The Louis Garneau Rex Gel Gloves are ergonomically designed to increase performance and comfort. The 5-channel Ergo Air ventilation system reduces fatigue of the ulnar and median nerves while absorbing and dissipating moisture. The Amara palm with 3-mm of gel adds to your comfort and grip with anti-shock properties. These gloves are made for smaller female hands and are really comfortable to wear. They are quite light weight and have a toweling wipe area on the thumb.
