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.

A nice comfortable glove with no Velcro, what's not to like!
The glove itself fits nice, easy to get on and off on the trail if you want to check your phone for trails maps etc. Keep in mind that even though you can operate the touch screen with the finger you still can't use the fingerprint scanner on your iphone ha ha.
I can stuff my hand in the Large version of this glove however I found it to be overly tight and was not long enough in the fingers, especially the thumb when trying to work the shifter. I went up one size to the XL and couldn't be happier.

These might be best when the weather's a little cooler and the trail starts getting a little over grown. Really durable, I've blasted through too much scrub oak and it doesn't even show, where as light weight gloves would have been shredded. So if you'd rather not replace gloves every season or so, these would do the trick.

I absolutely love these gloves. I have big hands and the XL fit me like a ..... er glove. All kidding aside this is actually my second pair of these gloves. After loosing one of the first pair I didn't even bother looking for other gloves to replace them. Out of the three pairs of summer gloves that I own these are my favorite. I like how the palms are thin and the backs are thick yet breathe very well so they don't feel hot. My hands feel protected and also comfortable.They also work very well with touch screens on phones.
I am also very pleased with Backcountry"s customer service. One of the gloves had a manufacturing defect. I called customer service and they sent me a return label and a replacement pair right away. Backcountry is a stand up company. They are the first place I look at for gear.
IoanPerfect grip
I just tried them today and i can homestly say they re awesome. My palms weren t sweaty, it grips really well to the handle bar and it absorbs a bit of the shock that you get going down. One thing is missing, smartphone compatibility :(
Warren YoungGearheadGreat gloves!

Gloves that breathe very well and are good, it does not have any padding if you were needing that, but if you need something to cover your whole hand. This is it and the price is great too! The palm is very grippy and the camo color is way awesome! Guess I could use it for airsoft as well.
Anthony ChukanovGood but not great

For the price you really cannot beat these, but if you have some extra $$ go ahead and grab something better. These just are not that breathable.
Dana HolmesEmployeeGreat basic gloves
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Fit and grip great. A perfect basic low cost glove for warm weather mountain biking. They don't have any velcro closure to mess with which I especially like, just throw them on and go.

Best mountain biking gloves hands down. They're made of high quality material that doesn't feel synthetic or cheap but at the same time the gloves are surprisingly breathable. Plenty of grip as well on the palms and pointer finger, not to mention the colors are all amazing.

These gloves are surprisingly nice for the price. They slip on and are comfortable and secure. They pretty durable too. The type of quality i'd expect from gloves twice this price.

Love these. You can see my complete review below, but wanted to share this photo from the CX portion of the Ski to Sea event up in Bellingham - still rocking the mediums as I prefer to break the gloves in slightly and have them fit tighter.

Excellent grip, Sooooo much grip. Love having the fingertip touch pads too for my electronics. Unfortunately, the pads do not work half the time. I am forced to use my tongue to take a pic or answer a call when I don’t want to pull off a glove.

Like a second skin. That's all I need, and they look cool too. Might not be super durable but aren't super expensive either.

NO complaints at all. There is a soft towel like fabric on the outside of the thumb that works great for wiping sweat when you are riding during the hot summer days. No velcro on the wrist but it fits great and much more comfortable because of that. Reasonably priced and they are holding up pretty good. I would say you can't go wrong.

Just used these down in Moab and St George. Comfortable and not too hot. Good grip on the bars. I like that there is no Velcro. Haven't taken a spill with them on yet, so the durability is TBD, but they seem tough enough.

"Simple, minimal, grips where you need it, breathes when you need it to. Splits in the index and middle finger make for a more ergonomic fit"
