TE PI gift sale...gloves help...

So here are my current gloves in this pic above. They are PI, markings say "Gel-Lite", and inside for size it says "S-M". The other tags I musta cut out at some point. They are well used and loved as you can see by their wear.

I'm thinking if I take advantage of the sale TE has now where you get a free PI gift... I will get gloves. But I do not see my beloved gloves anylonger for sale:(. From what I can tell, I think they are closest to these, "Elite Gel" http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodPI_14241301.html.

I have no idea how far back our account records date back on TE, but I'm sure I bought the old pair here as well. I do remember they were more expensive than average. The palm seems to have a bit of leather, as you can see. BUT, they are not that gawd awful version PI made that had a *hard* and visible gel pad...tried those, and it was a return for me, bout like having a rock in your shoe, except with your hands/gloves.

So what's the closest to my sweet loyal gloves?

EDIT p.s. I would almost get these, "Pittards Slip On Leather" http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodPI_14241202.html because the palms are leather, like my current pair has some leather...but they are pull on :( ...and while my hands are broad and thin, my wrists are extra tiny... I'm not sure they would stay on as well (and not a sale free gift, of course, since they are more lol).

p.p.s. Wow accounts go back a long ways here! I got em in 2008 and they were PI "Gel-Lite" PI-85555-BK-S $35.95 back then. Hmmm...

I can't answer, Miranda, except to say that I have had these same PI Gel-Lite gloves and loved them too! They fit just right and worked very well for me. Sorry to hear they may no longer be available. I get so tired of "planned obsolescence" of so many items these days. So often the replacement models don't work/fit as well and are more expensive, of course! :mad:

I MAY have a pair of these that I don't care for...let me go digging around. If I still have them they are yours. I like the design, but they ALWAYS get too tight for me, unsure why. Something about the design makes my hands swell too much. I love my Gore short finger gloves for the road - not much padding but there grippy stuff in the palm that doubles for some light padding but not too much.

Omg I hate it when they do that! Discountinue the most fav thing! That happened with both my fav indoor and outdoor cycling shorts too! Hmmm, can't say that I recall having the gloves get tight, but they are snug, which I guess I must not mind lol.:)
