The silky stretch fabric from which the back and fingers are made is light and allows for excellent breathability, keeping the hands a good temperature and stopping them from becoming clammy. The thumb is generously covered in soft towelling, which is pleasantly soft on the nose, while the entire gripping surface of the glove is made from durable synthetic leather, with venting throughout to increase airflow.
It's a well-made glove, with strengthened seams where they wear hardest and good quality fabrics, although washing is by hand only, which is a hassle. The foam pads are well positioned to protect the ulnar nerve, support the median nerve and ease pressure and rubbing in the under-finger trouble spots. They also remove a little road buzz.
These gloves are comfortable and unobtrusive to wear and offer good hand protection. Sizing is somewhat generous, so it's best to check your size first if you're considering buying online. Price wise they are about average for a lightweight long-fingered glove. A fingerless version is also available.
