Avenir Classic Cool Cycling Gloves

The padding doesn't do much and they are starting to fray, but for the price they are very nice. I have only had them for a month but i ride everyday. I was most surprised at how well they fit and sweat-free they kept my hands. I only wish the padding was better.

So far so good with these new gloves. I have probably gone through 20 pairs of gloves in my lifetime, as they just wear out eventually. These fit nicely, and I really like the padding on the palm. It seems nicer than so many gloves I have owned in the past. I have never had a mesh fabric on gloves before, but I love it. It's very breathable. If you've ever gotten hot hands while riding, you'll appreciate this ultra-breathable fabric. As for sizing, I am sometimes disappointed by gloves that fit too tightly or too loosely. These fit TRUE TO SIZE--just right. For the price, I don't know how you can go wrong with these gloves.

bike gloves are partly personal preference, but also have a function to perform. These have been reliable, good, stood up to the wash, and fit comfortably. I like the all black understated design. nice breathable fabric on top. this is all I buy now. I have to trim a few threads now and then.

They are nice gloves, though they are a little small. I know cloves are hard to tell sizes. I have long fingers, but narrow, thin hands so I thought that a med would be good as the fingers are cut off and I didn't want them to be too big. I use med running gloves, but they are a bit small for my narrow hands, and some of the stitching is starting to split as a result, but they are a nice glove. I would just get a size up next time.

I just started cycling again after many years. When I bought my new "comfort" bike recently I noticed that my hands started to ache along the outside edge from the handle bars. I bought these gloves to end that situation. These gloves have just the right amount of padding to keep my hands from aching. They also give me more grip on the handle bars for safety. Another lady I know bought a pair of these also because she has the rotate type shifters and these gloves make it a lot easier to grip the shifters for more smooth shifting. These gloves are easy to put on and remove and they fit under full fingered gloves to keep my hands warm in the really cool weather. Now I have Avenir pedals, seat and gloves. Nice combination.

I was taking a gamble buying gloves online, only because no bike shops near my area carry cheap gloves like these. They fit great around the hand and wrist, and they look sweet. They are good gloves and seem durable since I have already used them for a few rides. My only complaint is to order these in a size up from what you usually wear, (I wear medium, and I ordered a medium, but I should have ordered a large). They are tight around the fingers, and some of the material is "prickly" and gets annoying after a while. Overall good gloves for the price.

I have worn these gloves on many rides for several months. I have the tan version, and find that for summer/hot weather riding, the light tan color reflects the heat, instead of absorbing it. My hands feel cool and comfortable after hilly rides of 30 or more miles in hot and humid weather. The thin weave crochet fabric does not feel scratchy like some of the thicker yarns I have seen on gloves. It feels smooth against the skin and just makes my hands feel comfy. I do not find the padding to be too thin, in fact, feels just right for me. I bought the pair I have now at a local bike shop almost two years ago as a spare pair. After wearing out my other gloves, I pulled them out and started wearing them a few months back and thought, wow, these feel great, I should have started wearing them sooner. They are doing fine, but I am concerned since the palms are not leather, they will wear quickly. So I went back to the shop I bought them from to get another spare pair (or maybe even two), and found they no longer carry them. I then checked Avenir's web site, and it looks as if they are no longer making the tan. Drats. So, I am ordering a black pair now from Amazon, and I will wear them just because I like the feel, but not having tan in my size and discovering that they do not appear to be making them in that color anymore is disappointing. I hope somebody from Avenir happens to read this: the tan color looks cool, and also helps your hands stay cool! Bring them back! Giving a five star review on comfort alone, and hoping that the company begins to re-stock the light tan color.

These gloves look great, but they are sized for women. That may be inferred from the sizing chart that comes up only for women's sizes. IT SHOULD BE STATED CLEARLY IN CAPS!!! I have large hands for a man, these gloves didn't come close to fitting me even though they were XL. My wife has a new pair of biking gloves, which she doesn't really need, and I'm screwed until I can afford to buy another pair. Bad deal. Get clear on your sizing!
