I love these gloves! You work to get them on, but afterwards they fit like a second skin, with palm padding. Completely comfortable, and the colors are ... sophisticated - (certainly not common) .... I feel in very good taste.

These gloves have no closure mechanism at the wrist -- I struggled to try one on because the fixed-size opening is just too small. When I finally got into one glove (to check fit) it was apparent that I should have sized up one (or even two) sizes despite ordering the Specialized-chart-recommended size. Even with a larger size I think these gloves without the normal closure (typically a velcro tab) would be a major annoyance to use. They're going back.

Nice

Only used them once, but so far they feel good

Had my first pair for about 3 years before I accidently dried them too many times in the dryer and the gel insert came out. I just ordered 2 more pair and they are still my favorite. The gel padding is the perfect amount of padding in just the right spot.

Very light and comfortable. Fits my hands well. Pull tabs make it easy to remove the gloves after use.

These gloves are just okay for longer rides, if that. In spite of the advertising, my hands are going numb quicker than with the gloves these were intended to replace. Cycling 20 miles give or take, is fine. Any longer, you need to take every opportunity to get your hands off the hoods and shake them vigorously. Good thing they were half price.

Good protection, simple mitt. Enough padding on the palm without compromising bar grip. Stops you hands getting chopped up in a stack. Built in wiper for stack tears.

I’ve suffered hand numbness for 15 years despite using all the usual remedies on my road bike. I’ve been using these gloves for 5 months and 1000+ miles and they have eliminated that issue for me. They fit like a second skin. Felt tight first time I put them but no problem now. I have machine washed them several times and still like new. I have the long fingered version as well which I’ll switch to in the Fall. Highly recommended.

Specialized Men’s Body Geometry Gloves are the only choice for me on the gravel. They are well constructed and provide me with the grip and confidence that I need for hitting the chunder. True to size. I use the XL and I am six feet 175 pounds. Recommended!
