Gloves - What's best?

[Nanci]

I like gloves with gel- anything else just doesn't have enough hours of cushioning. My favorites are an ancient pair of Treks. I also really like the fit of Loius Garneau. Recently I had a glove-buying frenzy before my 600k ride, and TE sent me out four pairs of gloves after a lengthy phone consultation. I ended up choosing the Pearl Izumi Gel Vent Pros, because they fit so well and look very cool. I like having the back of my hands covered, and like having at least some terry on the thumb for nose/sweat wiping. So far they have held up to repeated machine washing hang drying, too. They don't have velcro, and are easy to put on/remove.
