gloves after low-side @ 45mph; left hand hit the pavement for roughly 3-4 feet before hitting the grass.
I'm a new rider so take that into consideration with this review.
According to the sizing chart I'm right at the upper limit for the medium and decided to go with a medium thinking they'd break in but they didn't really ever feel broken in and were a too snug on the sides of my hands. I liked the looks of them except I didn't care much for the snap closure. Would have really preferred a velcro closure. They vented rather well and the padding on the top of the knuckles and fingers seemed adequate. The leather on the palms didn't seem very thick.
I had a low-side just a few days ago with these on. I was going about 45 mph around a corner when I hit some gravel and slid off the road into a ditch. My left hand went down on the pavement for a split second before I was off into the grass and the left palm was torn up fairly quickly. I dread to think about how my hand would look if I'd slid on the pavement for anymore than just a few feet. I'm not familiar with how well gloves should hold up to slides on asphalt and given this isn't a race glove I'm still grateful that it held up long enough to save my hand from any injury but I'm still somewhat concerned at how, in a matter of a few feet the palm was already pretty much used up.
Based on how quickly the palm disintegrated I'm a bit hesitant to recommend these to anyone but, at the same time, given my inexperience with other gear this may be pretty much the norm for typical street riding gear.

Fit true size, still breaking in. Summer glove for other region, but in north texas it's more like for winter. Good protection with good value.

Super cool gloves, looks stealthy, comfortable, a nice heavy feel to it even tho its only a short glove. You'll be impressed. Oh yea i never really liked those other GP looking gloves to use on road, its just too much of a overkill and you'll look like a Stoner wannabe.
Pros Fashionable, Rugged, Great Value, Comfortable
Yes, I recommend this product.
