The Men's PRO Air Glove is our lightest and most breathable road glove, engineered for riders who want peak tactile feedback without compromising protection. Designed to vanish on your hand, this men's cycling glove is built for long climbs, high-output efforts, and summer races where ventilation and bar feel matter most.
The minimalist design features a recycled AX® Suede Laredo synthetic leather palm that delivers exceptional grip with a barely-there sensation, enhancing control on technical descents and fast-paced sprints. A mesh back panel and perforated palm promote continuous airflow, helping manage sweat and prevent overheating during warm-weather rides. With a slip-on cuff, there's no bulky closure system to disrupt your aero profile or interfere with a smooth wrist transition, making this glove a favorite among road racers and endurance athletes alike.
Additional refinements include a microfiber nose wipe for on-the-go convenience and BioViz™ reflective details that improve visibility in low-light conditions. Every element is tuned to keep your hands cool, dry, and in control, ride after ride, mile after mile.
Pair it with the Men's PRO Jersey and Men's PRO Bib Shorts to complete your race-day kit, or explore more men's bike gloves to match your riding goals.

Reviews
Small opening
"These gloves were ordered in the same size that I currently wear in a PI glove. Since these gloves do not have a Velcro strap at the opening, I could not get them on. If I order the next bigger size, I may be able to get them on, but they might be loose. Since they are a size small, I gave them to my wife."
New type of glove for me is great for MTB.
"Great fit, nice leather quality and the feel without padding is perfect for MTB."
Bring back the Pro Gel Glove
"I’ve had three pair of the pro gel gloves, which were my favorite gloves of all time. I’ve always worn a size large in all Pearl Izumi gloves. When the Pro Air gloves arrived, I wasn’t even able to get my hands inside, they were tiny. If I were able to get them inside, there’s absolutely no padding whatsoever. I’m not sure who Pearl Izumi is designing these products for? Perhaps pro racers don’t want or need padding that the older gloves provided. Since I like the brand, I had to downgrade to the elite glove, which still fit in a size large."
Terrible. I have been purchasing
"Terrible. I have been purchasing Pearl Izumi products for many, many years. First I purchased the large, as I have with ALL of my gloves. I couldn't even get them past my hands. I ended up giving them to my wife. I decided to try XL and these too are tight but I managed to get them. Are you kidding? I also find the cloth layer at the end of the base of each finger to be a bit uncomfortable. I'll probably just give these away too. Thanks."
No longer numb hands
"They are great. Hands don’t go numb any longer. Thank you"
Men's PRO Air Gloves
"Super tight and no padding. Will be returning for exchange."
Perfect !!
"Perfect !!"
Too small, poor quality seams
"As others have said, these run small. I had an older pair of PI gloves in S so I ordered these in S. They’re very hard to take on/off. Due to the tight fit, the seams are popping on the left glove after only a couple months of use. The good: once they’re on, they feel great. Nice summer weight glove with good grip, if only they were more durable."

"Well made, just a tad small, maybe my paws are larger than I thought."
