Great Gloves for Money
These gloves are a great value . Fit is perfect and the sizing chart was accurate . My index finger on my right hand bottoms out though , but they may stretch .The gel helps the buzz on my Kawasaki Concours alot . The carbon fiber on my knuckles is fraying out a little . The gloves were comfortable in 80 degree weather and and still warm enough enough on a 50 degree morning the other day .I'll probably get another pair when these wear out .

Decent Gloves
For the price these gloves are pretty decent. The carbon fiber might be more for decoration than protection as they don't seem to be held in very well, but they are there and hopefully they'll do the job if ever needed. The rest of the glove itself feels pretty solid (ie, it will hold up to an impact). The gel does absorb quite a bit of the vibration and the wrist closure (velcro) keep the gloves on well. All in all, I think this is a great glove.

Size chart worked great, perfect fit. Put about 30 hours on them so far. Some visible wear/damage on the palm. They are comfortable and I will probably get another pair when I destroy these ones. Good deal.

Snug at first
...but after a few weeks these are fitting really nice. The gel in the palms is a really nice feature too, cuts down on hand and wrist fatigue on long rides. I'd buy these gloves again, no problem.

Like not wearing gloves
These gloves are at a great price point, given the rider is looking for a pair of short, well-ventilated, light duty gloves. The positives:
- Snug feel, like skin, but material offers amazing movement
- Leather palm and finger pads means excellent sensitivity
- Gel palm cuts vibration quite a bit
- Side-of-finger "mesh" ventilation lets in tons of air
- Velcro closure is snug, well-fitted to hand, and durable
- Crash knuckles are there... hope I don't need them
- Excellent warm weather gloves!
- Natural curve of glove means less hand stress on the throttle, clutch, and brake
Negatives:
- Gloves have short fingers, so it's hard to flip a signal or grab the brake/clutch. I have long fingers
- Ventilator mesh on finger sides frays when in contact with velcro
- With my long fingers, knuckles are lined up wrong and the glove doesn't bend in the right place
- Personally rated to 55 or 60 degrees.
Cheap enough! So buy two pair and get to riding!

excellent product
Workman ship is excellent, gloves perform as advertised. Good fit, my first choice in a riding glove.

OK but...
I generally need a medium large glove: large palms and short fingers. I bought large, because the fingers on the x-large were too long. The fingers on the large are too short and causing my hands to cramp. After 2 months they are wearing a lot in the fingers and the velcro is no longer holding very well. On the plus side the gel does seem to dampen the vibration. Still looking for a new pair.

This is the second pair of these gloves that I have had. I bought the 2nd pair because I liked the 1st pair so well. There is a thin layed of gel in the palm area and it makes for very comfortable riding. Great price also!

I recently bought two new pair of these gloves after experiencing summer-time use of a pair that I still have. I believe I've had them four years, or maybe it's three. Excellent comfort, have worn well, the right glove has a small tear in the leather near the right thumb / index finger crotch, but otherwise still in excellent, wearable shape. I teach the MSF BRC and ERC, and these gloves are excellent for the frequent on and off as I need to demonstrate exercises. Very comfortable for long rides in hot weather. I bought two pair for new use and for the occasional passenger.

I have used the gloves for years. They were as expected. Shipping was fast. Order placement was courteous and quick. Good Job..

I've been using these gloves for a long time. Just ordered my third pair. Lost a pair and the other pair finally wore out. Very comfortable gloves especially for those of us with long fingers (size XXL) Velcro does snag glove material like I said already, but I wouldn't buy anything else.

Most comfortable palm cushioning in any gloves I've tried, good ventilation, good color choices with visible light reflecting accents, only complaint is that they should cover higher on the wrist.

Great gloves
Perfect except for the length. A little longer would keep the wind out better. Over all the best gloves I have ever had for riding.

Been using these gloves for a number of years and are satisfied with quality, fit and sizing. (I wear size XXL owing to long fingers.) Velcro does snag glove material, but a small price to pay for the comfort offered.

Excellent buy. Wear very well and comfortable. DC from Arlington must work for competition. Try them for yourself!

Poor quality. Leather fabric that line the palms and fingers of the gloves rub off and little black particles of leather gets all over your pants and motorcycle. Invest in a more expensive pair of gloves. It'll last you longer.

Takes a little while to get used to the gel palm, but exremely supple, soft and comfortable. Decent protection. The most amazing thing about these gloves is that you can actually perform intricate operations with your hands while wearing them. Fastening your helmet, or feeling in your pocket for something. When they get old, I use them as arborist equipment. I can actually work with rope, tie knots, and use snap clips on a safety harness while wearing them. Medium size is a good fit for sho
