NOTE: I was contacted directly and was sent this product for free. I was asked to use it fully and to write an honest, unbiased review. My being given a free item in no way influenced my review of this product.My hubby loves riding his mountain bike, so when I was asked to review these mountain bike/road bike gloves he was the obvious choice to road test them to see how they were in action, so to speak.When they arrived I inspected them closely to assess their construction. I am happy to say they are very well made, appearing strong and durable and with good, secure stitching. I admired the silica gel palm pads rather enviously, as they appeared more protective than my weight-training gloves for sure! As is usual with gloves of this type, they close with a velcro fastening to secure them to the wrists and all seemed very well made.I chose large for my hubby and when he tried them on for the first time he found them to fit perfectly. See accompanying photographs. We both thought they looked very good on him too, complimenting the red and black design of his bike, though matching colours isn’t important to him. What mattered to him was how comfortable they were to wear, how secure he was if his hands started to sweat and if they aided his cycling at all.He’s worn them on every single bike ride he’s been on since they arrived and I am pleased to say they still look like new, and he has done some serious miles as he’s someone who likes to cycle to keep fit and also for pleasure. He said the gel pads are ‘fantastic’ and make gripping the handle bars very comfortable and afforded him a more secure grip. He suffered no sweaty palms as the gloves which are breathable and moisture wicking just stopped that issue totally.The only thing that initially puzzled the both of us was two little straps on the ends of the fingers on each glove. Neither of us had any idea what they were for until I came online here to see if there was any clue :) Yep, they are to assist removal of the gloves which understandably give a close fit. When you tug these little straps, the gloves come off so much easier! Great design feature. It was obviously the both of us being stupid not knowing what they were for, as they were not on his last pair of cycling gloves. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it ha.So, the finger pull tabs are great! they work. The silica gel pads are very effective and assure maximum comfort when riding and the gloves themselves are exceptionally well made and look fabulous when worn. A first class pair of cycling gloves that I am happy to recommend to any lover of cycling.My hubby loves his pair.VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

As luck would have it these arrived literally at the last minute before setting off on what turned out to be a 274 mile cycle trip along the Transpennine Trail over 5 days with my son.I’d packed my other cycling gloves but decided to try these out at the start of the ride and liked them so much I found myself wearing them throughout the ride.Having measured my hand according to the picture of the sizing chart I ordered large in funky yellow. Note the size chart seems to indicate measuring the distance around your hand, but the figures refer to the distance across your hand. I measured around 9 cm across my hand and Large were a perfect fit.They arrived in a neat zippered bag which you can store them in. On the trip I didn’t use the bag to store the gloves but it did prove very handy for storing loose change and other small items.The gloves come with a little booklet detailing eight design features:-• Breathable holes• Velcro fastening• Reflective stripe• Elastic materials• 3D tailoring• Skid-proof materials• Finger drawstring• Silica gel paddingIn use the features I liked were the drawstrings between the fingers (small loops you can pull on) which greatly ease taking the gloves off. (My other gloves were a real pain in this respect - it's surprisingly difficult to take off fingerless gloves without these loops.) The fit of the gloves is really secure without feeling restrictive or tight. The material on the palms is incredibly grippy, really good for holding the handlebars on uneven ground and the padding provides comfort even on long rides. The thumb area has an absorbent section which is really handy for wiping away sweat.Overall the impression is that these have been designed by someone who knows about cycling and manufactured with care to a high standard.I thought I’d be changing gloves during the trip, but found these so comfortable that I wore them throughout. My palms didn’t sweat at all and I even found myself keeping the gloves on during rest breaks on the ride.They inevitably picked up some grime along the way, (see second photo) but apart from needing a good wash, they’re as good as new and have now become my first choice pair.I was delighted to be offered these gloves for an unbiased review.

So I've been looking for cycling gloves to support my hands for ages, ones that feel and look good. I also use my phone regularly so wanted ones that would allow me to type without having to take them off. Eventually opted for buying the Zookki ones as the price was very attractive compared to what's out there and they looked nice!They arrived in good condition and looked fairly true to the picture! They are nice looking gloves and a few people have asked me where they are from already! The provide you with a good grip whilst keeping hands warm but not sweaty. The grip makes it easier to do tricks on the bikes and have better grip stability. I ended up using them at the gym for things like pull ups, lifting, dips etc... They were great!! they gave me the stability that I was looking for so I was able to improve my technique and endurance. It also means I won't have to worry as much about callus on my palms!The only thing about these gloves is the fit. I have fairly small hands and they are a bit too big. You can adjust the fit on the wrist but they look a tiny bit big around the palm. Nevertheless they are ok!so to sum up:Pros:They look great!They have a great grip!Can use fingers for phone, typing etc...They keep hands warmThey are ideal for gym workoutsConsFit could be better!I gave them five starts as they are a great value for the price!
