Bad sizing, worse support
Sizes are simply too small when compared with the other Mitts. I hurt my hands and lost pinching strength for a couple of days. Worse, I contacted support and they are basically ignoring me. Huge disappointment for a very good customer - and member - who have spent thousands of dollars in merchandise.

Probably my least favourite Rapha item.
Fits a little small. Used the size of chart and for the most post they fit as described. However, the glove digs in between my index and middle finger causing discomfort during longer rides.
Also their product shot is a little misleading. It looks like there is full coverage on the back of the hand.
I would wait for these to be on sale. They do not qualify for free shipping on their own which is disappointing considering the size of the packet.

Comfortable, quality, mitts
I have possibly the worlds largest collection of mitts. Not because I want to get into the Guinness Book of Records, but because it is so hard to find ones that are really nice. They are either too tight at the base of the thumb, too flimsy, have padding that somehow makes them uncomfortable, etc, etc. Now, I have to state upfront that I have only worn these a few times, I haven't worn them in the rain and I haven't washed them, but so far they are doing really well. I'm not sure what I will now do with my collection. I might donate it to one of those weird cycling museums in France.

Not worth it....
I wanted a really good quality pair of riding gloves to replace my budget pair that were worn out. I chose these mitts based on the two points. Firstly, the gloves had leather palms. Secondly, the gloves are from a good brand, therefore you can’t go wrong...
The reality, I’m a little disappointed that the gloves are made in the Philippines. I fully appreciate a lot of products are made in the south-east Asia. But for a premium brand? I would’ve thought something a bit closer to home considering the cost of gloves.
The general quality of the gloves are okay. The top of the gloves feel like they would tear easy if caught. The leather palms are a soft leather and again ok.
As with any leather product, the more you wear it the better they will fit and become more comfortable. The leather dye leeches onto your hand when cycling. Something I hadn’t considered with owning a pair of leather gloves.
I’m not keen on the velcro strap and feel this will not last long.
Personally I feel my budget pair of gloves where better and in hindsight, I should of saved the money and accepted to replace the gloves every couple of years. But you live and learn.

Do not buy - awful quality!
Don’t buy these. Craftsmanship is really poor. Stitching in several places came apart after two rides. Should have listed to other reviews.
Have asked for a refund but radio silence so far from Rapha. Not sure why they’ve got it so wrong on this one compared to their usual standards.

The ultimate cycling glove
Supremely comfortable. A perfect fit and expertly made. The only draw back is that the supple leather will wear out over time and can't be washed. Still worth every penny and since nothing lasts forever perhaps buy two. For a more durable & washable glove use the Explore Glove

Best mitts in my warderobe
Very nice product, but outer surface is made from a bit thin material. Also, quite big whole on outer side that can cause you bit unesthetic sunburn. Once I had Rapha leather mitts from SKY collection and quality was much better there. But still best mitts in my cycling wardrobe.

Fit and Finish of Mitts
Ordered a large pair of mitts which are a perfect fit. Exceptional quality, leather is the softest ever experienced and placed appropriately for absorbing vibration. Pricey but worth the price. If you’re willing to pay the price you won’t be dissatisfied.

Good quality, but pinches.
The quality on these is nice, but they pinch the webbing between my thumb and index finger. Ended up sizing up in these, but they still pinch on longer rides. I probably wouldn't buy them again, but if they fit you well, they are nice gloves.

Excellent performance
Bought these after trying many different makes, outstanding performance and so comfortable. Tried them on both an hour ride and four hour ride, performance on both meant I won’t buy any other.

Supremely comfortable fingerless mitts
Butter soft, no irritating seams, great padding, typical Rapha chicness, and amazing bike feel. I do wonder about the long-term durability of these mitts, as they seem to be a bit delicate.

Nice but difficult to wash without drying leather
Stylish and comfortable for all-day wear. Leather palm eels very natural and grippy on the bars, but doesn't hold up well to washing. Palms were dried out and cracking after first wash.

Plush Mitts
Measured as per the sizing guide and mitts fit perfectly.
They have a soft leather grip and are very comfortable to wear.
Logo has stayed on after a number of washes just fine.

Good quality comfy gloves.
Really good quality and a good fit too. I’ve stopped shopping around now and just pay the Rapha price for quality leather gloves. You won’t regret it.

Great glove
The size is as stated. Fit is good. High quality soft leather palm. Love them. I've been hand washing in a sink and air dry. No issues.

Padded yet lightweight
Good colour, fit well, little extra padding is nice to have yet overall light enough for the summer.

pricey high performing mitt
Finally upgraded to the Classic Mitts after my old Pearl Izumi "pro" road gloves split up the seams. These mitts seemed pricey at the time but after using them a few times I am happy with the quality and comfort. The leather palms are sexy as hell and provide the perfect superior support even compared to the thick cushioned palms of inferior brands. I normally wear a size 6 glove and the xs fit well.

Great glove but check your size
Superbly well made gloves, which they should be for the price. Following the site guide I’m a M but ordered L and they fit perfect. Any smaller and I’d be doing OJ impressions. Wore them a lot and very little wear. The clasp is plastic, with leather on it, which is a bit cheap but works well. Could have done with a snot area too but hey, roadies don’t snot, right?

Too many requests to review the product
I do like these mitts, they're really good. But i do wish you'd stop hassling me to review them. I get a bit tired of being pestered to review every product i buy but this is the third email so far and it has to stop

Fantastic, back to basics done exceedingly well
The gloves ooze quality and are a perfect fit. Only done one ride but very comfortable. After maybe going a bit downmarket over the past few years this seems a return to what made Rapha so good. Top notch made to last and very classy. More of this please!

Great
These are great. Mitty AF, seemingly classic (I'm not a great judge of classicity), everything advertised. More seriously they seem durable and sized accurately, and the green color is cool.

All the help none of the hindrance
Have only worn them in cooler weather so far (5-10 degrees or so) but they are very comfortable without being bulky or constricting so I very happy with them
