Title: BICYCLING Magazine Best Gear Pick (The Wrong Pick)
Review: Having read many reviews about different gloves the BICYCLING magazine gear of the year pick for 2006 was the Pearl Izumi Gel-Vent Pro Glove. Purchasing a pair I found that it was clear that the BICYCLING testers hadn't worn their gloves for very long. Within a month of regular short and long distance rides a hole developed between the thumb and index finger. After a summer of use more holes. A good pair of gloves (while in rotation with other gloves) should last a few seasons (with-standing light washes with the rest of your cycling gear.) This pair barely made it through one season of good weather riding. I would highly recommend looking at either a different model of gloves from Pearl Izumi or to a different brand altogether.Happy cycling!Pro-Great venting for hot ridesGood paddingCon-Terrible construction and materialsPoor value
