It's harder than it should be in general to find gloves without padding and velcro and straps and all that noise, so I'm happy that these fit well and look good. To me, 'needing' padding is just masking some other bike fit problem, adds more points of failure, and makes cleaning them more difficult.
We'll see how they do after repeated washings (I wear them into shower and then air dry) but it seems like they're more substantial than another brand's minimalist glove I've used.
Great glove with no padding. Pretty easy on and off. Like the palm material. Was previously using the Giro Zero gloves and like these a little better so far. The quality seems good so I hope I get more than a season or two out of them. The fit is as advertised.
Perfect fit, well made.
I have the unpadded, short-finger version, and they're great. It's hard to find a minimalist glove that fits close, doesn't wear out immediately, and doesn't pinch the nerves around the thumb with its seams. 10/10
The extra large is more like a large. Extra large is the largest size 😔
