MEASURING YOUR HAND FOR THE BEST FIT
You can measure the length and width of your hand as illustrated above, and use the Size Guide to determine your size.
1. Wrap the tape measure around your hand at the widest part of the palm, and lightly close your hand before taking the measurement. This is your Hand Width measurement.
2. Once you have that measurement recorded, use a tape measure to determine the length of your hand from the tip of your longest finger to the base of your palm at the wrist. This is your Hand Length measurement.
3. You can then compare the measurements of your hand with the data supplied in the Size Guide to determine the best fitting size for you.

WHICH GLOVE IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Road Gloves: Short-finger designs provide a layer of protection and enhanced grip at the handlebars. Padding enhances comfort by reducing vibration and shock from rough road surfaces.
Dirt Gloves: Full-finger designs offer extra coverage to protect hands from falls, grit and grime, as well as enhancing grip of the bars. Padding helps to reduce impact energy without compromising grip or bar feel.
Winter Gloves: Winter gloves help to insulate against cold & moisture without compromising comfort or control at the handlebars. Every model offers a suggested temperature rating to help ensure you’re properly prepared.

Features
PITTARDS® LEATHER
Select Giro gloves feature Pittards® cabretta (hairsheep) leather chosen for its thin-but-tough structure. Pittards leathers undergo a special tanning process that helps the leather to absorb less water and resist sweat better than other leathers and synthetics. In addition to outstanding performance, no other material provides the fit and comfort of natural leather; it is a difference you will feel the moment you try on a pair of Giro gloves.
SUPER FIT™ ENGINEERING
Super Fit Engineering is a proprietary process that guides the fit, design, and patterning of every Giro glove for maximum comfort and performance. By carefully tailoring the palm, fingers, and padding zones to match the shape and size of the hand, Super Fit Engineering reduces bunching and discomfort while enhancing grip, bar feel, and the effectiveness of the padding. And with as many as six sizes available per model, almost any rider can find a great pair of gloves to match their needs.
TECHNOGEL®
Technogel® is a proprietary polyurethane material originally designed for medical applications. We use Technogel for the padding in our premium gloves because of its superior pressure distribution characteristics. When pressed between the glove and handlebar, Technogel molds itself to the hand by deforming along all three axes. Normal padding materials tend to deform only along one axis which causes pressure to accumulate in the direct contact zones. Giro gloves with Technogel provide: Superior pressure distribution - up to 300% better than standard gel, for enhanced comfort and protection from numbness over long periods of time. Excellent impact absorption - up to 30% better than standard gel, for protection from shocks and vibrations. Long-lasting performance - it does not harden or break down over time, so the glove stays supple and comfortable mile after mile.
THREE-PIECE PALM CONSTRUCTION
Our unique 3-piece palm construction tailors the fit of our gloves to reduce bunching, and allows your hands to move naturally for enhanced control that doesn't compromise bar feel. By designing each part of the palm to mimic a hand's features and articulation, Giro gloves increase grip and provide a superior level of protection for the entire hand.

Great protection and aesthetic, but discolours easily and the stitching comes apart
I don’t know if maybe I use these too much or what (I bike to work in a city using trails; largely flat terrain), but if these gloves stay wet too long, they darken permanently (I have the tan version). I’ve bought two pairs now and part of the stitching on both right-hand gloves are coming apart: the thumb on my first pair (reason why I decided to buy a second pair), and the pinky on the second pair. Maybe if you bike to work every day and bike to the park, do groceries, etc, that’s too much wear for these gloves. I can’t recommend them at the $70 price point and feel hesitant about the $39 price point, too. Shame because the leather and gel padding work really well. But since the stitching has come apart like this, I’m going to have to buy gloves from a different manufacturer. I’m really sad about that because this is my favourite design aesthetic-wise!
