PEARL iZUMi  Expedition Gel Full-Finger Cycling Gloves - Men's

A perfect glove, redesigned and ruined. I've been wearing the Pearl Izumi gel gloves in a variety of styles for over 12 years and considered them the best of best. Tight ergonomic fit, durable, nice fabrics, well sewn. I bought these last week to repair my beloved last pair that were ready to retire and am so sad to discover that they redesigned them for the worse. The thumb fabric is oddly shaped and floppy, no good for handling your phone, device, anything, really. The seams have a few spots that poke into your skin, I was sure there was a piece of packaging plastic stuck in there, but it's just poor manufacturing. Sad.

These are a solid glove for those cool rainy mornings or when temps drop. The padding is more oval and not as comprehensive as padding coverage goes like other PI gloves, so for the long haul gravel rides (98% of what I do), I'd probably consider other PI gloves or options to make sure there are no tingling numb hands. Would recommend and buy for my mother and partner in most situations. I could be wrong but it seems to me that the glove sizing might be running slightly larger than it did a couple years ago. But still happy with XL and my 6'5" big hands. Glove sizes are still n+1 with PI.

The Gel padding is hard and uncomfortable. It felt like river stones in my gloves. I turned them for a full refund.

Gloves are warm for cool weather riding but the finger is NOT touch screen sensitive. Have to remove glove anytime I need to use touchscreen on my Garmin or iPhone. The clasp part of the glove keeps popping back onto the velcro making it a pain to remove or put it back on,.

I’m really happy with these. I think I’ve comfortably worn in temps from 45f to 80f (could probably go warmer too) and on terrain from single track MTB to gravel to road. The vibration pad on lower hand is great, touch screen fingers work well (a first for many gloves like this) and the runny nose texture is excellent. These are definitely earned a spot on my best riding kit.

I've struggled with parts of my hands or fingers falling asleep on long rides. When I first tried these gloves, I thought the gel pad was in an unusual location, but guess what? After multiple 1. 5+ hour rides around the county, none of my fingers fell asleep! I am surprised and pleased. These are airy gloves, though. Best for warm days.

I really, really wanted to like these more than I do. The idea of the single gel pad seemed great for someone who's switched back to padless gloves due to the pads generally causing more compression and numbness. Unfortunately, the pad on these does the same. It’s kinda of got a “diaper” feeling and ends up causing more compression.

Gloves run a little on the big side Using their size chart I was a large. Used them once and threw them in the trash. The Palm pad moved around and created a wrinkle that rubbed my palms raw. It was during a 6 hour ride. About 4 hours in I had to take them off very painful. I would not recommend these gloves 👎

The gloves are okay, but I bought them to wear for the winter months and they don't seem to have any insulation at all. In fact they actually leak a lot of air. Fingers and hands are pretty cold so it doesn't really make any difference if I wear gloves or not other than the protection issue.

Fit - The gloves fit true to size if you like a tight fit. Padding - The padding seems quite minimal. Quality - The gloves are thin and seem fairly delicate. That being said, I have not yet ridden with these gloves on. I'm not overly optimistic about them based on first impression.
