I have a pair of Specialized BG gloves I finally wore out after several years.
Went to buy a new pair and according to their size chart I am size small so I ordered them.
Turned out to be way too small. I wore them for awhile hoping that they would stretch out but are too still too tight.
So now I am looking for something else. Would prefer something without too much bulk / padding.
Also easy to get on /off and don't fall apart after a few months. Thanks for any ideas.

After 20 odd years always wearing gloves I now don’t use any in summer. Find the bar shape and bar tape being used now is comfortable enough.

I'm a fan of isadore summer gloves. Great fit, thin padding, not sweaty. Would buy again straight away!

I have some Assos ones from a few years back and still going strong. They no longer make them but I'm sure the replacements would be as good.

I got the Q36.5 unique gloves and like them quite a bit. Feel very comfortable.

LEATT gloves have a wide range of fits and padding.

Trying the DBX3.0 and no issues in +30deg Celcius weather

Specialized Grail were always my go to glove until they changed them, the palm padding bunches up after one ride and they are rendered useless. I quite like Rapha Core, pretty basic but they are super comfy.

I rode without gloves for years, but recently got a pair of HIRZL Gripp Light gloves. I love them. Great grip, no padding, breathe well.

Does anyone have a good glove that has a towel piece on the back of the hand? I like this style to wipe sweat from my eyes.
