I'm hard on gloves, and by the end of a season I usually lose count of how many pairs of I've gone through. Part of this has to do with my preference for gloves that are as thin as possible, which often leads to them having a fairly brief lifespan. I figured that would be the case with the Guanto, but they proved me wrong, somehow surviving over four months of hard riding. The silicone grippers have worn off of the index finger, but that seems to be par for the course with any glove, and although the palm fabric has pilled up it's still holding strong. A seam is beginning to come apart on one of the thumbs, but this was likely due to a crash or a branch poking through it rather than any fault in workmanship. Even the Velcro wrist closure is still functioning perfectly, despite repeated cycles through the washing machine. Other than the fact that they're lacking any sort of snot wipe on the thumbs, the only real downside to the Guanto gloves is their price. At nearly $40 USD they sit on the high end of the spectrum, especially for such a simple glove. Granted, they fit well, and far exceeded my expectations in the durability department, but even with those facts in mind the price is still a touch steep. - Mike Kazimer |
