Out of the three pairs of gloves that 100% sent for our consideration, the Ridefit was easily my favorite. It wasn’t difficult to knock the iTrack model out of the running because the factory decided not to finish them prior to sending them out.
Not only did the
claimed touchscreen capability not work, but one of the seams blew out while I
was trying the gloves on at my desk. Too bad–they had such promise. The
Simi model showed promise, too, but had a bit more protection than I need in an
everyday glove. The Ridefit was just what I was looking for–the materials are a
perfect blend of lightness, breathability and resilience. Based on the iTrack
experience, I wasn’t expecting construction to be very good, but it was
actually top notch. All the seams are bomber, and the touchscreen fingers work
reliably. The Ridefit, as the name suggests, fit so well that they seemed to
disappear on my hands. These and the Giro Rivets have a lot in common. Both are
minimalistic, but I like that the Ridefit doesn’t use mesh between the fingers.
Also, those who prefer a Velcro cuff closure should check this glove out.
