I went to Cycle Gear to try these on to see how they fit. Everything was good and i had every intention of buying them. That is, until i took them off. The velcro wrist closure is stitched to go inside the glove and is covered by a piece of leather so you don't feel it putting the glove on or while wearing it but upon taking it off, I could feel the velcro scratch against the top of my hand. Besides that, they feel very comfortable and have a ton of perforation so i have no doubt that they breath very well in hot weather. So if you don't mind the velcro scratching against your hand every time you take them off or can figure out a way to keep the leather in place over it then these would be a very good glove. Maybe in the next iteration of these, Reax will fix this problem. But overall, minus that issue, i would have no problem rocking these gloves everyday.

I have been wearing these gloves on my daily commute (96 miles round trip) for two weeks. At first they were very tight, after two weeks they are still tight, but are easier to put on and take off than when they were new. The finger length is not bad. My trouble spot on these gloves is getting the base of my palm (just above the wrist) in them. My three big gripes for these gloves all relate to comfort.

First, the leather covering the Velcro on the inside of the glove only covers the Velcro when putting them on, so when taking them off they scratch the back of your hand. Given how tight the gloves are, the Velcro really digs in.

Second, the perforation doesn’t seem to be very effective. They do keep my hands from sweating uncontrollably, however, I don’t feel any air on my hands when riding. Riding in 50ish degree Fahrenheit weather and my hands didn’t get cold does not give me much faith that they will be able to keep my hands from sweating to the point that it starts to ruin the gloves. I don’t think they will survive a Phoenix summer. I guess I’ll know in a few months. I suppose they might work better for a cooler climate.

Third, the palm leather bunches up pretty bad while riding. The resulting bunch feels like there is a small rod between my hand and the handle bar grip. After almost 50 miles of riding, that ‘rod’ starts to hurt the palm of my hand.

I though about switching from large to extra large, but I would think that would cause the bunching of palm leather to be even worse.

The gloves are usable and seem to do their job, just not very comfortably. I would not buys these gloves again, and am on the lookout for a pair to replace them.

These gloves are extremely well made and honestly do not see them falling apart anytime soon. I got them in all black and look fantastic which goes great with my Café Racer bike. The leather is thick enough for protection but not too thick to restrict movement or cause discomfort. The leather, hard bits, textile, and stitching are all of good quality and provide great protection in the event of a slide and fall. It is very comfortable* due to gel padded knuckles and soft silky lining. It being true to size (using the sizing chart) helps too.

The airflow is present, but not as good as mesh gloves; however, that is the sacrifice for added protection and I am fine with that. One thing to note, although there is mesh on the insides of the finger, the only time you feel airflow in that area, is if you spread your fingers apart. I suppose it’s mainly there so that your hands don’t sweat as much.

There are just a few things I wish were different. These gloves fingers are spot on perfect in length for me EXCEPT the thumb. It’s awkwardly smaller, so when pressing on the controls, i cannot fully extend my thumb, therefor I need to slightly move or tilt my entire hand to get to the controls (I tried one size up at a local store and the fingers are all too long, so use the sizing chart). The second thing (mentioned by the other reviewer) is the blasted Velcro that remains inside the glove. It scratches your hand every time you take it off. There is a soft suede like material over it, but the stitching is not at the edge of the interior Velcro part, so as you pull the glove off, it also pulls the suede like material back, exposing the Velcro, scratching your hand. I also had to cut off a sharp corner of the Velcro part as it was stabbing me upon removal of the glove. Again, you ONLY feel these things when you remove them, not while the glove is on. Lastly, the phone touchscreen is just okay. With the thumb i can get it to work, but the index finger takes some placement playing to work (better than nothing i guess?)

Seriously though, these would be the perfect 5 star gloves if it weren’t for those items I mentioned above. It is appropriately priced with the features it has. I plan in keeping these as the pros out-weigh the cons by a massive amount.
