger and thumb actually work (unlike a lot of other brands), and the palm grip is great both on and off the bike.

Now the bad - the glove pattern/cut leaves too much fabric around the lower palm/wrist area so you never get a nice form-fit. This extends to the wrist which is too large and consequently allows air to get in (not what you want from a winter cycling gloves). Conversely, the fingers are quite tight, where you need to individually work each of the glove fingers on. Lastly, the piece of grip rubber placed at the thumb/forefinger webbing is totally unnecessary and in fact only makes for an uncomfortable grip on the handles as it gets pushed into the base of your thumb. Definitely seems like a band-aid solution and needs more thought.

Overall, I'm happy with these gloves despite the design flaws. Price is great for merino full finger cycling gloves and they seem built to last. If you can grab them on sale, go for it.
