Giro Tessa Gel Glove – Women’s Grey/White, M
Whether you’re rolling out on an all-day gravel tour or clipping in for a harried series of post-work intervals, your cycling gloves’ jobs are equal parts moisture management and chatter diffusion. The Giro Tessa Gel Gloves has both roles covered, using a synthetic palm/upper combination to maximize breathability and situating a bit of gel cushion between your hands and the hoods. Though the gloves are built to keep your hands dry, the accumulation of moisture is inevitable in the hottest conditions, and that can lead to hands that slip around inside the gloves. In our experience, no gloves are immune to this. Giro’s Super Fit aims to minimize this by, in part, constructing the palm from multiple panels arrayed to minimize the risk of bunching or of an ill-fit that encourages those slippery moments.

Good Product After comparing a ton of cycling gloves and knowing the price point I was ok with, I decided these would be a solid choice for me. I requested a small based on the size chart I found online but the packaging and tags on the ones I received say large. Whether this is a back-end conversion that they automatically do to prevent confusion I don’t know but I have had a similar size reference in the chamois cycle pants I purchased recently. These fit great, look great, and work well. The tag says…
Fit is comfortable and breathable Second pair, this time in Titanium/Yellow Highlight. Last pair saved my hands from getting scrapped up on the concrete when a particularly fiendish railroad track gave my tire a hug. Fit is comfortable and breathable, feels like a second skin. Color is a bit more on the yellow-green side, very visible. First pair held up just fine, but I decided to upgrade from the boring grey to the super stylish high visibility yellow/green. I like to make a fashion statement on my ride, and nothing says it…
