My second pair. First pair lasted five years of all year riding. Excellent product at a very reasonable price.
This is my 2nd pair, as the velcro on my first pair is pretty raggy going into my 3rd year of riding. I've ridden plenty in rain and they have kept my hands dry, however the velcro went on the wrist.
So my new pair arrived next day as is usual with SportsBikeShop, however the same size (M) was too tight so I sent them back and got a Large pair (excellent service again by SBS), which are still tight over the knuckles (literally leaving red marks on them and painful after an hour of riding). I fully expect them stretch into shape after 4-5 hours of riding.
I've used these gloves down to 1C (late one night in cold pouring rain) but I would qualify they are good down to 5C provided you have heated grips.
All my gear is Held with the exception of my boots. I love the quality finish and they are all fully waterproof, gloves, jacket and trousers. That's probably why I don't mind riding in the rain.
Very comfortable gloves. I went for M and they were a little tight to begin with, but soon stretched a little (as all leather gloves do) and after 2 rides these gloves are amazingly comfortable! First time I've bought Held gloves, but will certainly buy again! 5*
Good fit comfortable flexible would recommend these.
Bought a larger size as recommended and the gloves fit snugly.. Can't fault the quality, workmanship and materials that's gone into the making of these gloves.. Well pleased!
The size comes up bit small , I sent back med and brought XL instead.
I haven't tested on road yet as I'm still waiting for my bike to come.
Once I got the size right...larger than I originally ordered...this turned out to be a very satisfying purchase. The fit is excellent, the glove fits snugly with no stiffness or discomfort and the protection inspires confidence.
Good quality gloves for the price, sizing is smaller than expected had to get a larger size then the chart said from my measurements.
Comfortable from the off, another quality product from Held, well chuffed
Slightly tight fit but I prefer that. Comfortable and great grip
Very good quality, size are correct. Perfect fit, good price for good gloves. Fast delivery. Recommend
Just received my Held Sparrow
gloves,and as usual with all Held products the quality is first class,they will provide me
with miles of happy riding
I have 3 pairs of Held gloves. Quality is always excellent and I cannot fault them.
Great service as always from Sportsbikeshop
My jacket, trousers and glove are all Held, and I cannot fault any of it. The quality is great on the gloves. I bought them a bit tight but by the second ride they fit just beautifully. They have two wrist straps which are a bit fiddly however the glove fits like a second skin because of it. Quality piece of kit.
I was chosen as the winner of the weekly giveaways on twitter. I originally opted for the Medium size which is what my RST Blade gloves were but found them to be way too tight. After changing to a Large pair I've done several hundred miles on them. Incredibly comfortable, fit very well. Even as a freebie they are worth the price without a doubt, fantastic pair of gloves and you wouldn't go wrong with a pair on your hands!
As I have 6 fingers on each hand I was concerned about the fit.
My worries we're unfounded as they went on smoother than a freshly buttered bannister :)
Perfect gloves. Just a bit on the small side. The quality of materials and craftsmanship are excellent, as you can expect from Held.
Too many people have told me Held gloves are by far the best. I thought I would try out the lower end of the range. These are fantastic, a medium weight spring / autumn glove. Fitted as expected, leather feels nice and branding logos are modest. I'll be buying more from Held come summer.
