The Zero CS Glove from Giro was built with the preferences of pro cyclists in mind, but there are many enthusiasts who also prefer a race-level glove that favors breathability, moisture wicking, and exceptional feel and bar control. Perhaps you noted zero references to padding, which make sense, as the Zero CS has no padding. Gloves such as these offer skin protection in the event of a crash, as well as adding grip and preventing sweat from creating a slippery situation.

Giro applies their anatomical Super Fit engineering to the Zero CS, with a 3-panel fitted design. The perforated Cool Skin palm is made from 100% sheepskin, with a microfiber heel patch for added durability. The lightweight, slip-on design employs moisture-wicking 4-way stretch woven backhand that keeps your hands cool and dry, with a consistent fit and feel no matter the hand position. Finger-tip, pull-off pockets allow you to easily and quickly remove your gloves without reversing them. The designers also added a pull-on tab at the palm heel as well. An elastic cuff holds the glove in place without restricting blood flow or irritating the skin.

The final result is a close fitting, ultra-comfortable, lightweight slip-on glove for cyclists who desire dry hands and maximum bar feel over all other features. Many cyclists have conditioned themselves to riding with padded gloves, but one can easily appreciate and learn to love the minimalist, yet highly functional Zero CS glove that allows the rider to fully connect with the bike in a way that padded gloves don't allow.
