Fairly versatile for a gauntlet style glove
The best thing about the Held Air N Dry Gloves is that you don't have to carry 2 different pairs around during warm/mild weather; one compartment allows air to flow when it's dry outside while the other is waterproof. If versatility is a priority, look no further.
That said, the gauntlet style has caused a few minor inconveniences when paired with my particular riding jacket (the Revit Ignition 2). Specifically, the glove is a bit too snug to fit over the sleeves of my jacket, and when I wear them under the sleeves, they overlap the cuff snaps of the removable waterproof liner, which makes them a little difficult to put on and take off. I've thought about removing the waterproof liner from the jacket and just carrying it with me, but that would basically defeat the purpose of the gloves. So I've decided to just get used to it, and it's actually getting easier with practice. In short, be prepared for potential compatibility issues with your jacket, especially if it's leather.
On a final note, I agree with the recommendation that you should buy a size down if you're in between sizes. The glove feels very snug at first, especially when using the waterproof compartment, but the material does stretch over time.

neat with dual function. Great quality
Only thing is the dry side did not keep me warm on California winter. It was about 40 degrees. My hands were frozen. I even turned on the heated grips. Probably good for spring and summer/fall but not winter for me. But I have to say i get cold easily.

awsome !! just as anthony had them rated
i'm a gs rider with the heated grips, anthony from revzilla said with heated grips this could be a four season glove. at 40 deg. the air chamber was to cold. but at 18 deg. the dry camber was still warm enough. The versatility of this glove is the best i've ever known. protection seems very good as well, but i haven't put them to that test yet. great job held and great job antony.....

Fits like a glove, in air flow mode, or waterproof mode.
Gloves have great hand protection, while allowing air flow, in one mode, & waterproof, in other mode. I Measured 9.5 inches around circumference of my hands and purchased 10 XL, as per chart, they fit perfectly, in both modes. Find it Hard to buckle Shoei Neotec, Modular helmet with Gloves on as with all well protecting gloves, so I secure my Helmet, before putting gloves on.

Not worth the money
You'd be better off buying two separate gloves.. One that is for dry weather, and one that is for rain. Today we had a good rain and the gloves were just okay. My hands were not soaked (like with leather gloves, but they were not dry. Certainly NOT waterproof. Maybe water resistant. The little whipper on the index finger is useless.
The protection is good, the size runs small. I wear a large in Joe Rockets, but these I had to send the large (sz 9) back, and get the XL (sz10).

Versatility
Living in Brazil I get a lot of rain showers and hot weather.
I needed a glove that kept my hand dry and in the same time gave me felling and confort. Now for the first time I think I can cary just one glove for rain and heat. Held really does the trick. With the hand out of the rain compartment the glove feels just like a summer glove, light and confortable. On rain is perfect and I love the wipper on left hand.

Great gloves
These are great. Dry weather / warm day = perforated sleeve. Wet weather / chilly day = water resistant sleeve. Rather tight when I bought them, but broke in after a few days.

Great airflow for hot weather
Bought these gloves just as it is now turning to spring/summer in Perth, Australia meaning weeks on end of over 100 F. So far I haven't been able to test the dry part of these gloves name but from an airflow perspective these are the best flowing gloves I have seen that don't compromise safety to do so. They are expensive but for my climate I don't need a dedicated warmth providing winter glove so these can be worn all year round.

While most gloves sold in the US are offered in alpha sizes (Small, Medium, Large, etc), Held gloves are sold in numeric glove sizes. The most accurate way to choose a glove size is to measure your hands using the directions and charts below. To get an idea of what Held Glove sizes correspond to in typical american gloves, a conversion guide is included below just to get you started in the right direction.
