When your ride demands comfort, control, and confidence on every mile, the Women's Elite Gel Gloves deliver. These fingerless gloves are engineered for long days in the saddle, and built with strategically placed 3D gel padding to reduce pressure on sensitive nerves, absorb road vibration, and keep your hands feeling fresh from the first climb to the final cooldown.
The synthetic leather palm enhances bar feel and durability, while the soft, moisture-wicking back of hand fabric keeps airflow moving even on hot summer days. A low-profile hook-and-loop closure ensures a secure, customizable fit, and the pull-off tabs make post-ride removal quick and easy.
With a women's-specific fit and a focus on all-day comfort, these gloves are a must-have for road, gravel, or mixed-surface rides.

USE SIMPLE DETERGENTS WITH NO ADDITIVES Never use detergents with fabric softeners, perfumes or any additive type product. The general rule of thumb is the simpler the better. Many detergents with additives leave "surfactants" behind on a fabric's fibers that inhibit the technical performance. Typically the best detergents to use will have "Clear" or "Free" in their names. Don't pour the detergent directly onto the clothing, put it in the washer first, when you start the water. If something is not functionally working, but is not dirty, try rinsing it twice in warm to hot water. This will help get rid of the harmful surfactants. READ THE CONTENT CARE LABEL: On the inside of your garment, or on the hangcard, there are instructions for the care of that individual piece. On garments this will be on a side seam or back seam label. Follow those directions. On finer fabrics, use a "Gentle" cycle. Close all zippers, attach "hook and loop" closures on gloves YOU CAN USE THE DRYER, CAREFULLY: If you use a dryer be sure to use a lower / warm heat setting (Do NOT use a commercial dryer or a "Hot" setting). This will often restore the fabric and help the water and wind repellent qualities. If in doubt, hang the clothing to dry.
FAQs
The Women's Elite Gel Gloves are fingerless, gel-padded women's cycling gloves built for long days in the saddle on road and gravel.
- Do padded cycling gloves help with hand numbness?
Yes. The 3D gel padding is placed to reduce pressure on the sensitive nerves in your palm and absorb road vibration, so your hands stay fresher from the first climb to the cooldown. - How are they different from men's gloves?
They're cut to a women's-specific fit rather than sized down from a men's pattern, so the padding sits where your hands actually meet the bars. See the Size & Fit Guide for sizing. - What is the palm made of?
A synthetic leather palm that improves bar feel and durability, with a soft, moisture-moving back of hand that keeps air flowing on hot days. - Are they easy to take off?
Yes. Pull-off tabs make removal quick without turning them inside out, and a low-profile hook-and-loop closure adjusts the fit. - How do they compare to the Women's Quest Gel Gloves?
The Women's Quest Gel Gloves are a comfortable everyday padded glove. The Elite Gel Gloves add 3D gel padding built for longer rides. - How do I wash cycling gloves?
Close the hook-and-loop closure so it doesn't snag, wash cold on a gentle cycle, and skip fabric softener. Air-dry away from direct heat.

Reviews
Run Very Small
"My measurement is 7 3/4 so according to the chart, I should be a Medium. In the past, I always ordered a Large because I knew they ran a bit small. I just ordered a Large in the non-refundable sale color, and it was way too tight. I ordered the XL and it fits okay, but again a bit tighter than I would like. Hopefully, they will loosen up over time. I wish they would fix the sizing. Otherwise, the gloves are nice."
Nice but tight fit
"Nice color and design. However, I measured my palm and purchased Medium based on that measurement and they are *really* tight. Guess I needed a Large. Can't imagine what someone with big hands would need."
Nice, But 4 Stars
"Nice gloves, padding is good, fit is tighter than previous Pearl Izumi glove purchases of same size."
Satisfied
"I like the gloves but when I initially put them on they seemed tight. I used their fitting chart and measured my hands before ordering and came up Large. I do have large hands for a woman and next time will order an extra large. But, after riding with them about 3 long rides now, they are fine."
Bike gloves
"They are comfortable but hard to get off. Maybe after they get broken in they’ll be better. It would be helpful to have a tab on the thumb to help pull them off."
Smaller than expected
"The overrall quality of the gloves is fine. However, the Women’s XL size is much smaller than expected. There was no XXL option available on the order form. My BMI (body mass index) is 27. 5, which is lower than average for females over 50 years of age in the USA. Please consider adding an XXL option to your size availability."
Runs small
"The gloves run small. I typically wear a large which is what I ordered but they are very tight. They look more like a small or medium."
Glove Sizing is Way Off
"Generally, look and feel and cushion are fine. Sizing of the gloves is not accurate. Years ago, I wore a M, then I had to size up to a L, and this time I went to the XL. I'm over 65 years old with small hands, and my hands have not grown two sizes! The wrist entry area is much too tight, which makes it very difficult to get the gloves on and then especially off when hands are sweaty. Do better, PI. I'll be switching to another brand next time."
Fell apart on first wear
"The stitching came out the first time I wore them."
Biking glove
"Nice quality, but not exactly what I was expect"
