DND Glove - Men's

Simple and effective.
When you pull on the DND Gloves, you're treating your hands to technical features, expert craftsmanship, and Giro quality. So, how did this enticing level of perfection come into existence? Simple. The DND Super Fit design has evolved with Giro's diverse team of cyclists and engineers on trails all over the world for multiple years.
This latest iteration uses a palm constructed from three pieces of durable Clarino synthetic leather. This ensures that the glove won't end up like unsolicited credit offers when you plant the DND on rocks. But, most importantly, the three Super Fit panels expertly follow your palms' natural contours to eliminate any bunching at the grips, where blood flow and trail feedback are most essential.
The precise theme continues to the back of the hand as well. Here, you'll find a moisture-wicking, four-way stretch mesh. This material is not only breathable, but it's also snug enough to quickly pull away and evaporate moisture without inhibiting circulation. Along the fingers, flex zones at the knuckles ensure shifting and braking happens as fast as neurons fire. Meanwhile, reinforced tips with silicone grippers are hard-wearing for durability, while also ensuring positive engagement with the levers.
The Giro DND Gloves are available in five sizes, from Small to XX-Large, and in the colors Black/charcoal, Black/rad star, Blue Tech, and Bright Green/black, Green Camo/gum, and Lead/gum.

Too skinny

First off, I have relatively wide palms and short fingers, so most gloves give me that extra pooch at the finger tips. However, I have had Fly Racing gloves that consistently give me plenty of palm width with zero pooch at the finger tips. Knowing the competition, I consider these to be poor fit. I struggle to put it on, feels like I am going to rip the cuff (other gloves without the Velcro closure don't have this problem). Once they are on, the palms have a weird ripple on the ulnar aspect. The quality and padding seem quite good. Other Giro gloves seem to have inconsistent sizing across the different models.

Medium size is like a small kid size. Material is thin, no wonder it is cheap. Returned soon as I received it.

I'm on pair #2 of these gloves. The first pair was kind of a shot in the dark after years of failing specialized gloves. The first pair of these DND gloves lasted about 2 years and I originally bought them through Ibis Cycles because they matched my Ripmo (because I like to match my stuff). These gloves are very soft on the palm side and comfortable although over time they do toughen up. There is just enough padding on the heel of the palm to keep things comfy on longer rides. The back of the hand also breathes very well on hot days despite not being a ventilated mesh. The large fit my hand perfectly. No extra material at the fingertips, and no "webbed" fingers. The closure-free wrist is just big enough to get my hand through and feels fitted once the gloves are on. Normally I'm pretty tough on gloves so the fact that these are this comfortable, and have lasted longer than any other gloves I've had make these my favorite. The fact that they are also some of the more affordable gloves mean I will be recommending these to everyone.

These are my favorite pair of gloves for getting DND. No velcro, soft snot patch and touch screen compatible. They are a bit thicker/hotter but won't rip the first time the palm touches dirt. Own a few pairs.

Great fit and bar feel

These gloves have an excellent, tight for with no extra slack. They have a good amount of stretch to them as well which makes them super comfortable. They feel great on the handlebars and provide solid group even when my hands are very sweaty. I've fallen a few times with them now and they held up great and protected my hands. Highly recommend!

Love the glove, fits perfectly. Not sure how durable it is, as I have not used it long enough. I'd suggest to wash it before first ride.

Best gloves at the price point IMO.

I bought two pairs of these gloves. One for me and my brother. The sizing is accurate and the glove fits like a glove! There is no looseness or empty space in the glove and this allows me to have maximum feel of my bike grips. No matter how sweaty my hands have gotten, these have maintained grip on my handles. They also offer some abrasion protection. I fell a couple times in these and each time I have gotten away with no rash on my hands but rash on other unprotected parts of my body. The ventilation is also decent as there is some perforation, but I think it could be better. The reason I give 5 stars is because of the amazing fit, flexibility, and bar feel.

My Ride or Die Glove

I absolutely love these gloves. I bought my first pair, which I still have and still use, at a bike shop about 6 years ago. I've been expanding my collection every year by adding a new pair or two. The fabric is comfortable and stretchy; tough but breathable. The leather palms offer great grip on all of the different grips I've used over the years. I've definitely used the nose wipe a time or two and it isn't bad. It isn't the softest but you can't expect a Kleenex on the side of your mountain bike glove. I definitely recommend these gloves. Make sure to follow the recommended washing instructions and don't just buy one pair and they'll last you miles and miles!
