Not improved from the 1st version
The fit of these gloves is really disappointing because of the shortness of the thumb; so uncomfortable. The inside of the seams hurt but gets a little better after 3-4 weeks of break-in. To add more to the disappointment, I've read reviews with the same criticisms on the first version of these gloves but which Fieldsheer didn't improve on. The Joe Rocket Velocity gloves (around $15 bucks cheaper) I bought together with these are way more comfortable and workmanship on the stitching of the fingers is better/cleaner. The leather and mesh are of very good quality. The workmanship on the stitching of the fingers of the Sonic Air II, however, is not good at all. It seems like a rush job and some fingers seams are a little crooked. Overall, the fingers are baggy. These gloves look good but don't feel good.

Pretty good gloves
A bit of a tight fit. Not sure if I should have ordered a size larger or just need to get some stretch out of them after break-in. Well made, good construction. Breathe well in warm weather.

Fieldsheer - Sonic Air II Gloves
I ordered these for summertime only. They seem to be a good overall buy, and the quality is what I have come to expect from Fieldsheer. They do seem to run small though, so order a size larger. I think mine will stretch out OK but I wish I would have ordered XL for a good fit out of the box. They seem like they will protect well and the mesh is great for ventilation. I would buy them again.

Like Mesh and Gauntlet Design; Finger's Bit Floppy, Seams Big
Like other raters, I was looking for a summer mesh gauntlet, and this is one. And I like Fieldsheer quality (I have some of their jackets and pants). However, I must have grown acustomed to the mesh gloves I wear on my dual-use bike, which have stretch pannels on the fingers ensuring a snug finger fit. That's important for lever handling. These, however, do not have stretch pannels on the fingers and the leather is a bit baggy; also, the interior seams on the fingers are big. I'll continue to wear them this season, see how they break in, but I'll have my look out for gauntlets with better finger fit.

fieldsheer sonic air II gloves
Nice looking and good features. They are certainly cooler than a solid leather glove for summer riding. They run small, I normally get a medium glove but I needed a large for these. No comment on durability yet.

Fieldsheer - Sonic Air II Gloves
Good gloves. I normally wear large gloves so that's what I ordered. They were a size too small.

Fieldsheer - Sonic Air II Gloves
I have been looking for a lightweight-mesh-quality-summer glove for a year now. I also wanted a glove that did not end at the wrist, but continued and covered the sleeve end of my jacket. Well, my search is over. The Sonic Air II by Fieldsheer is a pure joy to wear. The quality is awesome. I am thrilled with these gloves. Don't hesitate. You will not regret buying these outstanding gloves. They run true to size. If you wear a large, order a large.
