Great mid-range summer glove
Gloves flow a lot of air and have been solid into the upper 90's. I'm fine with them into the lower 60's before I start thinking about breaking out the winter gloves. The advise on here to order a size up is good, my hands are a perfect size L in American brands, and the Rev'It XL fit me well. Like others I've noticed the seam inside the glove that runs between the thumb and index finger, but I don't find it bothersome while riding.
If I had to nitpick, I'd wish for a bigger patch of Velcro on the wrist closure so I wouldn't have so much of the closure tab hanging off the glove, but I have tiny wrists, so I imagine few will have the same issue.

Great value and very comfortable
I love these gloves! I am typically a medium and these gloves fit true to size. I think the protection features are great at this price point and nothing is bulky about this glove at all. It is very comfortable and you will barely notice the hard knuckle protection.
It has great air flow and I had no issues with it up to 100 degrees for over an hour. I've worn it about 100 times now and it's been very durable. Temp wise, I would say 60-100 degrees, so a late-spring to early-fall two season glove is it's sweet spot. The only small nit-pick I have is the white outline on the black glove stands out too much. It sorta reminds me of the "Power Glove" controller from Nintendo.

Very good warm weather glove
These are a good choice for keeping your hands protected in warm / hot weather. My hands stayed comfortable and dry this summer with temps up in the 90's. I've also worn them in cooler temperatures, but would recommend something warmer if the temperatures are below the 60's.They've held up well so far, would purchase again.

If you liked the R59, Comet is better
I'm a Rev'It fan and enjoyed the R59 gloves. I like the short gauntlet and knuckle protection. The Comet has a similar design and uses better materials than the R59.

Great Glove with a Bothersome Internal Seam.
The gloves look great, flow air well, fit well (I ordered a medium and the fit is perfect - I have medium-smallish hands). I like all the protection they appear to provide with the leather pads in impact areas, the hard knuckles, and finger pads. I'm also a fan of the cuff that is just long enough to fit inside my jacket arms.
There is one fault though; there is a seam on the inside that runs from between my thumb and pointer finger to the bottom of my palm. This seam was noticeably bothersome when I was riding. After a full day of riding, they left marks on my hand. I hope this seam becomes less pesky as the gloves break in.

More comfortable then not wearing gloves.
These gloves are amazing. Great style, look gorgeous, incredibly comfortable, appear to offer great protection, move a ton of air. Mine are brand new, and I'm about to buy a second pair since they've discontinued these.

If you have big hands but short fingers this is the glove for you
If you ever have to use your hands in an “oh no” moment on your bike, it’s much better to let your gloved hand hit the street as opposed to your skin. That’s what these gloves do. Excellent protection for knuckles without being bulky and heavy. Excellent feel on controls. Good airflow too. I have really big hands but short “stubby” fingers and these gloves fit perfectly.

My all-around gloves.
I feel reasonably protected, cool and comfortable doing back-to-back all-day rides with these gloves in any temperature over 65°F or so. I've worn them in temperatures over 100°F and always felt like I had plenty of airflow. The seams are on the inside, which is a little annoying at first, but they do break in and feel fine after a few hours. The palm does sometimes bunch a little on me during long days, but I haven't found a glove that doesn't do this. Overall, my favorite gloves I've owned.
