Odd but I'd guess for the good

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..

Thank you for your feedback.

Very good

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Don't believe the sizing chart!!

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!!!

Thank you for your feedback.

The black dye stains your hand for days.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Fit, comfort, style and easy to take off

Love these gloves so much.. reordered 2 extra pairs. Well made, comfortable and easy to take off thanks to pulls on middle fingers!

Love em

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great gloves

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Durable and comfortable gloves

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best in class road cycling gloves

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!

Thank you for your feedback.

Padding in all the right places

The sale price was hard to pass up. I don't have particularly big hands so I ordered size medium. They fit snuggly. I can't say that a large size would have been to big. Haven't washed them yet, so shrinkage may be a problem. I'm happy with the gloves, but suggest ordering next size up if in doubt.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best half finger gloves I have owned.

Use the gloves for road cycling. They are comfortable to wear and the padding protects hands on rough roads. They are easy to take off with the loops on the back of the fingers. The bright colors are easy to see. I will continue to buy the Giro gloves.

Thank you for your feedback.

Just one drawback

Maybe the nicest half-finger glove that I have ever used. Total comfort. What I don't like is that the hook side of the fastener always folds over and snags the fabric above it, creating barely visible pulls that are already starting to be unsightly, and I am afraid, will eventually eat through the fabric.

Thank you for your feedback.

Returned them - seem to run small

Bought medium based on the size chart after measuring my hands, but definitely too small, so returned them.

Good padding, good value for the price

The gloves are good as advertised, it provides excellent padding for those that need it. If your bike handlebar is good or new, you may not needs this glove however. I went back to basic Giro gloves after purchasing a new bike.

Thank you for your feedback.

Fit Like A Glove!

Just got these and worn them once. Previously, I got the Bright Yellow with the black palms and the black dye kept bleeding out on my handlebars and staining my hands. Because of the hot and humid weather, my hands sweated a lot. They run a little small in my opinion. So far so good!

Plus, I got great service and advice from the staff at Bike Tires Direct.

Excellent gloves with enough padding and support for even the toughest trails

Very pleased with these gloves. I was tired of scraping my knuckles on branches etc. while riding single track. They work perfectly and provide both good grip on bars as well as needed protection.
