tight fitting & slippery synthics
I really like these gloves, but had to return the 1st pair because the sizes run small. Got the next size up just before a 2 day ride, but couldn't use them because they "must" be broken in to be comfortable and the synthetic palms are slippery on my old grips.

Olympia760 AirForceGelGloves
The only big objection I have about my Olympia760 Airforce Gel Gloves is I should have order a 2x instead of 1x because the 1x was a little tight. But the gloves and the handlebar grips helped my hands out "A"lot.I put about 2000 miles on my bike that week Aug 8-15-09 when I went to Houston Texas.

need to be broken in
I had to return the Larges and get XL's. Their still a little snug and need a few short ride for them to be broken in. Also, the synthetic palms are slippery if you have hard grips.

Good to go.
Arrived quickly and packaged well. Air flow is great and easy on, easy off. I liked enough to purchase second set for a friend.

Comfortable gloves
These gloves are good for what you are paying. There is an adequate amount of padding on the palms to ease vibration, and the material is soft and comfortable on the hands. There is modicum of protection on the knuckles, though I haven't been forced to test that yet. In hot weather, they have adequate cooling. I have not had a chance to use them in cold weather yet, but their short wrist length might be a downside.

good summer gloves
Use the Olympia size chart on these--usually I order an M for my husband, but the measurements on the size chart indicated an L, which turned out to be the right size. A good summer glove, which seems well made, and which he says is comfortable. All in all, a good buy at Motorcycle Superstore's price!

Olympia Air Gloves
These gloves are fantastic. They allow plenty of air in warm weather, but still give you some protection.

Great warm weather gloves!
I bought these gloves for the gel palms. I thought that was a great idea. I don't really feel the gel. But they let through a lot of air! They are great warm weather gloves. Here in Tucson that says a great deal.

Godd gloves for cooler fall weather
These gloves fit my hands pretty well, but I wish they go up on the wrist another inch or so. Your mileage may vary. The gloves allow plenty of ventilation which is very nice. Also I have no problems to feel any control of my scooter while wearing them. The Velcro closure works well. The only issue I noticed: when storing them together, the Velcro hooks of one glove could grab the section of the other's glove made of terry cloth and pull the threads. They should be stored back to back to avoid this. Overall I am satisfied with quality and value of these gloves. I would recommend them to a rider who wants a lightweight, comfortable glove at a reasonable price.

760 Air Force Gel Gloves
These gloves are a very good value for the money. The gloves are comfortable and fit well. They are excellent to wear for trips in warm weather. The only downside (and just the ways it is because of the fabric) is that they are subject to piling from the Velcro strap that tends to bind on the fabric.

Good summer gloves
Temps are in the upper 90s to over 100 here in the central valley of California where I live and the Olympia - 760 Air Force Gel Gloves provide good air flow to keep your hands cool. Fit is great, after a short break in period where of a couple of short rides (they felt a little tight when I first put them on) they fit very comfortably. I have had these for about two months and have taken a ten day trip with them and ride to work almost every day and they are fraying a little bit but nothing to be alarmed about. Gloves seem to last me about two years and these look to do that. These do not look like they provide the protection of a full leather glove, but are a good trade off during the hot days of summer. The gel in the palms helps a little with the vibrations from the handlebars. Overall a good glove and worth the price. I would buy them again.

Olympia - 760 Air Force Gel Gloves
I love these gloves. I work 3p-11p and like to take the bike to work. These gloves stay cool in the afternoon heat but surprisingly keep your hands warm at night. It allows ventilation without letting the rush of air hit your hand directly allowing this glove to work on warm and cool rides. Got to love the price also. For the quality you would think they would cost at least double what the motorcycle superstore is selling them for.

The gloves are great. I hope that they last as long as the leather pair I bought nine years ago!

well made but sized small
The XL are sized small, I initially ordered a large and they were too small. After I sent them back I got a XL which as well was too small. Only order these if you have small hands.

Great fitting glove
These gloves look and fit great. However, where the terry-cloth type material met the leather on the palm I experienced some fraying. But after performing a small sewing job, the gloves appear to be as good as new. I doubt the long-term durability though. But not bad as a short term summer riding glove.

Riding gloves
Very comfortable even after all day of riding. wearing a little on inner side of index fingers. Over all I am happy with gloves.
Dennis A. Simmons

Overall good pair of gloves.
Gloves are constructed of quality materials, and fit well. On 80 plus degree days, hands can be rather warm in them. Be careful of the velcro at the top of the gloves adhering to the outside fingers of the gloves, as they will cause the gloves to fray. For the inexpensive price, I would recommend these gloves.

It's the Gel
Olympia always gives good fit and finish for the money. I ride daily in 110 degree temps and these gloves breathe well. The only drawback is the gel cushioning, which feels thin. I ride a crotch rocket and my hands get to feeling pretty sore and numb after about 30 minutes. But, it might be a grip problem, not the gloves.

Great for Short Fingers... Order a size larger if your fingers are Med/Long
I got these for summer riding and for their gel inserts based on the reviews here and elsewhere and my hand was smack-dab in the middle of a "Large" size. Both gloves fit well across the palm and wrist. The fingers, though, are made for those with shorter fingers than I apparently possess. The left glove fit snug with my fingers tight to the ends; the right glove's fingers were just too short. I rode with these for a few weeks, and then finally gave them to my son to ride with as his hands are smaller. They are well made (mine did NOT unravel or fray) and have a good bit of airflow through the mesh. The gel is comfortable--reduced hand fatigue for me, except for the 'shortness' in my right fingers.

Olympia Air Force Gel Gloves
They fit my hands snug. Good fit. But, the part of the palm and fingers that make contact with the handlebar grips slip. I find that my forearms ache after a 100 mile ride cause I have to grip things tighter than normal because of the slippage. They should have put a different material on the palm side of the gloves. Had I known this, I wouldn't have bought them.

Olympia - 760 Air Force Gel Gloves
I've owned Olympia gloves before and really like the gel insert. I like the air-mesh on the top of the glove, but it will not last nearly as long as leather would. Being in Florida, I ride all year and will use these 9 months out of the year. I expect to get two years out of them. For the price, that's not bad.

Pretty good!
Had these for the last 2 summer seasons, I ride everyday in 100+ temps and these are nice to have, good quality/price product.

Great fit, good air flow through glove. Thread started to unravel after only a few hours of use. Otherwise a great glove.

Air Force Gel Glove
I live in the desert southwest where it gets over 100 degrees half the year. These gloves are great, they breathe nice and are comfortable. The fit was perfect. Having a v-twin that vibrates the gel makes them great for long rides. Two thumbs up!

Olympia 760 Air Force Gel Gloves
Perfect fit, great air flow. Gel palm will spoil you. After using these, my other gloves just don't feel right on the grips. Watch velcro attaching to the terry cloth on the thumbs, it will fray it pretty good. Otherwise, a very nice pair of gloves.

Summer Glove
As the name implies, designed for hot weather; great ventilation while providing full finger coverage. Can be washed, unlike leather gloves; uses synthetic materials. Gel feature is great. No more numb fingers after 100mi rides.
