Great Glove!
I've been a dirt rider all of my life, and just entered the dual-sport world. All I've known have been MX gloves, which are comfortable, but don't provide adequate street protection to the "belly" of a hand. Being a guitarist, hand protection is paramount to me... and I feel very good about the level of protection this glove provides to the entire hand. My rides are typically seven or eight hours long... and after operating the clutch and front brake going through tons of traffic lights, my hands feel only a little more fatigued than they do with the very thin MX gloves. I've only worn them in warm weather so far, but I get the impression that they'll be good down to about 45 degrees (we'll soon see!). The open pocket at the top seems to have a dual purpose (just like my bike!) in that it allows the hand to close without the effort of having to bend all of that protective material... and also, it appears to be just perfect for a hand warmer. Again, we'll see. The cuff is perfectly compatible with my jacket-- The sleeve slips right over it and seals up just fine. The bottom line is that I have about 1,000 miles of use on these gloves, and they have been just great. I think I'll put 'em on and go for a ride right now!

The gloves fit...well, like a glove. They are exceptionally well-made and the red accent is distinctive and provides a nice accent. The only minor suggestion I would make is that I would like the gloves to be a bit longer to extend beyond my wrist. But, I'm thrilled to have them and would purchase them again without hesitation.
