I like having a colored glove for road riding because it makes any hand signals more apparent. I don't like spending a lot on gloves for cycling cuz they can take a beating & I don't treasure them. I got these work gloves at a gas station. the color is good. the leather palms offer excellent grip. however, since they are not cycling specific they don't have a cloth backside for sweat absorption. it's more of a nylon, tear resistant fabric. cloth would be an improvement
