I keep getting blisters from

I keep getting blisters from riding, even with the gloves. The straps only stayed closed one time and now they are just flapping open all the time. The grip is fine, but it does get wet from sweat and does not dry well.

Trail Shield gloves

Good feel in store and first few rides. Top padded material is quite good and held up but the palm/finger suede material wore out too fast in about 5 Cross country style rides. Palm area has worn through on both hands. My Fox rangers and Dakine coverts have lasted about 2 years now. Specialized, if you swap out that palm material for something more sturdy you'd have a pretty gnarly glove. Cheers

Red is actually pink

Ordered size Medium and they are true to size. Light weight and good feel. Imperial Red is actually bright pink but I love it. Only four stars because the Velcro straps are pathetic, seriously the saddest closure ever.

Comfy, good tactile feel, nice material, but very weak velcro.

I really like the material on the palm of these. It feels durable, but also thin enough I can actually pinch the skin on my palm. (I wasn't sure how else to explain) As another review mentioned, the velcro comes undone very easily. Like, it barely even tries to hold on. I would return these, but honestly they're great otherwise and I think I'd rather have them as mechanic gloves, or backups before getting rid of them. One remedy I found that can improve the cling of the velcro is to massage the rubber on the strap until it's soft and supple. The velcro is weak, and the issue is exacerbated by that stiff bit of rubber on the strap which straightens out the velcro and causes it to unstick. Massaging the rubber so it rests in more of a curve shape really helped with it sticking around the curve of the glove. To massage, just pinch it in every spot multiple times and work it until there aren't any spots that resist being bent.

The OJ gloves

Very small opening, I call them the OJ gloves because they look impossible to fit, yet when you manage to het them on, they feel ok. Work good with touch - phone.

Velcro doesn’t hold

Liked these gloves a lot, just the right thickness, light, good grip, but the Velcro started to fail on my 3rd ride and by the 5th ride, they won’t stay together at all. Really disappointed.

Get a size larger.

These gloves were great but the sizing was not accurate. I have very average size hands and the mediums were extremely hard to get on and too tight fitting . I’ll order them again in a large.

Nice gloves for cold weather.

These gloves have adequate padding and are perfect for cold weather rides. They tend to run hot on hot rides. One drawback is that the straps are of very poor quality. Does not matter how much pressure you put on them, they will not close. I just ride with them open (4/5).

OK, because I got them in sale.

At a regular price, no way this gloves are worth the money: material is OK, fit is fine, but the velcro strap to close the gloves doesn't hold up and keeps opening. I though this could be caused by the size I ordered (Small and they fit very close to tight), but tried my friend's in size M and it's the same thing (he actually has the same complaint). Come on Specialized!

Excellent

I bought these for the redwood color alone with no expectations. They are amazing in the Florida summer heat, 3 hours in 90f++? no problem. Fit is true to size, and the material is excellent. I do hope they will hold up given the $.
