Pearl iZUMi Pro Softshell Lite Glove,Black,X-Small
Pearl iZUMi Pro Softshell Lite GloveBlackX Small – Features
The worst thing about wearing gloves is losing your dexterity. The Pearl Izumi P.R.O. Softshell Lite Gloves provide you with the warmth you need without taking away that feeling of immediacy required for proper handling of maps, a phone, or snack wrappers. Designed to be non-bulky answers to your cool-weather needs, the palms of the P.R.O. Softshell Lite Gloves are made from Pittards’ WR 100X Natural Carbon Leather. This is a particularly supple version of Pittards’ leathers. Pittards is a British company that supplies leather for good as various as ladyAAAs high fashion footwear and gloves, to military equipment. The leather they supply for the Pearl Izumi gloves resists the absorption of water, either sweat or rain, which keeps your palms dry, light and comfortable at all times. The leather breathes normally, so you wonAAAt have clammy hands. Since it has been specially tanned with sweat resistant properties, the palms will not develop that unpleasant hard, cracked feeling that often afflicts heavily used leather goods. Adding to the flexibility of these gloves, the fingers have been anatomically shaped so that you wonAAAt have to fight with the form of the fingers to do the things all cyclists must: shifting, breaking, and digging for gel packs in your pockets. They have been designed to fit snugly, so that there wonAAAt be any extra fabric extending from the tips of the fingers. That is hazard enough when you are trying to shift, but worse would be bulky, ill-fitting fingers slipping off the brake levers or even getting caught between the brake and shifter paddles. Horror of horrors! You wonAAAt be facing any of those troubles with these gloves. Did we forget to mention that they keep your hands warm? Made from P.R.O. Softshell with Cocona fabric, the uppers of these gloves provide you with a wind and water protection that will be certain to keep your paddies toasty warm even in the chilliest weather.

C. Toby

tons of dexterity

you can do things like tie shoes, unzip pockets, dial dumbphones (these dont work on smartphone touchscreens of course)

these also make great driving gloves

—

leather palms are quite supple
thumb tips are almost capped off (still flexible though)

the body of the gloves are thin but nearly wind proof
the fleece of the thumb is a little less wind proof

the wrists stay snug and do not ride up at all

—

flat out these gloves are perfect for what they are

thin, light, light cold weather gloves (+40 degree F)

i love them

Joe

Nice gloves for cool weather. They are thin with little insulation though, so they are not for bike riding in very cold weather. They fit snug and don’t have much in the way of padding, so if you’re using them for bike riding you may want to go a size larger than normal so that your regular riding gloves can fit underneath. But for just keeping you hands warm in cool weather they are very nice and fit and feel great.
