Poor Design - Poor Purchase
I can't give this pair of gloves too much praise. First off, they are poorly designed as the seams in the fingers are extremely irritating. They are very thick, and I found that the seams would rub on the tips of my fingers and get under my nails. This is something I didn't notice when I first tried them on, but after a few miles on the road, it quickly became annoying.
Secondly, one of these same seams began to tear after only about 200 miles of usage. It is a slight tear, but will just continue to spread with wear.
Finally, the Velcro pulls at the fabric as you fasten one glove with the other gloved hands. This has caused premature fraying of the stretchy part of the glove and has resulted in a fuzzy glove...something that is more cosmetic than anything, but also a concern with consistent wear.
I cannot recommend this product.

Great Summer Gloves
If you are looking for a glove to wear in the deep summer heat, look no further. These gloves exude airflow. Every inch of these catches the breeze, keeping your hands cool and dry even in 100+ degree temperatures. I live in East Texas, where it is considered sub-tropical, and wish I had bought these earlier in the summer. Now that it is cooling down (mid-80's) I have to wear different gloves, as these are just too cool in the crisp mornings!

Olympia 715 Xtreme Gel Gloves
The gloves seemed a little tight for a size large, but as I've worn them more, they are becoming very comfortable. The gel pads help reduce vibration, the venting is great, and with the knuckle armor this glove offers much better protection than many other warm weather gloves. I would recommend them and would buy them again.
