Perfect Summer Riding Gloves
My wife wanted some decent length gloves, ideally matching her CR jacket. She slipped on the Rev'It Stikers in M and knew she had exactly the right gloves right off. They have a nice cuff, are lightweight, and offer a great balance of comfort and protection. Obviously not suited for extreme weather or racing, but for what they do, they're top flight!

Great feeling glove after a little wear
These gloves fit my hand perfectly. I wear a large and at first they were a little snug, but after a little warm wear and some sweat they loosened up to be a perfect fit. The Iphone compatibility are a plus too. Mostly, the fit and finger flexibility has been perfect and just what I want. I use them in warm weather and the air flow is great.

My New Favorite Warm Weather Glove
These run one size small. I ordered a size up and they fit, well, like a glove. The most comfortable gloves with "hard" knuckle protection I've tried. The knuckle is actually a little flexible which helps. The airflow is great. I can't wear them below 50 degrees for extended rides or my hands get too cold. I wish the palm, below the fingers, had a second layer of leather. There's stitching that looks like it's for another layer, but it's just cosmetic. There is only extra leather at the heel of your hand.

Nice warm weather glove.
Nice glove, happy with the fit and style.
They run a little small, but are well designed and comfortable. I did not buy them for the "Connect Finger Tip" but the feature did come in useful when looking for information on a cell phone.
The connect finger tip does work but the area with the connect material is small and only at the very tip if the index finger.

A BMX glove designed for Motorcyclists
After trying on most of the gloves in the Revzilla showroom I arrived at the Rev'it Striker (black) because it best matched the criteria I was looking for: enough airflow for warm weather riding, low profile visual styling, touchscreen capabilities, and adequate protection features.
Other gloves might have more protection, but do it at the expense of more aggressive styling. The Striker "strikes" a great balance with its rubber coated firm knuckle padding, which has some flexibility and comfortably conforms to hand movement very well. There is also a substantial thickness of soft foam padding in the outer palm area, which feels great if you happen to be in a riding position where leaning on your bars might cause pressure on your palms. It does all this without looking particularly like a flashy sport motorcycle glove, which I appreciate.
I wear a Large in the Rev'it Carver H2O gloves, but the Striker was a bit small requiring me to wear an XL. Typically I am in between a L and XL so this was not a big surprise for the fitting.
I have noticed a stitch is coming loose on one of the top of the finger's leather patches. The leather patch is sewn into the stretch mesh material underneath that encompasses most of the finger construction. Since the mesh material and leather stretch at different rates, it is not surprising that this area had some trouble. But since it does not affect the functionality of the glove, I don't mind fixing that myself if it becomes bad enough to be a cosmetic issue (it is only a minor issue now but will probably become worse over time). So far this issue has only been apparent in one finger so hopefully it is not a common problem on these gloves.

Awesome fit, great style
I do not have large hands; I ordered a Medium and they fit perfect. I returned the first pair because the one pinky was quite short in comparison to the other. The second pair I received has all finger lengths appropriate. The only thing that bothers me is that my right hand pointer finger is twisted about 45 degrees. It's really weird, but doesn't really affect riding, so I am keeping them. Touch sensitive area for phones actually works very well. The leather is awesome!

Sizing
Runs small. I had to go up one size. Otherwise I am well satisfied with them.

A good pair of gloves for hot weather.
These gloves run about a size small but since the Revzilla review mentioned this fact I went ahead and ordered a size large and they fit fine.
These gloves are comfortable and flow a lot of air. They have also come in handy a few times when I have needed to use my iphone while wearing them.
I am a fan of REV'IT. They make well designed and well manufactured riding gear in my opinion.
