Alright, so right off the bat I should mention that I ride a cruiser (HD Street Bob) so maybe these gloves just aren't tailored for that sort of bike.
They're comfortable to wear, very soft lining, but well knit so it won't pill or fray. The snot pad is pretty awesome too. The fit is a little tight, but I've got wide hands so it may just be that, because the finger lengths for fantastic for me on the size L. I also like the sort of half gauntlet thing going on since it fits nicely under my jacket cuffs. The fabric feels highly abrasion-resistant, but there's no actual "protection" outside of that, so any significant impact is going to be a problem.
The problem I ran into was with the pre-curved hand position. It feels very natural, and the thumb is stitched in such a way so that you have a VERY hard time pulling it back once it's underneath the handlebar/throttle. This shouldn't be all that big of an issue, but for me, I wasn't able to reach my fingers out to the levers (brake or clutch) without actually taking my hand off the handle, because the thumb was just too tight.
Now, I'm not sure if perhaps my handlebars are just too thick compared to the average street bike, but for me, it was a complete deal breaker. Which is too bad because these gloves look pretty B.A. and feel very nice on the hand.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Anything beyond a drizzle will get your hands wet in these gloves after a while. Good for light rain and moderate chill--otherwise I'd look for a more waterproof glove.

I road in a hard downpour on the highway for over an hour - nice and dry. If it's cold that's a different issue. If you ride in the low 40's or 30's your fingers are going to be very cold unless your bike has a fairing.

From what I can tell, these are 100% windproof, and they're listed as waterproof too, so I imagine the distance/temp/rain wouldn't be a problem For the record, it was about 42F in my area when I tested them, and my hands felt fine.

I ordered large based on hand measurement and it was too small. Whatever size is recommended for 3 1/2" be sure to go at least one size larger. the guy in the video says they run a size small. If your fingers are at all thick you may want to go two sizes larger. In any event Revzilla has a great return policy.
