We've long ridden with the mantra 'if it ain't broken don't fix it,' and while we think this saying holds a lot of water in quite a few areas, we admit that it has its shortcomings. For example, if the designers at Pearl Izumi carried on with this mantra we wouldn't receive the generous updates we didn't even know we'd want in the Elite Gel Full-Finger Gloves. These gloves provide tactile grip, and new 3D shaped pads that reduce bulk for a streamlined fit, which pairs with new 4-way stretch synthetic palms for total comfort.
