Whether you spend more time on pavement or off-road, gloves should be an essential part of everyone’s cycling kit. A good pair of cycling gloves not only provides protection against the sun and debris but also improves your dexterity and grip. In this review we’ll be looking at the current Lizard Skins long sleeve Monitor glove range which includes the Ops, Ignite and Traverse variations. Lizard Skins has applied their expertise in handlebar grips to create these three variations to satisfy a wide range of cyclists. These are well priced gloves with both the Ops and Ignite sharing a retail price of $ while the Traverse is $. Lizard Skins offers each glove in three color variations and size ranges from XS to XXL. To help differentiate the gloves from each other, each model has a few distinct features: the Ops has knuckle padding, the Ignite has Cool Max mesh back and the Traverse has a gel-padded palm. Let’s break down each model and then give you our thoughts on how to choose between them. The Lizard Skins Monitor Ops are perhaps one of the most luxurious variations of the Monitor lineup. With a one-piece AX suede palm and flexible mesh back the gloves feel soft and look premium at any angle. Lizard Skins currently offers the gloves in three color schemes: jet black, graphite gray and the crimson red we have in this review. It’s an attractive design with the wrist, back of the gloves sharing the accent color while the palm is black suede. Branding is limited to Lizard Skins printed in a shiny gel-like finish above the knuckles. We would describe the gloves as mid-weight as the suede adds some thickness and a bit of insulation. One of the highlights of the Ops gloves are the strategically placed knuckle pads. This is a small sewn-on gel padding region that extends from the knuckles of the pinky and ring finger to the proximal joints. The placement makes it ideal for mountain bikers or even commuters to protect against any impacts. For improved grip the index and middle finger tips also have silicone strips. The gloves also have a neoprene wrist cuff along with a Velcro strap to adjust to different wrist sizes. The combination of padding and the Velcro provide a nice secure fit that helps keep out dirt or cold air from getting through. ...
