GiroMonaco II Gel Men's Road Cycling Gloves

Before buying these gloves, I was a bit worried about the sizing. Other reviewers said that these gloves tended to fit too small, despite following Giro's sizing guide. I measured my hands a few times and Giro's guide said that I should use large gloves. So, I took a chance with large, and they fit perfectly. They are a bit tight to get on, but not enough that it's inconvenient. The resulting fit was snug without being restrictive or tight.As for the ink bleeding through, I haven't had any issues with this. My hands get drenched with sweat on my longer rides, and after I take my gloves off there is no ink staining my hands. The only stuff on my hands tends to be a few pieces of the inside that may've rubbed off from the leather.The gloves are a bit of a struggle to get off, but I don't think it's difficult enough to warrant the complaints that other reviewers have mentioned. The removal slots on the fingers make it easier to take the gloves off, but I can see these slots ripping after a while.I also get a bit of hand numbness during my longer rides, so I wanted something to combat that. I haven't been having any issues with numbness or shoulder pain after buying these gloves, so they were well worth the investment. The padding is excellent and well-distributed. The gloves are nicely ventilated and I haven't experienced any issues with hot hands. These gloves are comfortable and high quality, and I think they're well worth the investment.I hope this helps some of you who may be on the fence about purchasing these gloves after having read some of the other reviews. No matter how many reviews you read, in the end you need to take a chance on a pair of gloves. I think these gloves are well worth the money and that you'll be pleased with the quality. Be sure to measure yourself properly and check what size gloves you need on Giro's site before purchasing.

At first glance, these gloves look like any other pair of bicycle gloves. They were tight and stiff to put on and I was left wondering if I ordered the correct size ( I did). The thing is that leather has to stretch and you have to remind yourself of that every time you put them on. After about 3 days of wearing them, the softness and fit come into play, a subtleness that you don't even realize after they are broken in. These are really comfortable gloves. I ordered 2 pairs for my trip across America and ended up using only one pair for my journey. I ride with butterfly handlebars and move my hands around while I ride. I also double wrap my handlebars. No problems with numbness noted. A very well made glove. The white color will get dirty but I wasn't riding to make a fashion statement, just something functional with a post nasal drip material. I washed them with my wool undergarments and let them dry whenever I took a 2 day break. They won't last forever but they lasted 3,566 miles across America!

The gloves are comfortable and fit true to to size. Padding is not extra cushy but I’d say good enough. Only minor issue is that the Velcro strap will almost always stick to the mesh on the back, if you don’t close it before putting them away, and after a while it starts to wear the mesh out. Not an issue if you always remember to close the Velcro, just an unfortunate circumstance.

I'm a large but ordered XL. They are a nice snug fit. No idea how durable they will be, but I like the grip of the leather on my Supacaz bar tape.

This is one of the few gloves available on Amazon that are for real riders. By that I mean that they have some features the real riders want. Sadly most gloves available now are for people who just want to look good and pretend they ride, but as anyone who really rides knows you need a glove for nose drips on occasion. Twenty years ago every decent glove had a terry cloth area for that very purpose. But today, these are one of the few gloves out there that provide the needed functionality rather than skipping it for the sake of not talking about unpleasant topics. Bravo to Giro. The only down side is it could be a little thicker/absorbent.There are only really two negatives I have for these gloves:1) Once on, the gloves fit fine but the hole where you put your hand in is not properly sized for the XL gloves. It is too small so you end up taking forever to pull the gloves on.2) The padding in the gloves is placed well for crashes. It is exactly where you would want it to save your hide if you go down, but if you ride with drop handlebars there is actually little to no padding where your hands contact the top of the bars and the brake hoods. So if you are looking for gel to make the ride more comfortable, you aren't going to get much with these. You'll need to double up your padded bar tape instead.

Just getting these bike gloves broken in. I am used to wearing a size Large Specialized glove and ordered large in these. They are a bit snug and have loosened up some, but not enough. I recommed that you size up. Because they are snug, they are hard to strip off of my sweaty hands. Note that the grip loops are on the outside of the fingers rather than the inside like Specialized gloves have. They look good on and do the job of protecting hands from abrasion while riding.

I already owned and used these gloves for over a year and lost one. I had to immediately buy a new pair because they are the best made and designed half finger gel padded cycling gloves ever, made with real leather, and they are no longer being made and are rare in white, the most practical color for summer gloves.

I'm not quite sure if the batch I received had issues or what, however, less than two months of active use these are now trash - they are all torn and useless. I have never crashed on these or touch the ground they were basically a normal use on the day to day for me - i have multiple gloves I use for different kits, same brands but they are still in a great shape.I would also agree with others that these runs a bit small in size so you need to order a size up like I did. Overall comfort is great.Otherwise I enjoyed every bits and piece of the moment I used them.

The media could not be loaded.  Vienen una talla más chica. Pedí la talla Grande pensando en que me quedarían flojos o justos, pero de tan chicos que son que me molestan al colocarlos. Se los regalé a mi esposa. Definitivamente compren una talla más grande. Son de excelente manufactura.

glove size is accurate - buy as suggested by the measurement table.Materials are of very high quality. Lamb skin is used on the palm side, top of a hand is covered with stretching material.Comfortable. No blisters nor red skin after a 80km ride. Hands don't get sweaty.Handlebar grip is excellent.It takes a bit of time (longer than full gloves covering fingers) to take these gloves off, but with a bit of patience it is possible.The label says: hand wash with cold water.Made in Vietnam. My experience with products made in Vietnam has always been positive so far.If anything happens to my pair - I would buy them again.

Confort incroyable quelque soit la prise du guidon

Es heißt Supergeel.Die Plazierung der Geelflächen ist top, mehr nicht.Es fehlen aber Schlaufen zum ausziehen der Handschuhe.
