Great gloves
I've had these gloves for about a year and I've been very happy with them. I tried on a few different gloves when I was about to buy and these fit my hands the best and were the most comfortable. My roommate went through a similar process and came to the same conclusion after trying on about a half dozen other pairs.
I can't comment on protection as I haven't crashed with them, but the stitching seems to be holding together nicely after all this time. No durability complaints here.
My hands have yet to be too hot during the AZ summer or too cold during the winter.
One thing to mention is these do tend to run a bit small. I have fairly normal sized hands, but the Large size fits me perfectly.

style= good, protection= good, comfort= so-so
I purchased this glove and I must first admit that I should have sent the large back for an xl because at first the large did feel slightly snug. I thought that the large would stretch, but after a month of wear the glove hasn't stretched at all. The problem I had with the gloves is that the stitching in the fingers were cutting into the tips of my fingers which was cutting off circulation and causing my fingers to go numb when wearing them for any duration of time, I actually ended up cutting the tips of the fingers off so that I could wear the gloves until I can get a replacement glove. I went to a local dealership and they had the gloves there so I had an opportunity to try on a pair of xl and 2xl, both pairs were looser that the large but the stitching in both was still very uncomfortable and while the larger sizes may have not cut off the circulation I still would not have been able to wear them comfortably.To summarize:
Style:
The gloves look great, I like that the way the colors are simply accents which makes them able to match your bike and other gear easily.
Protection:
The gloves have all the protection where it is needed. I'm sure they would protect you adequately in case of a crash. At least as adequately as a short style glove should be expected too.
Value:
The quality of the materials the gloves are constructed of is fine. The gloves would probably last you forever under normal wear and tear circumstances. But there is just the issue of the stitching which I may say may be a result of them being a cheaper glove, 58.49 is of course not "cheap" but when compared to the quality of the premium brands such as Alpine Stars and Dianase, I would say when it comes to value with motorcycle gear you always get what you pay for.
Note: I would like to mention that when I was at the dealership they had the Alpine Stars smx-air carbon gloves and I took the time to try them on in a size xl and 2xl and the xl fit great and the stitching I have been mentioning was non-existent. And at 69.95 they are in my opinion a more comfortable, higher quality glove at only and extra $11.46 are worth considering as well.

excellent protection for the price
These gloves are comfortable once they are broke down and "molded" to your hand. The airflow through your hand is great for summertime riding.

Good but not great
I purchased these as my first MC gloves. I measured according to the size chart and ordered a large (I wear medium-large gloves typically). They were tight to the point of getting some blue spots on my hands during the MSF sessions. They got a little bit wet and loosened up; they're working well now except for the fact that some of the seams are a bit fat and dig into my hands.
The big issue with these (and the reason I took them to three stars from four) is that the Velcro is already starting to not stick to itself. I've had them less than three weeks and I would have expected a good six months or more before this happened. I'm quite concerned that this will impact their ability to stay on during a crash.
I love the look. And now that they're broken in, I am not having serious problems with them other than the Velcro. However, if I did it all over again I would have put down a bit more money and gotten gauntlet style gloves with better durability.

Awesome Gloves!
Really nice pair of gloves. They're sized on the small size. I usually wear a size medium for Firmgrips and Mechanix brands and the size large fit me perfectly. Great gloves for the money.

Love the look of these gloves, runs small, order up a size!
I really like how they look, I got the black/red. I have another joe rocket glove in a large that fits lose, and got these in a medium but are too small, as it is my thumb really rubs against the seam on the tip of the thumbs, that is the only finger I feel the seam on but it is a small size glove for me. It looks to have plenty of perforation all around the fingers, top palm side and inseam of fingers, but the thumb and palm has no perforation. Also the thickness of the palm is around 1/16 inch, but It is a harder leather than on the thumb and fingers. I am sending these back for a large and as I get to actually use them I will update my review with some real use. So far for the price these are great gloves
