These came with my used vintage Schwinn installed by the previous owner. I like to ride, steer, and brake (with turkey levers) sitting in an upright position and these give a good feel and grip to my hands. I personally like them.

Bike-riding is not for those that dislike, hate, or scared of sweat. Give them a good wash with a warm soapy water or steam clean and dry them, the sweat will go away.

P.S. I always ride my bikes with a pair of black washable cotton gloves on, winter or summer. I throw them in my washer with my clothes, regularly. It is a habit. They make me feel safe and give me confidence while bike-riding.
