from Ontario Canada Date Reviewed: July 14, 2009 Strengths: Fingerless Gel Lites are comfortable and lightweight, look good. Weaknesses: Disintegrated before I'd cycled 100 easy miles. The palm material is a kind of microfleece, with a half-inch swath between the thumb seam and the gel pads. Just enough that the material thinned and then split open, especially on the left glove. The backs of the glove have a poor-quality suede-like material that sheds little black particles all over the place (looks pretty bad on skin or pale clothing!) - given the price and PI reputation, I am very disappointed.

from Huntsville, TX Date Reviewed: June 25, 2006 Strengths: Gel-Vent Pro Glove - has neat stitched logo. Weaknesses: Gel-Vent Pro Glove are horrible. These look like they are replacing the Gel Lites with them, very bad. The Gel Lites have complete coverage for your hand, anywhere you put your hand on the bar, you are padded. These leave a gaping hole in the center of your palm, OUCH! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $39.00 Similar Products Used: Many other gloves, current favorites are the PI Gel Lites. Bike Setup: Trek 5200

from Ottawa Date Reviewed: May 21, 2003 Strengths: Solid comfortable snug fit, Quality amara leather palms, the back of the hand is a nice stretchy mesh that should breath very well on the smokin' hot days in July. Price is exceptional at $19 Canadian currency. Light padding (I use the Shimano gel cork so light is fine) Weaknesses: The terry does not extend far enough over the back of the hand requiring a double wipe to get all the snot off. An extra inch wrap would help a lot. Slightly scratchy in said place.
