Description
Pro Team Mitts are designed for riders and racers looking for cycling mitts that deliver uncompromising performance in warm and hot weather. The key to the new changes is the fit: a mesh panel inserted on the underside of the seams creates shape when your hands grip the bars but doesn’t feel restricted when you relax your hands. The seams have also been repositioned to avoid any pressure points, easing the strain on your hands. The mitts are lightweight, made of an antibacterial and breathable fabric with a single perforated layer of microsuede on the palm. This is to ensure that they grip well, don’t hold onto sweat, dry quickly and still offer some protection in the case of a crash. There is no gel insert, as Rapha has found through feedback from pro racers that this isn’t necessary for rides and races of no longer than a few hours, and it allows riders to feel more connected to the bike. Other performance features include a mesh on the thumb back for wiping your nose and two finger pull loops for taking the mitts off. Elite performance technology by Rapha, at the tip of your fingers.

Good but........
Mmmm....I've had these gloves a few weeks now and I do like them but.......I'm not sure if these gloves are GREAT...I do find that I'm getting not blisters but a sore on my hand from the palm to little finger....why ??
Now I can only presume because I work with my hands my hands are tougher than most, but even when riding using cheaper non rapha gloves I've never experienced this....maybe these do need some padding after all.
The other niggle I have is the size ...I'm a small and I find these a tiny bit too big....ive tried extra small and they are way too small...maybe I got a dodgy glove that slipped the net...who knows
In all would say...average glove....but premium price

Not bad...
For me, and considering the very high standard of Rapha products, these mitts are just ok. Warmth, look, general fit and ventilation are all very good, but for me it's the material that covers the palm of your hand. If I don't complete relieve pressure of hand on handlebar when moving, because it's very thin, the fabric under my hand rolls and creases. This then becomes uncomfortable and is a distraction from riding. In the interests of remaining very light, I think there's a compromise on build quality here.

Nice minimalist Mits
These mits are made of some of the nicest feeling material around. The backing is silky smooth and the palms are a very soft suede. The description says the objective with this product was to remove any hot spots and they seem to have accomplished this. However, I had to go from my usual medium to a small because they just seemed to fit a bit loose. This could be due to fear of creating hotspots. Other than that, these are great minimalist mits. They don't seem to grip the bar tape as well as the previous version due to the suede palms but the grip is still better than most other brands.

Super lightweight mits
I've owned many pairs of gloves from Rapha, all size M, with the last Pro Team ones becoming real favourites. These are lighter again (basically a matte leather palm with a lycra backing) and without the cuff. Everything is slimmed down. The sunglasses wipe is gone on the left thumb and so is the terry material on the right one.
Losing the cuff is a good idea for comfort, but the fit is not as snug as the previous version, and with the lycra backing the gloves now move around a bit. I've never had a problem with bunching under the palm but under hard riding it's not hard to make it happen with these.
I'd probably buy them again, but opt for a size down (they're super stretchy).

Fits like a glove!
I had the last Pro Team Mitts and and wore them for three years before losing one of them. I absolutely loved those gloves and went ahead and ordered the new Pro Team Mitts. I had pretty high expectations of which the new mitts surpassed in every category. The new mitts fit better, are more comfortable, appear to be just as durable as the last series and look great; even the nose wipe is well thought out from a size and comfort context. If you like riding without gloves or minimal padding, you will love riding with these gloves. Another great addition to my every day cycling wardrobe.

Evolution rather than revolution
Having owned 3 pairs of the previous version I'm pleased to say the new mitts iron out the 1 or 2 niggles I experienced in the previous model. Stitching on the inside of the thumb has been softened and repositioned..so tick. Material over time became rough, especially on the back of the thumbs...new version is made from much softer material so I don't expect the same issue
I'm a big fan of Rapha products especially the pro range. The mitts are perfectly servicable, reasonable value considering they do last so why not 5 stars? Well having used a hand full of times already I feel they're just ok...if you need a new pair then go for it but if you're only buying because they're the new version then wait until your old pair have had it

Thin, not great with sweat management
Padding is minimal and they start bunching up after some time riding, either from stretching or from being wet with sweat. I actually got a blister on my palm while wearing them.

Amazing!
I've been wearing these for a few weeks now and they are simply amazing! Use the size chart and it fits as described. I ride about 150 miles a week with a typical ride being around 2-2.5 hours at a good pace and these mitts are perfect. They wick sweat away and dry really fast and they disappear when you put them on. The fabric, materials, and construction are top notch. The best mitts hands down!

I own these mitts and love them. I ride in hot humid weather and wash them with regular detergent (by hand) after every ride. Lately, some 30 rides later they start to smell toward the end of the hot sweaty ride. Any suggestions on cleaning?
We recommend using a non-perfumed detergent as the residue that builds up over time will trap sweat and start to smell even if cleaned on a regular basis. Non-perfumed detergents do not leave the same residue

Is there a sizing guide for these gloves?
Hi, the gloves sizing is as per below:
XS S M L XL
7.5 8 9 9.6 10.2 (this is the knuckle sizing in inches)

Does the micro suede palm offer any form of protection against road rash in the event of a crash. i.e does it have the same properties as leather/suede which is a very good barrier against road rash
Hi, any protection on your hands will be better than no protection at all. These are not heavily padded on the palms of the hands so unlike other older models these will only take so much of an impact during a crash but they will most certainly take some of the possible damage to your hands.

Does this have a UV blocking factor or a UPF rating?
These garments do have UV protection from 15-30 UPF depending on the stretch of the fabric.
