Good overall design
I am a musician and very nervous about the safety of my hands. I wanted a summer sport/touring glove that would let me relax, knowing that I had both impact and abrasion protection in the event of a get-off.
This glove does offer light weight and good ventilation for the price--and it looks like it should give decent protection in a spill. The styling is restrained—a plus for those of us who don’t want to look like some kind of child’s super-hero action figure. (The cuff has a bit too much flashy logo deco on it for my taste; but I painted it over.)
There is not much to complain about the glove’s design and construction. The wrist closure strikes me as a bit superfluous--just another moment of delay getting into one’s gear to go for a ride. But I suppose that is not a real fault.
I have slim hands but long fingers. If I want a loose fitting glove, I go for an XL; but most size L m/c gloves fit me well and snugly. This Scorpion does too—almost. I found the left thumb a bit too short. Unfortunately, this was only apparent when actually gripping the bars, so I didn’t notice it until it was too late to return them. This fit problem is exacerbated by a bunched up inner seam at the thumb tip which further reduces the available room and presents a spot of irritation.
They may stretch out over time. I do hope so, as I like them.
BTW, I compared this glove with the Fieldsheer Apex 2.0—a glove similar in design and price. While the Apex seemed like it might offer a bit more abrasion resistance on the palm, it was also a bit dorkier looking and not as well ventilated. So I chose to keep the Scorpion. I recommend you look at both, though, as they are quite close in features.
