They are quirky and the exposed cable is not the most convenient thing when combined with a handlebar bag, but yeah - I loved em.
The hood shape fit my hand well and my hands are large enough that I could shift from the hoods or in the drops. They are definitely quirky.
I have Gevenalle GX's on my Cross Check. I LOVE the shape of the hoods--really excellent grip, very confidence inspiring in the rough. With smaller hands I found it a little tricky at times shifting--I really did have to move my hand, but not that bad. Was 1x, but that bike is ss now and it was a piece of cake to take apart the mechanism and remove the shifter bits so it's just a brake lever now. Great design.
