Just as important as a good pair of cycling shoes, a well-equipped rider needs a quality pair of cycling gloves. The Pearl Izumi Women's Gel Lite Tour Glove is packed with performance features designed with the rider's comfort in mind. First and foremost, gel inserts in the palm at the base of the thumb and across the base of the fingers offer excellent padding. While in the center of the palm, the Pearl Izumi Gel Lite Tour Glove includes the Direct Vent system, multiple layers of porous materials combining to provide ventilation, cushioning, durability, and reduce friction. Spandex in the back of the glove allows forgiving stretch to offset the glove's snug fit and a pull-on tab on the wrist makes them easy to put on and take off.
