soft

By Re Wikstrom October 2, 2008

i measure 7 inches from tip of middle finger to wrist and 4 inches across my palm (8 inches around the palm), and i wear a size Large. i find the base of the fingers to be a little on the snug side but maybe i haven't worn them in enough yet (i have another pair of PI gloves that don't have this problem, so maybe i am forgetting about the break-in period). I like the big cush padding in the base of the palm and the reinforcement at the base of the fingers. I wish they would put padding in that part that doesn't fall apart like their other gloves (i.e. similar design to the padding they did use in the palm) but that's just me. I don't see why we have to assume calluses are normal when they can be prevented with a little bit of padding (they just need to make the padding quality.... the best gloves i ever had were a pair of Scotts but those seem REALLY hard to find in the US for some reason.) anyway....on another high note, the soft fabric for the nose-wipe thumb seems extra soft on these, real nice as we head into fall with cooler riding and the occasional need for a nose wipe from the cold.
