AstraFlex™ Pro Riding Gloves (HF)

Excellent gloves. Comfortable, great padding, no pain. Wish there were loops for easier removal.

I just had to look back to see when I bought my first pair of this glove, January 2016. These are my go to gloves. Evidently, I bought them, along with a few other pairs, before I took off touring in Central America and Mexico. These are finally showing wear after all this time and I'll wear them 8 hours or more a day touring. Comfort is what I look for and these, as I said, are my go to gloves for long days in the saddle and I've been doing long days since 2012. Preventing numbness hasn't been too much of a problem with my handbuilt and measured for me Co-Motion Pangea, but having the padding these gloves contain has been phenomenal. I have drop bars as a added note. I usually won't take them off even when I stop for a beer or what not. Just comfy and flexible. I came back up to the states to visit family and friends, leaving my gear down south and just ordered 2 more pairs to take back with me. There is only one other pair I like as much as these, which I'm wearing in Florida riding my other bicycle around, but they are leather and too hot, plus I sweat a lot, so they won't do down there. I highly recommend these gloves, or at least from my experience with them since 2016. Bought More! I hope they are still the same.

Recommended by my physical therapist. Product was resilient and after some breaking in was very comfortable. Used them in an industrial setting where they saw a lot of various elements. They washed up well but did have a tendency to hold onto the grit and grime. The material properties just make this a fact of life. My only disappointment was the closure. While comfortable, it seemed like from day one the corners wanted to turn up. This led to them catching on things and opening the closure. Repeatedly addressing this became 'old'.

Mountain Bikes as well as sport bikes your hands fall asleep from the pressure on your grips. I've always had this on bikes until getting these gloves. These work. I just bought a pair for my wife.

I have a large hand and ordered the XLarge, with the appropriate fit. The density of the cushioned palm is perfect. The only drawback to the gloves was in the process of taking them off. There is a middle tab at the base of the middle finger, but that is pretty close to useless for me. I have to dig into each end of the finger gloves and pull on them, along with the thumb. My only concern is that I might tear the material overuse. Otherwise, I really do like the gloves and will order them again...hope they do something about some removal tabs in more areas.

These gloves are VERY nicely padded and their price is fantastic! They are still a 4littel work to take off after riding for hours and getting them all sweaty and stuck to my hands but no more so than other fingerless gloves.

Exactly as described. Helped tremendously by keeping my hands from going nb on 20 plus mile rides.

I bought these because I was having wrist pain when riding and wanted some extra cushion. While the padding is not gel like my Giro gloves, it is thicker. At first I wasn't sure it was much different. It doesn't totally eliminate wrist pain on longer rides (20+ miles mountain biking), but it keeps me from feeling it until near the end of a 20 mile ride and even then it's not as severe. Combine these gloves with relaxing your hands and adjusting position slightly as you ride and hopefully you will experience the relief that I have. Has made a world of difference with low cost investment. Add in the convenient terry cloth wipe feature on the thumb and you have a nice looking killer product. Side note, though they cover more of your hands, they do not make you feel hot or sweatier than any other glove...and I hate being hot. Fits as expected per advice in reviews. I have large hands so went with the XL.

First of all, order at least one size up. I typically take an XL in gloves and I ordered the XXL which fit perfectly. The red pair in the picture was purchased in 2016!!!! No issues with them. They are in a worn condition but there are no rips or tears. The replacement pair has more padding and the padding is more rigid. So far VERY happy and I hope I get 6 years out of this pair:)

Good padding like the full finger version Order 1-2 size larger, I ordered 1 size larger, fits fine but hard to remove

I just started riding about 6 months ago and had been getting numb fingers on every ride. I ride about 15-20 miles a day, and tend to rest the lower palm of my hand on the handle bars, . I went through 2 pairs of gloves. Bot pairs had the pads off to either side of the lower palm with a space down the middle. Those gloves gave me little or no relief during a ride. I found these gloves with the padding across the whole lower palm, and decided to give them a try. These gloves did the trick, they gave me the relief I was looking for and although my hands still get a little sore after a long ride, it is so much better than the other gloves I was using. If you ride resting your lower palms on the handle bars, and get numb fingers, I would suggest giving these gloves a try.

Wow, do you want to ride longer without hand pain, or numb fingers? Then buy these gloves. They are awesome. My husband loves to ride, but I could not ride that far with him without my fingers being numb or my nails tingling. I tried raising my handle bars, but my hands still hurt. Then, I bought these gloves. OMG! the padding is in just the right place to keep my hands from killing me. Last week we rode 15 miles and my hands were fine. It has changed my ability to ride longer distances (longer for me), and has GREATLY added to my riding enjoyment. These gloves are good quality and fit really well. They go on easy and the finger pull allows for quick removal. They are so comfortable that I forget that I am wearing them! I've been using these gloves for several weeks and have ridden about 50 miles. So far, so good. I priced other gloves and these are a steal, comparatively.

I tried several different gloves before I decided to pick these. My main goal was to have a lot of padding on the palms. As my weight is always pushing down on my handlebars. This causes me pain and numbness. This is where these were far and away the best. One of the gloves I tried were the full fingered by NICEWIN. I liked the look and warmth these gave, but I found they constricted my fingers and caused pain after riding for a while. A bigger size might of prevented this. I found while shopping for bike gloves, if you're anywhere near the split you should buy the next bigger size as slightly bigger is better then tight.

Especially for the price, these can't be beat. Padding is really good on the palm and helps a lot with the pain I've been having. Only complaint I have is that the sweat band isn't very large. Would be nice if it was extended down beyond the velcro closure strap.

Very good gloves, just hard to remove after a 20 mile bike ride.

That being said, I'm not using them for quite the intended use. While I was a serious roady for some years, I use them now to protect my hands at work. I have driven trucks for four decades and that, plus 3 decades riding rigids and vertical twins ( I realize few will understand that) have left my hands very sensitive to pressure and vibration. Working twelve to fifteen hours a day driving for a crew for the summer, I had to find something well padded when my other wore out. The reviews here, and a couple other bike forums, convinced my to order these. Well, a few days and a couple thousand miles (mostly on dirt roads), behind me now, I will say, "they work for me". I have no pain at all at the end of the day. The tab to help remove them is optimistic at best. Now that they are breaking in, they are already getting easier to remove by pulling the middle finger (no other way to say it!). The padding is great and then there is the closure strap. While it wasn't uncomfortable, it was a bit larger than seemed necessary. A pair of scissors handled the problem. While this is working fine, if I was still riding, I don't think I would have. I have fairly big, thick hands and the 2x starting to fit nicely. A good purchase.

They are MOST COMFORTABLE glove I have ever used. I have been cycling for 40 years+ , ouch, I am getting old, lol. I have raced competitively, I am a licensed coach, I have been through all the name brands and price points. These simply are comfortable and great to wear. I give it 5 stars due to all that. They are harder than others to pull off however. They last about 1 season...maybe less if you are a high mileage rider. But for the money, these things cannot be beat. I am on my second pair now.

I desperately needed new gloves. My old gloves were worn out and the padding was not helping relieve my lower hand pain. After riding a 34 mile mountain bike ride, my hand near my the base of my thumb was hurting badly. I took a week off of riding, then I put bubble wrap on my hand grips. that did not help. Then I bought these gloves, for half the price of the "name brand" gloves. The padding on these gloves fits exactly where I was having pain. These gloves have helped me get back on the bike and get back to long rides. I will buy another pair for sure.

This is the second pair of cycling gloves I have ordered, so, having over 2 years experience with the first pair, I feel qualified to offer an endorsement. I really like the 5mm padding, even though I ride primarily on the road. The extra padding just helps reduce palm and wrist fatigue. Also, they are extremely durable. I am a frequent rider, typically two to three times a week, and these gloves have held up very well. The XL’s I bought fit my hand snugly at first, but loosened up a bit after the first several rides. The sizing seems about right. I rated the gloves a bit lower for “easy to remove”, but then again, I’ve never had a pair that are truly easy to remove, once your hands get sweaty, etc. The gloves need to fit snugly or they won’t work properly, and for me at least, any pair I’ve used in nearly 50 years of adult cycling have required a little tugging to remove. Anyway, I can highly recommend the these cycling gloves.

The padding is perfect. I had bicycles palsy ( numb hands). These do the job. The only issue i have is the strap could be more adjustable for larger hands
