Passed the test
I've used these for 3 years now riding my quads and my motorcycles, even used them working around the farm from time to time. They have held up exceptionally well and I would easily buy another pair should these ever wear out, although they have not even begun to. I've had them in the mud, dust, blackberry bushes, pretty much everything I could throw at them they take. I've even brought them in the shower to wash them…ha. Lather them up with soap a couple times, rinse them out and wring them dry. I've done this numerous times and they show no wear still. Great product!

Olympia - 750 Ventor Gloves
I bought these gloves to replace the older version that I really liked. My older gloves (same version, the look has been updated) lasted me 5 years of riding in all types of weather before they started to get some holes in the thumb webbing. These new gloves look to be just as good, and once I get them broken in will be just as comfortable as the ones they replaced. I would highly recommend these gloves for hot weather riding.

Good Gloves
These are some pretty good gloves. I rode in 100+ degree heat and my hands were comfortable. The gel padding could be a bit thicker: after close to an hour ride my hands started to go numb from vibration. Things start to get a bit cold in the lower fifties, but a set of glove liners would probably take care of that.

Olympia - 750 Ventor Gloves Great gloves for hot and warm weather.
I bought these gloves for a summer glove as well as for extended touring type rides in warm/hot weather. Over Memorial Day weekend I took a 1K plus mile roundtrip road trip to PA. During the trip the gloves worked just as advertised. They were nice and comfy and they kept my hands cool during the whole trip. Great gloves! I love em! My only gripe is that there isn't near enough padding in the palm for me. I'll be changing my grips anyway, so that won't be an issue in the future. YMMV.

Good for cheap gloves
I bought these gloves in December when they were on sale for $20. For that price they are well worth it. I have worn them in 50 degree weather all the way to 80+ and my hands have always been the right temp. Construction is solid and they are comfortable on the grips as well. Err on the side of ordering a size up, the x-large fit me exactly, and I usually wear a large in gloves. Only down side is that these gloves don't have any hard protection.

Excellent gloves
These Olympia gloves are excellent for warm weather riding. Plenty of air flow and they are very comfortable.

excellent gloves
These gloves fit well and are very comfortable. You can really feel the airflow when riding. They're great for warm weather. We've had some cool mornings lately (low 60's), the airflow is not so comfortable at these temps. I would recommend a different glove for cold weather riding, or you could wear them over an under glove. I bought a pair of these for $9, but haven't tried them yet.

Olympia Ventor Gloves
These seem to be well made, nice padding on palms, good cooling in very hot sw desert weather. Problem getting a reliable fit on line. I am 6' with average size hands. I first bought L, could barely squeeze them on(gloves too narrow). I mean barely. Gave them away without using them. Bought second set xxl, thinking L was more like a M, and, of course, the xxl are a bit too large. I use the xxls from time to time, and think they are a nice product for hot weather, aside from fit. Thinking about buying xl... Can't comment yet on durability. If they fit, I think they are a great value and good hot weather glove.
