Klim
The fit is great when your not behind the wheel. The bulk of the glove is pretty evident when you are having to grab the break and clutch levers. I feel very constricted. I'm pretty sure that the reverse stitching makes up for a big chunk of the gloves design problem. When you move you fingers around while trying to grab the clutch lever it makes it catch and if your having to respond to something fast I see this as a problem, the comfort of the glove is great just which they could cut down on the bulk.

Klim does it again
When I bought my Badlands pants and jackets over a year ago, Klim did not have a protective glove to match the suit. I had bought the Adventure glove. Although the Adventure glove worked well, I needed something warmer for the early morning rides in the desert in the winter. I recently bought the Element short glove and have put on over 1000 miles in Death Valley this January. Standard Klim quality, fits true to size. I love the added protection and feel comfortable my hands will be protected in the event of a spill.

Great build quality
These gloves are no joke. The metal on the knuckles is AWESOME. I got them for my gf and she really likes them.
They perform great as well!

A great all around glove
Over 6 months ago I ordered both Element gloves, this one and the long gauntlet. I had intended to use the short one with my Badlands Pro Jacket and the long gauntlet when using my other jackets. I typically prefer a long gauntlet but the Badlands jacket design lends itself to a shorter gauntlet.
At first, I did not know if I was going to like this glove or not. It did not immediately feel comfortable on the bike and I found myself fidgeting quite a bit. For the first two months or so I was almost ready to give up on the glove, but then it started to break in a little more with each use.
As the seasons have changed (going into winter) and temperatures have dropped my typical attire for riding is the Badlands Pro, heated Gerbings, and these gloves. The heated grips on my Super Tenere put out a lot of heat and while using these gloves I am quite comfortable down to 30 degrees F.
For summer use these gloves will get warm. I don't like getting hot and I would not use these much above 80 degrees unless I was touring. Even then I typically carry at least two pairs of gloves.
These gloves have broken in nicely and now are very comfortable. If you are looking for a nice match to the Badlands jacket this is a good choice. If you want more versatility or prefer a longer gauntlet the long gauntlet version of this glove is a better choice. I like the material on the palm of the long gauntlet better and that is the one I would choose if I had to pick only one.

Don't waste your money!
These gloves are extremely difficult to put on when your hands are dry and almost impossible when wet. As a result they are uncomfortable and cumbersome to operate the bike with. You would be much better off with a thinner glove and a waterproof insert. Try before you buy!

These run wide in size
An XL in these fit good in length but way too much excessive material in the palm area. And the bulk of the fingers was way too much. I wanted and all day Adventure glove for cold weather. These were just too bulky for all day wear. I bought the Rev'It Phantom GTX which fit me 100% better.
