These gloves are super well ventilated thanks to the light mesh on top. Does does make for some durability issues and these are my second pair as my first tore open from the occasional brush up with a bush. On the underside I actually find the Palm is over built in the gusset’d area and use a stitch ripper to remove this section as I prefer smooth and unpadded palms. I do like the Velcro free entry on these gloves and the cell phone touch capability. My most recent pair were definitely a little on the snug side so might recommend sizing up.

-These gloves tore open the first time that I used them. -Read reviews and they do run small, so I sized up. Good fit once on but no adjustment at the cuff so they're impossible to get on and off. -Can't use a phone with them on, so good luck getting them on and off for photos and navigating. -Padding is for MTB hand position, no good for gravel riding on the hoods or drops. Save yourself the trouble of the return and just go get a pair of mechanix at the hardware store if that's what you're after. $16 instead of $40 and you wont have to return them.

Having recently put my finger thru a pair of gloves from one of the big clothing manufacturers I thght I'd give Kitsbow a try as I appreciate their pivot to PPE. After a month riding them in mud, rain and heat I can say they are the BEST gloves I have used in 25+ years of mountain biking! Perfect amount of protection, padding and grip. Takes some effort to get them on but well worth it as I never think twice about them once I start riding!

My hands never sweat in these gloves! Light weight, great mountain biking.

Expertly made, and perfect as the weather gets warmer.
