    I like Specialized too. They sometimes stretch a little, but they're sort of a consumable - new set every year.

    Short gloves? I started out with one, then two pairs of nice Pearl Izumi ones. Now I just have a bunch of really cheapo ones (plus the original "nice" ones), and rotate, wash them often. I'm not fussy about gloves I guess, as long as they're not too tight and don't go to pieces immediately. Longfinger gloves are a different matter, very fussy about those.

    I still love the gloves I wrote about here:

    Except that now, they are exactly the size and shape of my hands and they've been through the washer a couple times.
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Thank you!
    It seems like it is different for everyone...
    I guess I will try to find some that I can try - that are kinda cheap.
    Maybe will try some specialized.....
    Thanks for the input!

    I've worn Trek, Specialized, Pearl Izumi and Louis Garneau. For every pair I like, there are others by the same manufacturer that I don't like. Best to try on some different pairs, ideally try grasping some handlebars before you buy (or remove the tags), and see what feels good. Have fun shopping!

    I really like the Pearl Izumi gel vent gloves. I have a pair of PI Cyclone (?) gloves for winter, and while I'm not as enamored of them, they're okay.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.
