Stay away from Giro Monaco gloves. They look and fit great, but as soon as they get wet all the dye on the inside leather transfers to your hands. It also stains everything it touches (other cycling gear), so a bit of a mess.

I wrote Giro a strongly worded mail about it on Sunday afternoon (still with black hands after trying everything to remove the stains!), but they haven't bothered to reply yet.

 

And just to add on to this, I had the same pair of Giros which stained my hands and then once I had washed the gloves just as I had done with my 2 year old Specialized's the leather on the palm of the Giro's had complete structural failure. Which left me with a useless pair of two month of expensive gloves! So I am back on my Specialized... Still planning on giving them a piece of my mind!

I use these boytjies, lekka fat pad on the palm & pretty tough. Cheap Cheap on CRC..

were moered with a hammer, hope they help??
