The Loma is a women's-specific glove. Giro recognizes that women's hands are typically shorter in length. Women's fingers are also narrower, or more slender, than men's. So, to design for these traits, Giro shortened the overall length of the glove as well as made narrower fingers. The result is gloves that should fit most women's hands better. The back of the Loma, which Giro calls the "upper," is made of a four-way stretch wicking material that holds the palm in place and keeps your hands dry. The thumb is partially covered with a microfiber wiping surface and part with more stretch material.
