I usually love Endura products, probably the best cycling gear you can buy. But the Endura Loop Gel gloves have design flaws: huge product labels inside the Left glove (other reviewers agree), and the uncomfortable stitching across the back of your hand in both gloves. The fabric on the back of these gloves is plenty stretchy and comfy, but the stitching holding that seam is NOT! With their snug fit, when you close your hand on your grips, the stitching is pulled into the thin skin on the back of your hand. VERY uncomfortable! Also, these do run a bit small, not as small as Fox gloves, but close. I'm returning them without any rides.
... but after using OCD surgeon precision to remove the stitched-in 50-page label booklet so I could actually fit my hand inside the glove, and washing them before using them, the stitching had already unraveled. Yeah, I did only cut the stitching that the label booklet was attached with. At least I thought so, but alas the glove came apart before I could even use them on a ride. I got out needle and thread and stitched it up myself, but seriously, this should not be necessary. Also, the fit is a bit odd with the finger tips being a bit tight. Yes, I want my gloves to be snug, but it felt just a tad too snug in the fingertips, and I have pretty small hands for a dude.
I actually bought these gloves specifically to do pushups while out running as I like to stop every once in a while and do some pushups just to break up the run. As for the intended purpose of using them as bike gloves I’m sure they will work great. For me the pro’s so far are: they are lightweight. The top feels thin (in a good way) but the palms have some fairly thick padded areas. (That makes them great for pushups on hot concrete!) It seems most gloves I’ve used have the velcro straps on the top of the glove but the velcro is palm side on these. I like that design better. Of course they work well manipulating your phone. And the price is pretty good too. Not sure if this is a pro or con but they seem to run small in size. I normally wear a medium (which would be very snug on me) or at most a large but I needed XL for these and they’re still snug, which is what I prefer. Not a fan of loose fitting gloves for any activity. Have not noticed any cons yet. Recommended!
Solid gloves, best out of the many I tried on, due to better finger stitching placement and materials. Comfortable and the XL fit my hands perfectly. However, warning. Inside the left glove is a huge, seven-page materials/care label in every language known to man. If you leave it in, it will be an irritant since it's much thicker than the actual glove material. If you cut it close it will maybe be even worse since it'll stick out. And if you do what I do and carefully snip the little threads holding it in... turns out those threads are actually holding the glove together so now you have a big hole. I can stitch it up but still. Personally I think it's a serious design flaw to have a ton of annoying fabric inside lightweight gloves that you can't remove without damaging the glove. Begging Endura to rethink this.
Needed to replace my “falling apart” Giro Zen gloves. These have been a fantastic replacement set of gloves! Comfortable fit, light materials with wrist Velcro strap and gel pads on the palm pressure areas. Got them on sale - very satisfied!
The stitching on one glove came out after only a few wearings. The gloves were great for spring weather conditions so I am getting another pair to try again.
I am in constant search for full-finger cycling gloves. I am a 3000+ annual road rider and prefer full finger to get better grip because my hands sweat a lot. These glovers fit the bill, without unnecessary padding of many MTB glovers. I tried them on in-store, which was good since I needed to size up from my normal medium to a large. The Pearl Izumi gloves I have worn for years were discontinued, so glad to find a glove that meets my needs and seems well made and not too hot for the summer rides.
Well made, gave this as a Xmas gift for my husband and he really like them.
I'm not a picky person and seeing other reviewers pointing out the oversized tag on the inside left glove doesn't bother me at all. And to be honest, I didn't even notice it until I read the reviews. They fit great, work great and would buy them again but that's just me.
Broke easily. I tried removing the tags on the inside of the glove (there was a pretty thick stack and it was uncomfortable). The seam tore and now there's a hole in my brand new pair of gloves.
