Descente Men's Shelter Glove Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed some gloves for cycling, bought these at the local bikeshop today.

Weather was low 40s, rode 10-15mph for about an hour, my fingers were perfectly comfortable. (I also wore a shortsleeve T-shirt, Longs-sleeve t-shirt, a light sweatshirt, a pair of bike shorts and uninsulated tights. Regular tennis shoes with socks, and a light fleece hat.)

-The fabric breathes well, the top of the gloves is 100% wind resistant, these have good flexibility and dexterity. They're sewn with a natural curve to the fingers.
-The elastic cuff at the wrist is perfect for throwing over a jacket or sweatshirt, the glove continues on about 2-3 inches, but is compact enough you could tuck it Under other clothes.
-The little rubber knubbies all over the palm, forefinger, and thumb work great on rubber handgrips, brakelevers or shifters, or my metal bar-ends. (No tape or grips on the ends.) I DO WONDER about the durability- they're tiny and seem glued or melted onto the fabric, although a minor bit of picking at one just saw it bounce back to shape again and again.
-The palm and thumb padding is quite good. There's an extra piece of padding at the bone at the outside of the palms.
-They have odd white accenting (besides the logo,) on the top of the little finger, palm, and under the outside three fingers, I don't think it's reflective.

I really like these gloves- for light weather riding.
For colder weather than above I'd recommend something heavier or buying these too big and using a liner inside.

--DO NOT EVER put gloves or liners on so that they feel tight!.! It cuts off circulation and your fingers will FREEZE. TRUST ME on this. ;-)
