from Waikoloa, Hawaii Date Reviewed: January 26, 2008 Strengths: Fits well. Fairly cool (temperature) glove while the "radiators" were attached. If you are a sponsored rider you can feel good about throwing these away frequently. Weaknesses: This glove has the worst velcro closure on ANY product I have EVER handled. I cant believe that anyone at Specialized actually inspected this design before releasing it for production. The "hook" flap continually rolls up from the end and does not stick to the "loop" closure. I returned a pair for a new pair as a factory defect but found it to be a matter of "standardized whimpamatic" manufacturing. Secondly, as mentioned in other posts, the rubber venting on the knuckles and dorsal hand peel away after a couple of weeks. What good is it when the selling point of your product falls off after two weeks? If you are a working person who values getting what you pay for, these are not for you. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Somewhere In Hawaii Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $30.00 Purchased At: Local Bike Shop Similar Products Used: Lots of gloves over 17 years Bike Setup: Not important for this review

from so cal Date Reviewed: November 8, 2006 Strengths: Great fit and the ulnar nerve padding is good. I liked the old padding better (one solid pad), but it did move around a bit once they got worn in. Weaknesses: The brake/shifter rubber? on the finger tips for non-slip comes off pretty quickly. The rubber air vents on the top of the hands started to fall off after about 2 weeks. I hand wash only and it just isn't lasting. For the price, the gloves should hold up better. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: Bicycle Warehouse Oceanside Similar Products Used: Fox mid-finger gloves with no ulnar padding, another set of Specialized BG gloves from mid-05 (forgot the name)
