Tell me about your favorite gloves...

[withm]

I'm still searching for my "favorite gloves." I have a lot of PI gloves and they aren't bad, but hard to get a consistent fit.

But I can tell that the best fitting gloves I've ever owned are Terry, but they are also the worst gloves I've ever had. The velcro is reversed - so when you wipe your nose, you are presented with the needle side of the velcro instead of the fleecey side. VERY PAINFUL! What were they thinking?

I have tiny hands so I started a list here :

My favorite gloves are ones that do not have holes in them. Sadly, all mine have holes at the moment...

These Giordana gloves @ Team Estrogen are a staff favorite. I love em. First impression was they were too padded, But i loved em after the first ride. Only thing wrong with them is they are red and starting to fade after two years. PI's never lasted through the summer for me.

Any glove with pull-tabs that fit me are my favorite. Pull tabs are a deciding factor for me. Everything else being equal. Heck - most of the time I won't even bother unless they have pull tabs on them.

Botrangers. They are the only gloves I can find with absolutely no padding. They cost $40.00 and they are never on sale . Anywhere. But, I was desperate last year, as my hands were killing me and it was definitely from the tiny amount of padding in my Terry and PI gloves.

I LOVE these gloves! There really isn't much padding, but the grippy surface is fantastic! The men's small fit me fine.

I found a pair of long-fingered mountain bike gloves from my LBS that just has a tiny patch of padding on the outside/upper portion of the palm. They jury is out whether they will fit me or not, and they are $60...sadly I've expensive tastes and a beer budget

They ordered them for me and we will see if they fit - if they do will put them on layaway... I suspect they won't fit though, I've long fingers and slender/narrowish hands & have yet to find a pair of long-fingered gloves for mtb where the fingers are long enough without bunching in the palm area. I didn't START looking at the $$$ gloves.

Here they are, my favorite gloves! Like a second layer of skin that you can't even tell they are on, but they for the trick! Hands are no longer sore after long ride http://www.pearlizumi.com/publish/co...Code-8602.html

Gloves are like saddles, really a very personal choice. I love these Sugoi Betty gloves. Very thin padding, good protection between the thumb and first finger, fits well. Also nice and red like my bike. I also like the more thinly padded LG gloves, and my Terry Euro gloves.

Gloves like the Specialized, which I also have (I must have 10 pairs of road gloves) and Perl Izumi have lumpy hard padding that I don't find comfortable.

I used to have Spenco gloves and miss them dearly. They were from the early 90s and were very thinly padded-not lumpy- and I loved them. But they were stolen out of my truck with most my cycling accessories when it was broken into many years ago. Their new stuff is way too lumpy and thick for me.

For mountain bikes, it's FOX FOX FOX full finger gloves.
