I don't know if I buy into the sizing on these gloves running large. My hands measured 9-3/8 so after reading the reviews I ordered a 9 and looked like OJ Simpson trying to get them on. Meaning I couldn't get them on at all. I sent those back and ordered a 10, it fit tight through the hand and my fingers were at the ends of the glove and that won't work. Sent those back and ordered 11's and they finally fit both across the hand and finger length.

Have had vented gloves in the past. Lots of holes that do not really do much. With the Rodney gloves, hands on the grips, fingers together and you really do not feel anything. Spread your fingers just a little and you can feel the air above and below your palms. These are great.

The fit and finish on this product from Held is superb.
The gloves feel sturdy, no missed stitching or other manufacturing blemish.
Remediated negative – the helmet wipe did not break in after an accumulated 10 hours of riding and hurt my index finger; flipped the glove inside out and trimmed it with cuticle scissors and it fits… like a glove.

I own about ten pairs of gloves but these became my glove of choice after one ride. The kangaroo palms are soft and give you great feel for the controls. I was a little concerned about goat and kangaroo for durability but the real glove is much sturdier than they appear in the video. Not big and bulky just a feeling that the quality will last a long, long time. I intend to wear them on long highway tours this summer and even though I have gloves that flow air better, the Rodney flows enough and has gotten the nod to be a starter. Last year I was going to buy this glove but the back order was way too long so I settled for another cheaper pair . I should have waited. They aren't cheap but the quality and workmanship are worth it.

I spent forever comparing pretty much every glove on Revzilla. This glove hits everything I needed. Great protection on the side of the hand and heel of the palm, good air flow, subdued yet classic styling so they don't scream "I'm a motorcycle glove!", great comfort and fit, and even some unique features. The index finger squeegee doesn't give me any discomfort - contrary to some of the reviews I've seen - and actually functions quite well. Price is still a touch high for my liking, but other than that they are PERFECT!

I have difficult hands to buy gloves for, since my palms are 8.5" which is generally a large, but my fingers are long. I ordered a large in these gloves, and they fit perfectly. The feel is superb, the build is high quality, and the cut is perfect. There's room in the fingertips and thumb to be a good fit when clenching a fits, yet the palm isn't baggy. I tried on over 20 pairs of gloves trying to find one I liked and after all that and a month of looking, I found these. Originally I'd bought the REV'IT Chevron gloves, which looked cooler, but pinched my throttle thumb. The thumb on the clutch hand ended up ripping so I sent them back and was refunded. Unfortunately they were by that time out of stock, so I had to look for other gloves. I tried the REV'IT Curb, the Dianese Ricochet, and the Scorpion Klaw. This glove feels better than all of them. I will say though, that you sacrifice a little protection. The knuckles seem well padded, but there's not much protection on the fingers. The super-fabric on the outside palm is a nice layer of protection too. Another great thing is the cuff closure. Its the best I've seen in a glove. Its big enough to go over your jacket if you want, but somehow cinches down small enough to slide under your sleeve as well. It's very well designed.

I have only one gripe, and that is that they could have some rubber or something on the palm to stick to the grips better. Its not a big deal for the clutch hand, but I have to hold the throttle tighter to keep it from rotating back. It's not terrible, but it could be better.

In conclusion, if you're an average rider with average riding needs, and you want a glove that feels amazing and flows lots of air for summer riding, look no further than this glove. If you ride track at all though, or push your bike harder, I'd move to something with more protection.

The Held Rodney gloves are light and soft with great tactile feel. The palms have a slightly tacky feel on the controls, a feeling I've really begun to appreciate, as it gives me a feeling of being very connected with my machine.

Air flow through the top of the glove isn't super, but is enough to keep me reasonably comfortable on all but the hottest days. And since the palms are perforated as well, when my hands get hot, I just have to lift my fingers a bit to get great flow through the whole glove and cool my entire hand instantly.

The much ballyhooed visor wiper doesn't seem to be any better or any more useful than just using the side of your gloved finger, so I'm not sure why that gets talked up so much. It certainly isn't obtrusive, though.

The short of it is that these were exactly the summer gloves I was looking for, and I love riding with them.

After my Tourmaster summer gloves wore out I was looking for more protection in a non-black glove - in the desert sun that is important. There are very few options available. I tried a pair of Alpinestars but they were uncomfortable, the knuckle protection was too tight and dug into my fingers. The DAINESE mesh/leather summer gloves were too hot, they had no airflow, the only perforations were in the palms. The Rodney is the highest quality, with the best airflow and most comfortable of all the gloves I have seen.

Fit is perfect. I'm in Florida, and need gloves with a bit of ventilation and these are excellent. Worth the money!

I bought these gloves to use for summer riding, and they perform very well in the 70-100deg. range. Airflow is excellent, and the gloves are very comfortable as long as you keep your fingernails trimmed. The only issue I had was the sizing. My palm measured 8 3/4" around, so i rounded up to a size 9. Turns out that was the wrong direction. I have a fairly square palm with shorter fingers, and the finger length for the size 9 was too long for me. I returned the 9s and ordered a size 8 instead, which fits well. There is plenty of give in the back of the glove to accomodate a wide hand, so if your fingers run short for your handsize feel free to round the size downward.
