Aero Tech Gel PADDED Leather and Cotton Crochet Fingerless Gloves

Best padding I've seen in a cycling glove. Can even use it to clear glass or other debris from your tires while riding; an old school technique.

XL size was a snug fit initially but has stretched over 4 rides. I miss having a terry section on thumb for wiping sweat, but the cotton mesh works well. Overall, well worth the money.

Only glove I could find with gel padding (without a gap) across entire palm. Very comfortable when riding on the top curve of road handlebars, or when riding on the brake lever hoods. Like the retro open-mesh back style. - wel ventilated, and can be used to wipe sweat. Reasonable price too.

Pro - Great! My last pair lasted over 20 years (I don't ride that much). Con - Had to re-stitch end of one thumb after first ride. And wish they were black.

excellent padding, low moisture retention , nice and cool. Padding in correct location eliminated palm soreness

The gloves were a perfect fit using the sizing instructions provided. The padding is usefully thick and the seams and stitching are clean and accurate. They are a good successor to my beloved Spenco Gel gloves.

Im an old school rider, and these to me are the gloves I started with, Great to see that you haven't changed with everyone else. Great fit very comfortable, Love them. Thanks

So far gift recipient really likes the gloves.

Repeat purchase, I prefer soft leather to gel, and covering middle of the palm was important choosing this glove

Great thick (but not too thick) padding in right places (for me, anyway--lower part of hand). Leather is soft and comfortable.

I ordered The XL , 53 yr. old male 6'2" 200 lbs, slim build. they seem big,but work, and maybe could have ordered the large, which is what the chart recommended, I thought.. too big is better than too small, next time I will get the large.They definitely helped with the carpal tunnel numbness, which is why I bought them, All the other gloves I've tried don't have padding in that area. Not real happy with the 80's styling.I wish they made a a modern styled glove with the correct padding placement for us old guys. Maybe Aero Tech could make a modern made in USA pair??? with the 80's padding placement.....

I love these gloves. The padding is thicker than the other colored gloves I ordered from Aerotech. The only disappointment however I see already is the leather is wearing out already. I only used them maybe 8 times so far.

shipping was slower than forecasted and gloves were too big and sloppy-fitting.
I took careful measurements of hand according to their sizing chart and still did not work.

When I see "gel padding", I think of Spenco-type silicone gel padding that is very shock-absorbing and resilient. However, I was quite mistaken, as the padding in these cycling gloves is very dense and unforgiving â?" I certainly would not describe them as "gel". I was more comfortable without these gloves and only using my padded handlebars.

Other than that, the leather and stitching were nice, but the handmade crocheting around a couple of fingers was so tight on the left that I could not even slip the glove over my fingers. (My hands are very average medium size and would have otherwise fit these gloves.)

For these two reasons, I did return the gloves, and ATD very kindly accommodated me.

In the end, the the padding was the greater disappointment.

The gloves feel good and seem to fit well.

good quality, comfortable, decent pricing.

So good, fixes nerve compacture!

Bought 2 pair (for spouse and me). Keep hands cooler on long summer bike rides.

Looked for a set of padded gloves when my aging hands smarted under the recoil of heavy revolvers at the range. Bought these sight-unseen through the net and they work great!

Cannot ever find decent gel gloves with actual padding for nerve problems. These are so much better than the poor quality lycra junk pedaled by Performance or other popular brands. These are similar to Trico brand bought a few years earlier. These are just the perfect gloves for distance cycling.

excellent padding for comfort and nice breathable mesh. this is my third pair I have ordered.

Out of the box the gloves and padding are firm, but through a few days on the road they have softened and conformed to my hands nicely. Padding seems more robust than many gloves I have tried. Use them on every ride.

I love the old-school look of these gloves, combined with gel padding. Cool and comfortable!

Bought these to use the right hand glove when shooting a large bore handgun ( 454 Casull - 2.5" barrel). The padding help with the recoil. Didn't want to spend $60+ on a popular "shooting gloves" who (mfg.) happened to be out of stock on a size large (really?)

Gel gloves these days usually have very thin gel paddling. However, these have the thickest gel that I could find. I truly hope these last a long time. They greatly reduce numbness in my fingers during a long mntn bike ride.

The gloves fit except for one finger on one hand. I popped the stitch and repaired it to fit. I don't mind needle work but the gloves were brand new. I recommend more thorough quality control and kevlar thread to stitch them. Gloves performed well.

The first pair sent to me had the palms stuck together at the gel pads. When I took them apart, the tan coloring came off from both gloves. Aerotech was very good at sending me a replacement pair. After a few rides, the tan coloring started to come off anyway. They seem to run large. I ordered medium, but they feel like large size. The gel pads and/or fit are not working for me because I'm feeling hand and finger numbness for the first time in many years of riding with different gloves. I will try a different brand after these wear out.

I bought the ATD gel gloves for a tour and was looking forward to wearing them. But two day into the ride I could not feel my little finger and his neighbor on either hand and switched back to my well worn Pearl Izumi gloves which helped get a tingle back. Reading about the the ATD gloves I felt confident that the design would make these gloves a good buy for $19.95 ;but that's not the case for me.

When my very old pair of crocheted gloves finally gave up the ghost, ATD was the only place that I could find new ones. They came quickly, are of high quality, and are exactly what I'd hoped.

I ordered the gloves to use on my Vespa. When I received them I thought they were well made and comfortable. Delivery time was impressive. Unfortunately the beige color started rubbing off within a week.
They did the job and I would buy them again were it not for the manufacturing defect. I also bought a pair of Giro gloves eleswhere and I find them better.
