Velcro Tabs immediately broke off, but not that big of a deal.
The title basically says it all. The velcro that holds the glove together at the wrist broke off immediately due to some faulty stitching on one glove. I was about to get a little irritated, until I put them on and realized, "hey, they actually aren't that important." Also, since I wear a full sleeve length jacket all the time with the jacket sleeve over my gloves, the sleeves basically hold the gloves in place firmly as it is. In conjunction with the innate fit, I don't foresee a real problem. Other than that, no complaints. These are replacing my Stealth Gloves from Shift Racing, which I shredded when I had a small mishap involving my rear wheel catching a patch of gravel along a hairpin turn. After seeing the damage to my hands and gloves, I decided to beef up protection along the knuckles and the area between the metacarpal and proximal bones.

Great Gloves!
I couldn't be happier with these gloves. I've worn them on days from 60 degrees to 95 degrees and they were comfortable every time. They would get a little warm on the hot days when stopped but that is to be expected. They have vents on the inside of fingers so if you're hands are warm you just have to spread your fingers a bit to cool off. I really like the looks of these and they feel like they would offer a lot of protection in a crash. They fit just like they were supposed to, a little tight the first ride, but loosened up to a perfect fit quickly. Great price for what you get.

Good glove for daily riding
This is a good quality glove, used them for just over a month now for daily use to and from work. Aside from me having possibly slightly smaller than average hands, the fit is quite good. These are a good mid climate glove, works in weather that's not too cold and not too hot. Some ok air flow at city and highway speeds. Anything over 85F would get a bit uncomfortable for daily use but out on a ride not too bad. Good protection, hopefully never find out how good.

Excellent Gloves
Fit - a nice snug fit. Great feeling of controls while on the bike. The knuckle protector is great but it will be annoying trying to reach into your pocket as the protector will get caught on the edges of your pocket. Not a big deal.
Finish - excellent, found nothing wrong with these gloves and are very comfortable.
Durability - holding up well so far after 1000 miles =)
Features - padding in all the right spots. Easy to use cuff. Feels nice as they go higher than a normal glove, but not as high as a gauntlet. Great for everyday use.
Would buy again!

Great Glove
Great glove, except for one minor thing - the velcro straps broke off immediately, but in the end, it wasn't such a big deal because the gloves are snug. Also, since I wear the gloves under my jacket sleeves, the tightness of the sleeves hold the gloves in place. Would highly recommend these. I bought them to replace some Shift Racing Stealth gloves that I shredded during a small mishap. These seem to offer much more protection at the knuckle as well as the joint between the medial and proximal phalanges.

Great gloves
The gloves fit fine and the quality is there. They aren't so bulky that you can't feel the throttle. I like them and would buy another pair.

Well Worth the Investment
I was in the market for 3-season gloves, not gauntlets. I'm generally a proponent of ATGATT regardless the weather, but for me the gauntlets restrict my movement and cause some numbness in my finger tips and tightness around my wrist which becomes uncomfortable after 30 minutes, or so, and there's something to be said for comfort AND safety -- I'm less distracted with less pain. Anyway, the Joe Rocket Reactor 2.0 gloves seemed as if they'd fit the bill. I am not disappointed. I've put several hundred miles on the bike while using these gloves and am very pleased so far.

They were everything that I expected as far as the quality of the materials, yet the fingers were a little long and I do not have short fingers.

I was looking for some new gloves, got these and love them. The only thing is, I could use a small, they seem to run big. Other than that, they are great!!!!!!

Great gloves!
3 months of use here. They brake in very nicely; they are comfy and well ventilated. Not good for cold riding but everything else is spot on. These gloves have made buying a second pair very difficult! I'll have to spend over 100 to top them. Very happy with them here.

Joe Rocket - Reactor 2.0 Gloves
Well-made and very comfortable gloves. The fit is a little tight the first few times worn, but break in is quick and they form well to the hand. No restriction at all while shifting/braking. Highly recommend these gloves.

basic, durable, long-lasting gloves
I have been riding with these gloves for over two years now and my motorcycle is my daily driver. When I first bought them they were stiff and a little uncomfortable due to the seams on the inside. However, over time they have formed to my hands like a second layer of skin. No broken stitches or anything yet! I am going for the high side gloves next time because they look like they have the same basic construction of the reactors.

I think that they are the best gloves for the money
I bought these gloves about a month ago and have been very pleased. I tried a pair from another leading brand and still think these are the best. They fit nice, keep my hands at the perfect temp, and I feel pretty good about them saving my skin if they had to. I'm sure that you could buy a better pair of gloves...but you would have to spend about twice as much money. They look bad ass too!

Reactor gloves
Gloves feel good and are comfortable. The only problem with these gloves is that inside leather comes apart in little pieces. It will look like you have junk under your fingernails and ash on your hands for a while. My suggestion is take a "sticky roller" and turn them inside out and get that stuff out. After that you have awesome gloves!

Joe rocket reactor gloves
I am really happy with these gloves they feel great fit well and give better grip. I like the fact that they have just a bit of pre curve, makes holding the hand grips on a bike a lot less tiring on a long haul. Well worth the investment.

Great product
I haven't used the gloves yet, but they look great and feel great. I can't wait for some warmer weather so I can start wearing them.
