Women's Body Geometry Grail Short Finger Gloves

I love the palm pad in these gloves and am still wearing the original style from 8+ years ago. The subsequent iterations are not as great. The version 2-5 years ago had a gel pad that rolled up, causing major nerve issues. The current version seems to have fixed that (based on recent reviews), but the glove is . 5-1 inch longer in the wrist than the original and it's tight - snug enough to cause circulation issues over time. And my wrists are really small compared to most! The bonded wrist seam looks nice but is not as forgiving as the traditional stitched bound edge still found on mid-level gloves. Also there's no stretchy gore that used to be at the base of the thumb that helped adjust the fit in lieu of a velcro strap. I will probably keep these and try to tailor the wrist, since I can't find any other gloves that have similar palm padding. In sum: bonded seams are great for hems, seams, and many things, but very unforgiving for delicate nerve areas like wrists!

These are a nice pair of gloves, I thought they were going to be way too small, but they stretch to a perfect fit.

I love these gloves, but beware as I normally take a small in most brands these run very small! I bought the Mens Medium from a shop and they are wonderful and my size! The Womens are very tight in the medium and longer in the fingers so I would have had to get a large! so Im returning them to get the Mens! I found tbhe Mens a liitle shorter in the fingers and more comfy hence no numbness on the bike :-)

These have been my go to gloves for years. But this year, NO. I have small hands, I always wear small gloves and they are often too big for me. So I first ordered small (the size I have been wearing for years), but WAAAAYYYY too tight. I could barely get them on! Then I ordered the mediums. I could actually get the mediums on my hand, but they were still a bit tight. I thought they would loosen up after use as my previous pairs have, but no go. These gloves remain too tight making my hands numb. One of the seams split after one wear. Not sure if the fabric has changed or the factory has changed, but something is OFF. I am definitely not a large glove wearer. Maybe that is why these gloves are on sale...?? Totally bummed, I don't want to have to find another brand, I'm a big specialized fan as they do a lot of things for women right.

These are by far the best gloves for long rides.

These truly help prevent the numbness I used to suffer from on rides

Well made, nice snug fit and love the colors

My wrists always hurt while biking, but not anymore! These are truly 'specialized' gloves for riders who need a bit of palm pad support to alleviate pressure on the wrists. Both me and my husband love these gloves and won't wear any others.

I used these gloves for a ride and didn't even make it half into the ride before the pad started to roll up at the palm making it very uncomfortable. The first pair had exactly the same problem. I got a second pair because I thought the first pair was just an anomaly. Very poor quality for the price. Definitely not worth the money

Bought two pairs at a bike shop. On the 1st and 2nd ride, both of our's had the padding inside the palm wad up and it can't be fixed. Messaged for help here, they told me to return to the store (far away, didn't keep the receipt). Can't get back to the store and disappointed in the response on this site.

My last gloves (another brand) were to tight so I decided to try the women's body geometry grail gloves ... best decision ever! They feel so soft like if you're not wearing anything.

I've been using the Grail gloves since they first came out. I still have and use my first pair. They've lasted that long. I love the slick no velcro design. They have held up very well through many washes. The padding seems to be in the perfect spot to eliminate numbness issues I experienced before I started using these gloves.

I have purchased eight pairs of Grail gloves over the past, I dunno, five or six years. They had always been the best gloves ever and I told everyone I know about them and convinced many to switch. Now I just bought three pairs for my daughter and all of them had the pad disconnect and bunch up at the bottom of the glove. Unusable. Did it go from being stitched to glued? Fix this issue.

These gloves looked great and fit fabulously. But after wearing them only 15 miles the pads rolled up into little balls that refused to be flattened/unstuck. This is an easily solvable problem, through better glue or stitching. There's no reason for the fancy pads to be just floating about in the middle of ~$40 gloves. To their credit, Specialized return policy is reasonable and I got a full refund.

These gloves worked great for reducing numbness while cycling. I still have some issues with my left hand but I think that's just my anatomy/my bike fit. I had a pair of these that lasted 2 years which is impressive because I took them cross country one of those summers. I've had these pairs for only 3/4 of a ridings season and they're already wearing down and the material gets smellier faster. I noticed the quality being lower from the first use. So, they may solve your issue with numbness which is huge, but you're going to have to buy a pair every year if you ride a lot.

These were absolutely great until after the second trip through the wash. The pad of one glove rolled up inside the little pocket it's in and won't fully unroll. I did like them enough that even though we're returning them, I'll try another pair.

I had tried several different gloves with the usual padding but I still had trouble with numbness in my hands. This glove with the padding in the center, rather than around the outside did the trick. Numbness issues dramatically reduced.
