    Comments about Novara Metro Gel Bike Glove - Men's:

    i desperately needed a new pair of bike gloves and wanted a decent pair for short and long rides. these gloves did the trick. at first the padding on the upper palm/right under the fingers felt to bulky, but after a 3 hour ride over very un-even terrain my hands still felt fresh. these gloves are great.

    Less than expected

    • Look nice

    • Design quality

    Best Uses

    Comments about Novara Metro Gel Bike Glove - Men's:

    Nicely placed but overly small padding at the top of the palm; oddly placed padding on the heels, almost on the outside of the palm rather than the bottom. Finger holes appear to be poor quality and I would not count on them to hold together for more than one season. Narrow finger openings; you'll need an XL if your fingers are at all thick.

    • Sizing:
    • Feels half size too small

      Comments about Novara Metro Gel Bike Glove - Men's:

      These gloves are very well designed, they're durable, and they feel great. The only negative for me was that the pair I received had a very strong gasoline-like odor. It took many weeks of using them and airing them out between rides before the smell faded away.

        The first time I put these on the right-hand glove tore at the base of the thumb. I returned them for a different brand. They seemed lightweight and breathable, but just not very well made.

        Comments about Novara Metro Gel Bike Glove - Men's:

        Bought these at full price and wore them for about a month of not very frequent riding. I noticed one came apart at the thumb as other reviewers noted. Stopped in to get them replaced and saw the second one had come apart in the same way. They were on clearance so I got a new pair and [$] back. These lasted also about a month. Too bad because I really liked them.

          Bought these yesterday on sale for under $20. After a 2 hour ride, I noticed the seem over the thumb had completely come apart. Now I have to take them back and get a different pair. I did think they were comfortable, but am not sure if I will stay with the same model.

            I am fairly new to mountain biking. Bought these gloves, have used them several times since. Really like the fit and feel. The gel feel is better than regualr padding. Very happy with this purchase.
