Joe Rocket Highside Gloves
Great product for the money. Rode to work this morning, 42 degrees, hands were warm. Gloves fit a little tight at first but broke in nicely. Haven't had long enough to judge durability but quality is good. No complaints.

Joe Rocket - Highside Gloves
Had these gloves (size XL) for about a month. Fingers could be a tad longer but they seem to have stretched a bit. Cuffs are roomy and fit well over my Joe Rocket Alt Ego 2.0 jacket. One complaint is that the wrist straps need to be longer. They will not close around my wrists, needed to extend the Velcro on the strap by about an inch to make them work. Other than that they are great.

Thought they were so so at first, but grew to love them
When I first got these, I thought that they were a little too bulky. But after a month of daily use, I absolutely love them. The best feature is the external stitching. There is no stitching on the inside of the glove, so you don't get any irritation from seams rubbing against your hands and fingers. This makes the glove very comfortable compared to almost any other glove out there.

One more thing
I forgot to mention in my previous review, that the other reviewers are right in saying that these gloves run a little small. I'm 5'5" and I have very small hands; but the mediums fit me perfectly. I would imagine that an average sized guy would need to get a size larger than they normally wear.

Very Small Gloves
These gloves are great on paper. But they run so small they are unusable for me. I will end up giving them away to a friend with much smaller hands. The smallness is compounded by the various pads in the design. Order at least one size larger than you'd regularly order. The rest of the design and materials are fine.

Comfortable and good finish...but a few fingers a bit short
That's about it. Hoping that they stretch out a bit. Good overall.

Great Gloves
Highside gloves feel very secure and safe. True to size and a little warm on hot days.

Nice, but a bit snug
I like these gloves, but the wrists are terribly small. I'm not a particularly large-framed person, and while the hands are well-sized, I'm having great difficulty snugging up the wrist-cinch without cutting off circulation to my hands. Overall, though, nice gloves.

good gloves
Had to exchange for a larger size due to having longer fingers. They feel nice and comfortable and do well in colder temperatures.

Love the Glove
Just got these and have worn them twice so far. Temps ranging from 36F in the AM commute to 70F in the PM commute- very comfortable so far. I bought some insulated liners, but I don't know that I'll need them unless it's in the 20s. The picture on-line does not do justice to just how awesome these gloves look in real-life! The wrist cuff is also larger than it appears in the picture and easily fits over the sleeve of my jacket. Love the double-velcro fasteners on the wrist and cuff, padding on the palm feels soft without losing sensitivity. For the price, you'll not find a better glove!

WOW, such a great glove !!
I bought these gloves over 2.5 years ago. The fit is incredible, like a second skin. There are not as many bells and whistles as other gloves, but I cannot stress the comfort and usability of these gloves, especially for under $50. A++++

Good For One Summer
I purchased a pair which I wore almost daily for about 6 months. By the end of this time they had been hand washed twice (smell why!). The palm pads started to abrade away and holes formed in the fingers. In short...expect 5-6 months out for these gloves. The fit and overall construction of these gloves are excellent, however not recommended for riding below 34 degrees. These are a great value for under $50. I'm considering two new pairs for this season!

Not great in the cold
I bought these for cold weather riding, but they're not warm at all below 60 degrees due to the venting between the fingers.

Got these gloves about a month ago and love them. The fit is snug but they break in very quickly. At first I thought the size was small but after wearing them for a few rides I don’t think the fit could be better. Get your normal size. A few of the reviews say they fit small but my suggestion would be to order your normal size and I think you will see the fit is superb. Great gloves.

Joe Rocket Highside Glove Review
I bought these gloves because they were full leather, styled to match my jacket, bike and helmet and they were only $50. I bought thermal liners to wear when the weather got chilly and boy did I need the liners. The perforation between the fingers really helps ventilate your hands to reduce the sweat but also lets in a lot of cold air. I keep my fingers close together to keep the cold out and it works. So far I have ridden in 40 degree weather at 75 - 80 mph without freezing my fingertips off. They did come with some workmanship imperfections and I am starting to see some wear on the fingers. I just wait and see how long they last; it's been almost two months of everyday use.

Joe Rocket- Highside GLoves
Very nice quality for the price. They fit great and stretch well while gripping as to not irritate on long rides. They needed no break in like some other gloves I have purchased in the past. Highly recommend!

Great Gloves
I have owned 5 different pairs of gloves over the years ranging from Alpinestars $150 to Fieldsheer $35. These are the best I have owned. They fit very nice and comfortable. They have 2 adjustment straps one at the end and one at the wrist so they feel very secure. I would caution you to order 1 size larger than you normally would (I wear large, I needed X-large) they are sized small. Compared to my $150 gloves I like these better hands down (no pun intended).

Joe Rocket Highside Gloves
I recently received my highside gloves in the green, size large. They fit my larger than normal hands very well. The double-velcro wrist is easy to take on and off even when the gloves are on. Very cool looking also. Can't argue with the great price either.

Excellent gloves. I like the double velcro closures and the fit and finish are great.

Great gloves
Great fit. Great control feel. Great price. No complaints at all. Not too stiff or bulky. I got these after deciding that my Alpinestars GP Pro gloves ($179) were too stiff for what I wanted to ride in.

A very nice set of gloves! Double Velcro wrist cuffs, and nice double leather on palms. Gloves are very flexible and sharp looking. I ordered my normal size and they fit perfect! Good job Joe Rocket!
