Giro Zero Cycling Glove

I love these. They are light, look good and the palms are fantastic. I am definitely a fan of no padding. the leather is soft, and has slight stretch to it. My only complaint is that the black leather in the middle of the palm has a tendency to leave some black on my hands. Also, these gloves are completely unpadded, so if you don't like that, they aren't for you. However, if you've never tried an unpadded glove, I think these are more comfortable than any padded glove I've worn.

Nice. Minimal yes, great grip, light and comfortable. No real padding but feel great and easy tear off. Professional feel.

Pro - gloves are nice - no padding and well constructed. Nice materials. On and off is easy with the pull tabs on the fingers.

Cons - The lower palms bunched up after about 15 miles - and stayed that way. I guess there was either some extra leather in the palm or the gloves stretched a bit with use.

It drives me crazy - I can feel the "ridge" in the leather against my palms when on the hoods. No amount of pulling on the tab at the wrist will remove the "slack".

I may try to reshrink them to see if they will form to my hands. but as it is now, the extra material is a distraction.

Would be 5 stars but for the stretching!

I've been collecting gloves guy like my wife collects shoes but not for the same reason. I have never been satisfied with gloves that are over padded, and have crazy plastic parts sewn all over them. Giro NAILED it with fit, style, breathabilty and bar feel...hmmm just like their helmets. Buy them? Hell Yes! I even bought a pair for wifey.

Almost exactly what I wanted in a glove. No foam or gel padding, no velcro, just a form fitting leather palm with a stretchy, form fitting back.

Pros: great fit, tough leather palm for wiping debris from tires, no velcro (stretch to fit, slip on glove)
Cons: no soft, absorbant area for wiping sweat, one of the three pairs had a seam come loose, expensive

I hardly ever write reviews. I generally use Assos Summer Gloves however when it came time to reorder another pair they were out of stock. Hesitantly, I tried these. WOW! I absolutely feel in love with them. Lightweight, perfect fit (medium), and good overall feel. The grip was excellent---I ride in a very tropical climate so a decent grip on the hoods is important. I just placed an order for 3 more pair to have 'on-hand' when needed.

The glove is fine but I wish it had padding. Besides that the glove performs well. It is good if you sweat like me and end up having sweat leaking out of your bartape.
