4.0 out of 5 stars Protects everything but the knuckle of your thumb ..., July 17, 2009

*Forgive me if I am using the wrong terms for the anatomy of the hand! Here goes...

These gloves are just as shown in the pictures. They have leather (the leather smells/feels real, and it is not synthetic) on the palm of one's hand, a nylon/kevlar space/strip between the 'palm' part and the 'knuckle part, and leather on the 'back' part where the knuckles are. The mesh is multi-layered, which means that, if their assertion that the kevlar is abrasion-resistant holds true, then the gloves provide adequate protection in case of a mild/regular fall.

To be honest, these gloves seem to provide some kind of protection to your four fingers and the knuckles ('carbon kevlar'), in addition to extra padding (not 'carbon kevlar') to the area of the 'knuckle on your wrist', but if you need protection to your thumb knuckle, then look to gloves that protect the knuckle of the thumb. That may or may not be an issue.

Motorcycle safety experts (don't quote me on this) state that, during a fall, we humans instinctively try to break the fall using our palms, and if that is the case, then these gloves might prevent nasty road rash.

The gloves have an exact 'tight' fit, which I like, because this means that I am in full control of the handlebars. I think that once they are worn in, then they fit better, so be careful about ordering. They have velcro straps on the wrist and 'wrist-knuckle' area, which means that they are adjustable to accommodate slight adjustments that are user specific.

These gloves are not for winter riding, and may only be used during hot or spring-like weather, but once it turns icy, then you may need to get warmer gloves. The mesh/leather mixture might slightly compromise the integrity of the gloves, but I looked at the seams, and they felt good enough when pulled.

I viewed 'designer' motorcycle gloves like Joe Rocket Supermoto gloves, AGV Sport GPR roadracing gloves,Harley Davidson FXRG Gauntlet gloves, Alpinestars GP Tech gloves, etc, and I see very little difference, if any, between the designer gloves and this pair. They are built (almost) the same, but the designer ones cost much more. Buying these gloves means that you shall join the core few group (I think 2%) that protect their hands and knuckles from a fall. Most riders don't use gloves, and the ones that do use flimsy ones that offer no protection whatsoever from a fall of any kind. I have even seen riders with fingerless gloves! How will those protect you in case of a fall?? Squids!!!

For the lack of protection of the thumb, I give them a 4! (more like 3 and a half) If you buy top brand helmets and leathers, then I believe that you should buy designer gloves for your own piece of mind. However, if you are like me who looks for bargains, I feel that these gloves that protect you just as well as the designer gloves, for much less than the designer prices.

Safe riding. All The Gear All The Time! (ATGATT)

With a little hesitation I ordered these gloves, they appeared too good to be true. Once I recieved the gloves, I was mildly surprised at the fit and quality! Great Bargain!

These gloves have turned out to be some of the best ones I've had in a while! I'm a hot natured guy, so these work perfect on the warmer weather rides. The air vents are perfectly placed to keep air flowing through the glove and to keep you from sweating too much against the leather. On colder rides, they may not keep you warm enough if you're a cold natured person, but for me they're perfect! I highly recommend these to anyone who wants to stay a little cooler during those long rides!
