Solid Gloves
The fit of these gloves is pretty spot on. I looked up the sizing charts and measured my hand around my knuckles. I was just under 9" so i went with the Large. They fit pretty snug, but i like it. I've been wearing them about 3 weeks now and they've started to break in and slide on and off easier. I really like the color schemes. and the sliders on the knuckles and digits are nice. Decent Air flow. Haven't had too many hot days here in Chicago just yet (80's or so) but i dont anticipate any problems.
Could have added a few more features. Palm protection is a little on the thin side. But overall, gloves for the price point.

Nice gloves, but the thumb movement is slightly restricted
I really love my new REV'IT Comet gloves. The styling and manufacturing is superb. The fit was true to size. I usually where and XL and the XLs received fit well. The one disappointment is the restricted movement of the thumb compartment. With a complete grip on the clutch lever it is hard to operate the turn signal on my 848 EVO. Overall great glove that breaks in very well.

Solid everyday glove
This is a solid glove. I like the style, and after it breaks in, it feels great on my hands. My only complaints are an odd sharp seam on the left outside ridge of my hand, and a soft seam on my right inside thumb.

Great gloves, but...
These gloves are sharp, well made, buttery soft, but have a few issues:
The right thumb is shorter/the thumb crotch is tighter/too tight, so once you grip the bars it causes two issues, your thumb gets mashed, and it pulls the hard knuckle protection into the wrong place. So, my knuckles sat out of the pockets and left bruises on both hands, not just the one with the extra short thumb, but both thumbs were shorter than should be. The rest of the fingers were fine and they fit fine through the middle of the hand.
If they work for your hands, they might be great, but I'm not sure if I'd get the next size up or a different glove...

Perfect summer glove
I just bought the gloves and made a 3 days (1600 miles total) trip to Arkansas. On the first day the gloves settled nicely on the hands ( first thought was that fingers are too short) and for the rest of the trip in +80F they were just perfect. I think they may hold pretty good over the time.

Great style, excellent on-paper protection
I ordered these last week after searching for new gloves that offered slightly less-than-race protection. I wanted something short and summer-y that had excellent protection and wouldn't break the bank. The only protective feature I wanted to avoid was a hard palm slider. I have range of motion issues and the hard slider catches on my throttle a bit too much. Since these have temperfoam instead of a hard puck, I realize I'm sacrificing protection for comfort, but hopefully I won't have to test the protective features anyway.
My larger hand measured approximately 8.5", so I went with a large. Glad I didn't even consider the medium because those would be way too tight. As is, the large is snug now, but should break in nicely over the next couple weeks. Took a chance on the white/black/red. The pics online make the red look a little bit sickly/orange. It's really a true red and looks sharp!

My hands are happy!
These gloves are great! There really is nothing I can say bad about them except one thing. They do run small! I'm almost always a large in most gloves, but in these I'm an XL. And I have probably normal sized hands, since I'm not a big guy. For reference, my hands measure 8.5" at the palm, which would translate to a large in the size chart. However, unless you like TIGHT gloves, get a size up. I know leather breaks in, but my right thumb in the size large actually started to hurt because it was so tight. Also, for whatever reason, the right hand in both the large, and xlarge I ordered is a touch smaller than the left. It's not a big deal, even nice since your left hand does more moving around with the clutch and stuff, but just something to be aware of. Other than that, I love these! They look awesome, feel awesome, the cuffs fit very well under the cuffs of my Dianese Super Speed textile jacket and don't pop out while riding. I have yet to see what air flow is like in warm temps, but protection is most important to me, so I'm happy either way.

Great lever feel...
Obviously, these aren't going to save you the same way a set of gauntlets will, but these seem pretty sturdy. Good knuckle protection, GREAT airflow. They done seem to suffer from the "pinky is too long" issue that some gloves seem to have. Good palm padding, which helps a lot with vibrations on longer rides. Just did 100+ miles on them yesterday, actually. Good stuff.
