Airflow? We don't need no stinking airflow!
Gloves are probably the hardest items to review and recommend because it's the one piece of equipment that you'll either love or hate, and the next rider will completely disagree with you.
First, these are great gloves. The fit (for the most part) is great, the finish is even better. The amount of tech that they put in this glove is amazing, and I hope never to have to use them. I wear a size 9 in other gloves, but I got the size 10 based on the sizing chart. The glove fits like a charm except that the digits are a tad big longer than the Held for some reason. The only time I notice the length is when I'm trying to push a small button (which is not that often).
Next, air flow... Well, there isn't much there at all. This glove is windproof so if you're expecting air to flow freely around your hands forget it. I've ridden the deserts of SoCal with these at 90+, and it wasn't quite as bad as I expected. Yes, your hands will get warm (it is 90+ degrees after all), but my hands stayed mostly dry the entire time (thanks to the Gore-Tex material). I actually prefer these in the hot weather because of exactly that - my hands stay dry! On the flip side I've ridden with these down to 40 degrees in the mountain canyons and they worked great. [NOTE: Heated grips are perfect in cold weather with these gloves].
I have winter gloves, summer gloves, and now these. I'm going to be wearing a lot less of the former two.

Awesome Gloves!
These Gloves are like Motocross gloves on steroids! I had been looking for a short cuff gloves to wear under the sleeves of my Klim Badlands Pro jacket. Those sleeves are LONG and it's tough to get a long cuff glove under them. I tried so many different gloves and I felt these were just awesome! I usually wear a size 9 in Held gloves. So I went with the large Rukka Vauhti gloves and the fit was almost perfect--the thumbs a just a bit long. The material allows for great dexterity and makes the gloves very comfortable. There was almost no break in time. The padding behind the Super-fabric is much softer than my Held gloves. So far I have worn these in temps ranging from 40-67F and my hands felt fine. At 67F my hands were almost too hot! While they do breathe a little but the Gore-tex stops any air from flowing through them. Overall, I think these are great. Just don't expect them to replace your summer gloves. Think Spring-Fall-mild winter. Although, along with my Hippo Hands I'll be wearing these all winter!

Sizing Instructions
We highly recommend using a cloth tape measure to take the following measurements:
-
Chest: Measure from under/top of armpit across chest to under/top of other armpit, then across back to first armpit
-
Waist: Measure at the hourglass of your torso, (circumference measured at your bellybutton).
-
Hips: Measure the widest part of your hips below the waist, or pelvic bone to pelvic bone.
-
Outseam: Measure from your waist, along the curve of your hip down to your heel.
-
Sleeve: Measure the length from the back of your neck, over your shoulder and elbow, to your wrist bone.
Rukka Men's Glove Sizing
To measure, place your right hand on a flat surface and measure the circumference at the widest point, usually just below the knuckles.
