The Monaco is the most full-featured glove in the Giro line. Designed for high-performance and high-mileage riders, the Monaco’s 3-piece palm and breathable construction is combined with Technogel padding for exceptional pressure distribution, ventilation, and fit. TECHNOGEL
Technogel is a proprietary polyurethane material originally designed for medical applications. Giro uses Technogel for the padding in our premium gloves because of its superior pressure distribution characteristics. When pressed between the glove and handlebar, Technogel molds itself to the hand by deforming along all three axes. Normal padding materials tend to deform only along one axis which causes pressure to accumulate in the direct contact zones.Giro gloves with Technogel provide superior pressure distribution – up to 300% better than standard gel for enhanced comfort and protection from numbness over long periods of time, excellent impact absorption – up to 30% better than standard gel, for protection from shocks and vibrations, and long-lasting performance – it does not harden or break down over time, so the glove stays supple and comfortable mile after mile.PITTARDS LEATHER
Select Giro gloves feature Pittards cabretta (hairsheep) leather chosen for its thin-but-tough structure. Pittards leathers undergo a special tanning process that helps the leather to absorb less water and resist sweat better than other leathers and synthetics. In addition to outstanding performance, no other material provides the fit and comfort of natural leather; it is a difference you will feel the moment you try on a pair of Giro gloves.SUPER FIT ENGINEERING
By carefully tailoring the palm, fingers and padding zones to match the shape and size of the hand, Super Fit Engineering reduces bunching and discomfort while enhancing grip, bar feel and the effectiveness of the padding.
