black pigment comes off and stains hands, October 14, 2009
This review is from: LEATHER MESH GLOVES MOTORCYCLE BIKE GLOVE Black (Apparel)
i bought these gloves so i could have my own gloves while taking a motorcycle safety course. i wore the gloves for 4 hours on a Saturday and another 4 hours on a Sunday. I found several problems with these gloves:
1. the fingers were too short. i usually wear a size large and these were size large.
2. while the gloves do have a few mesh vents, these gloves do not breath. my hands were drenched in sweat.
3. sweat evidently causes the black pigment in the gloves to come off and stain the hands. the black pigment has a higher affinity for human skin than for the gloves as it would not come off my hands, even with soap and water.
4. in the safety course it was mentioned that good motorcycle gloves should not have their seams on the inside, as they will rub against the skin causing irritation. these gloves have most of the seams on the inside.
5. after wearing the gloves for a total of 8 hours, they were rags and my hands were a red, black, and raw mess.

Cool for warm weather riding, but poor design leaves knuckles vulnerable, June 29, 2009
This review is from: LEATHER MESH GLOVES MOTORCYCLE BIKE GLOVE Black (Apparel)
I was looking for a pair of gloves to use in warm weather, and these are good for that since the mesh allows lots of air through to keep the hands cooler. However, for motorcycle gloves, they're poorly designed - the leather on the fingers is cut opposite of where it should be, leaving the knuckles covered only by the mesh fabric, rather than protected by the leather. The grip side was more slippery than any other gloves I've used, and didn't feel secure on the grips. Also, after an hour of riding, some of the black dye transferred to my hands.

Budget gloves: Great product for the low price., November 11, 2008
I was looking for budget motorcycle gloves, and these were exactly what I was looking for.
For the price, they seem capable of doing the job: light duty use in cooler weather. They look great coming out of the bag. Construction is adequate, but time will tell.
For frequent use in cold weather these gloves aren't adequate, but for light duty/cool weather, the price can't be beat.
