Not sure how this could happen - no crashes, no tire changing, only riding. Right thumb is shot, left thumb looks fine. Maybe your folks need to look at material QC? I like the gloves, they are a snug fit and breathe well in the heat.

I didn’t think I would like these because of the padding because I use ESI grips and non padded gloves regularly but these have the pads in just the right spots to were I still have good grip and control of the bar and even more padded comfort feel and gives me more of a sense of protection if I had to slide on my hands.

perfect amount of padding on the palm. lightwieght glove

The comfort with the padding is quite good, true size so you can order them according to your usual size, they fit well and great quality

I’ve been using these gloves for about two months for mountain and gravel biking and they’ve held up pretty well even after a few falls. I just used them for a 78 mile gravel race and the gel padding was awesome.

Fit well and padding is comfortable on rough roads.

Purchased these gloves when my old Body Geometry gloves wore out. The old ones lasted a very long time and I was very satisfied with them. Purchased a new pair in September, 2023. Noticed the new gloves seemed to be a lot thinner and lower quality than my previous gloves. As of January, 2024 the palm has ripped on the left glove and the overall condition of the gloves is no longer good. The material is falling apart and I cannot recommend these gloves to anyone that expects them to last more than a few months. Had high hopes for these, but didn't happen...

Good gloves. Just wish they had a larger selection for a wider range of hand characteristics even if this translates to a higher price point

Nice pair of gloves but doesn’t work well when using a phone.

The size chart is spot-on for me with size large; my hand measures within each of the specified dimension ranges for size large, and the gloves fit perfectly. They are comfortable, although the padding at the top of the palm flattens out after about 1000 km of riding, which equates to roughly 30 washes. My main complaint is that the right thumb fabric wears away (disappears) due to contact with the shifter (XT). This happens after only 250-300 km. Double-up the fabric there and I’ll give them five stars.

Fits perfect, nice light weight with not compromising quality. Specialized has the best customer service in the industry.

Perfect gloves, great value for money, fit me and looks amazing. Light, breathable, dry quickly. I used those in +20 ~ +16 C no discomfort, feels great. When I used those on a bike that required good grip to brake I felt lack of gel pad between index finger and thumb. Yet with normal brakes everything feels amazing

I love the fit

When it comes to the touchpoints on an ultra endurance XC race, these gloves make holding on to the bar super easy.

Glove works fine. Not a big fan of the velcro closure.

Very nice light weight glove for the shoulder season, when it’s a bit too cold to ride with fingerless gloves but too warm for thermal gloves

Really comfortable and significantly help with hand pain. Best price and quick free delivery.

Good glove. Protection of Median nerve.

Great size fit very comfortably with the extra padding.

I really like the glove. It is comfortable and relatively low priced. I don’t like the top which is a mesh-like textile which means you may get cold in winter as wind passes through. My previous one from Gore was windproof. Anyway, I will only know how it feels in winter later in the year, for now it feels pretty good.

Using them right now for indoor rides. My hands aren’t sliding on handlebars anymore

Comfortable yet tight fit gloves with padding in the right places. I’ve used these gloves in warm weather for regular group rides and loaded touring. They have held up well. Would purchase again.
