Opinions on Gloves
Guess I'll pick up another set of gloves since my cheapo K-Mart Bell gloves
have shredded, but I have no idea what to get. I was looking at the Pearl Izumi Gel Lite gloves but heard alot of negative opinions on them. I know that most opinions come from "unhappy campers", so I do take them with a grain of salt. What's y'all opinions on the differences between a full-fingered glove and a half-fingered glove? I was thinking that with the cooler weather coming soon (?) that I should buy a full-fingered glove now, then think about a half-fingered next spring. Sounds logical... What brands are you guys/gals satisfied with? I'm looking for comfort, and durability, with costs in mind as well. Thanks, Charles |

When grilled further on (Sat, 24 Sep 2005 12:13:41 -0500),
"Charles B. Summers, HOF." charles confessed: Guess I'll pick up another set of gloves since my cheapo K-Mart Bell gloves have shredded, but I have no idea what to get. I was looking at the Pearl Izumi Gel Lite gloves but heard alot of negative opinions on them. I know that most opinions come from "unhappy campers", so I do take them with a grain of salt. I have three pairs of Pearl Izumi gloves, and like them all. I've one half-fingered gel pair, the Gel Lite pair, and a warmer pair (with cuff) for winter riding. I didn't realize they were all Pearl Izumi until bought the last pair. Love them all. Cheers, Rob |

What brands are you guys/gals satisfied with? I'm looking for comfort, and durability, with costs in mind as well. I always tend to go with full fingered for riding off-road. Just too many things to damage the pinkies. I've never had a problem with my hands getting too hot. As for brands, I'm generally not impressed with 661 - they just don't seem to last that well. The Fox gloves I bought last year seem to be lacking in the quality department too, but it's mainly bits that are glued on, rather than stitching. I was looking at the new Specialized Body Geometry gloves, but don't like the fact that the palms aren't stitched or pre-curved which means they ruck up a bit when gripping the bar. My next glove of choice comes recommended by my brother - Troy Lee's. |

Thanks, Charles I've only been riding about a year, but my experiences with Pearl Izumi products in general supports my basic attitude that you get what you pay for. The PI jerseys that I have are superior to the other name brand and store brand jerseys that I have. I have been wearing one pair of PI half finger White Line gloves all summer and they have held up very well. I will get something full finger for winter. You can find sales on some of the websites if you shop a little. Also check http://www.mtbr.com/ for product reviews. gt |
