Great gloves, great fit, some durability issues
This is my first pair of gauntlets, and I'm glad I opted to go for the Held brand over others. The kangaroo on the palm makes it very easy to feel the throttle and cables. The tops of the glove and their armor seem to be protective and well-placed for my hands. They're also comfortable at lower temperatures - even at 50 degrees or so, I didn't mind the cold, but I do have hand guards.
Only gripe so far is the gloves come with little straps with snaps on them at the base of the glove. I was using one to pull my glove on and it ripped off instantly. Maybe it's designed to be a tearaway? Either way, was surprising given the overall quality of the glove.

Amazing quality
Great features and amazing quality in a lightweight glove. Fits true to sizing charts, which is snug but well fitted and not uncomfortable. If you do not like a tight fitting glove, definitely order the next half size up. Thanks for the blindingly fast shipping!

Outstanding glove for the money
Excellent glove for the money. Feels like the quality of a glove twice its price.

Perfect Summer/Spring/Fall Glove
I bought this glove in May...my palm measured to be a size 9 (Large) in Held, but with my long fingers, I wear a XXL in Rev'It gloves.
This glove at size 9 fits perfect. Air flow is incredible...holes on the sides of the fingers and in 100+ degree weather with humidity, my hands felt cool. Very good tactical feel and grip with the gloves and the protection is second to none - very comfortable and soft feel on the palms. I feel if I go down, the glove will offer execellent protection and keep my hands/wrist safe. No sign of normal wear/tear yet after using it all summer as a commuter glove and weekend riding.
I wore it in the rain a few times...didn't soak the hands or glove. The glove is good until about 60 degrees, which the fingers start getting chilly, especially above 45 mph.
My buddy recommended HELD to me, and I also recently bought the HELD Freezer. Sizing is the same and an excellent product.

Great gloves but some issues + improvements
Summary: I've been using this for 3 weeks/1500 miles. This is my 2nd pair of leather gloves. I had AGV before this and the feel of this glove is much better especially in the palm where it uses kangaroo. This is my favourite part of this glove. the fingers are a few mm's too long when holding the handle bars but I understand it's not going to fit perfect for everyone.
Cons: doesn't fit me perfectly, but it's close enough. The back valcro also seperated from the smaller strap. I am in the process of exchanging it for a new one. This is a bit disapointing after only 3 weeks of use. If it happens again, I will try to exchange this + cash for a higher end Held gloves. Also, I'm surprised that they don't stitch the pinky finger to the ring finger

Great gauntlet glove for the money!
Fit is good. A little on the tight side. I wear a large normally. I'm a large in this. But it seems true to size. Protection it's better than gloves at this price. Quality, the glove feels like the stitching will stay together a while.

Great for street and summer touring
I bought these to supplement the mesh/leather gloves that serve me well at slower speeds in stop-and-go traffic around town. For longer faster rides I found those were too cool and provided insufficient protection.
Measuring my hand came up with a size 9 - 9.5. In this glove, only full sizes are available so I went with the 9s, knowing they might be a bit snug, at least initially. That has turned out to be the case. As they've broken in a bit this is less of an issue. They can be a bit snug getting on especially if I've been sweating a bit, but fit great once they're on with excellent comfort.
Protection seems great. Ventilation seems great for a mostly all-leather glove. A bit hot when I ride them around town, but great once I start moving. Held sells them as an entry-level track glove, but I find they're great as a higher-end, good protection sport-touring glove.
Mine is the white color which does discolor a bit in use. To be expected with anything white, but much prefer the light color for keeping my hands from baking in the sun.

Excellent quality and fit
This is my second pair if held gloves. The Held quality is best in class and these gloves are great street gloves. The fit was tight before I broke them in. But after a few rides they're very comfortable.
