United StatesGreat working glove, but carefully check the fit
When I got the gloves I was very impressed with the quality of the construction. Everything is durable and reinforced which gives me confidence when using it. I have used these gloves mountain biking, yardwork, trail work and chainsaw use. The gloves work for just about anything. One major flaw I have found is getting the gloves to fit snugly (is that a word?) on each finger. While it's fine on most of my fingers, there is excess room on my pointer finger and thumb. This is a major flaw for me. I am constantly having to pull the material down over my fingers. When dexterity is crucial (like handling a chainsaw) I find it annoying. Now I know that these gloves aren't designed specifically for a chainsaw, I do think designing them to fit over your fingers are the one of the main functions. Because the fit is loose, they do not work well on a touch screen and I have to take them off in order to use my camera or phone. I did use the sizing chart and sized them correctly as stated. My guess would be to size down, but it would be possible that the glove will be too short on the other fingers. I will continue to use this glove, but it will not be my go-to glove.
United States2.5yrs later of daily riding - still great
I've owned these gloves for nearly 2.5 years now. During that time, I've worn them while commuting 20 miles per day, mountain biking and gravel riding. Quality-wise, they are incredible. Considering how much I've worn them... they have no pulled seams, no cracked leather. I haven't babied them. I've washed them maybe twice? Wiped my nose countless times. Temperature-wise, they are comfortable between 40-75F for me. Below 40, I typically wear a light pair of fleece gloves over them to keep the chill out (the fingers specifically get cold because it's uninsulated leather with ventilation holes). Above 75 and things can get a little warm... fingerless gloves are better in my experience when it gets hot. Comfort-wise, they are solid. The palm pad is well-placed. The leather/fabric positioning is perfect across the gloves... i haven't had issues with seams rubbing or anything like that. The only negative I could think of is that I prefer a slip on glove w/o a velcro wriststrap... but getting that fit right can be hard. As-is, the velcro strap does the job. I often ride with it loose to maximize airflow. I wear size 9 in most gloves and the medium fit accurately.
United StatesNice gloves
Kitsbow continues to deliver high-quality cycling gear/accessories. I have been very satisfied using the Kitchel glove for warmer conditions (spring - summer - fall). Decided to try the Hi-Line for winter conditions in NorCal. Very happy with Hi-Line gloves after the first 250 miles. Materials are high-quality and thoughtfully-stitched together. The leather does stain/bleed onto one’s hands the first few rides when sweat lathers up, but it washes off easily. Recommend these gloves for anyone looking to mitigate the wintry bite of descending the mountain in temps of 40-50F degrees. If riding in temps that are lower thant that, I recommend Black Diamond’s Punisher ice climbing for really cold conditions when dexterity on e-tap or Di2 shifters of road or gravel bike is important.
United StatesWell received
This was a gift for my athletic son-in-law. He recognized them at once and commented on the high quality.
United StatesWell built, strange fit.
I read the reviews on the thumb/pinky being tight. I ordered a medium and that was the case. It was just too snug to be comfortable. So I ordered a large set and returned the medium. With the large set the thumb/pinky fit great but the three other fingers are too long. I’m keeping this set simply because I feel bad shipping things back and forth over and over. It seems like a well built glove, just a poor fit. The star rating is hard. I know the gloves are well built and I think the customer service at Kitsbow is excellent. I just don't think the design of these gloves stands up to the other Kitsbow products I've purchased, thus the three stars, especially at sixty bones.
