These gloves are great. After a ride around town at about 50 degrees, my hands were the warmest part of my body! Thanks to the gauntlet design, you wont feel even a mild breeze at high speeds. The leather seems very durable. I gave it a 4 instead of 5 because I can feel a little bit of the stitching (on the inside of the glove) scratch against my hand at times. Completely worth the money. I would buy them again.

These are very well priced gloves and the gauntlet style is great during rainy/cold weather, but the plastic clasp broke with hours of using these on a ride. If you need something quick and cheap, get these. If you can wait and want some thing that will last, please look elsewhere.

These are very warm gloves, so please don't get them for summer riding.

Very cheap, worth the buy. Don't expect something great. But for the $$$ can't be beat. Thread lil loose. Lil rough inside.....

These gloves are very stiff and the liner is a cheap foam that wears out very quickly. Forget about manual dexterity if you're thinking of getting them for riding a motorcycle. Especially a sports bike.

There gloves are completely adequate for the price. The leather seems quality. They are described as ideal for summer riding, but nothing could be farther from the truth. They feel insulated as well as lined, which is to say they are HOT. Also, I have pretty fairly average sized man hands, typically a large in gloves, and this XL is snug. Just keep these factors in mind and you'll enjoy your purchase!

These were very inexpensive yet the quality exceeded my expectations. After a few uses however I found the interior insulation to be somewhat restrictive of finger movements... and I have pretty strong hands mind you.

Since I rarely ride in extremely cold weather, I pulled the insulation inside out and cut off all the insulation around the fingers and thumb, pushed the insulation back into the glove (its only stitched together at the cuff) and voila! The glove was transformed. I still benefit from insulation around the wrist and palm but keep movement at the fingers... suddenly this became an all season glove and I love it even more. Good Luck!

Buy these gloves if you make short or infrequent trips when it is under 45 degrees. They will keep you warm, but aren't the most comfortable. If you make longer trips or constantly ride in under 45 degrees, get something more comfortable with the pre-curved fingers.

I found the pair sent to me to be unacceptable. Touch leather without a good feel. Gauntlets are not large or long enough. Not much insulation. I sent mine back. I recommend paying a few dollars more and getting a better pair.

These don't cost a lot and there's a reason. They're not bad or awful or anything, but they're just cheap. I got X'Large ones but they seem to fit tight, however they're big and bulky on the outside. Also the leather, if that is what it is, isn't supple so it slips on my handle grips, I hope it breaks down and becomes grippier with time. As basic riding glove go, these are okay.

Update:
These lasted pretty much one season and the seams in the palms started to come apart. The leather did break in and become grippy, and they are warm.

I got these based on the reviews and I say they feel somewhat warm. I have small hands and I got a medium and for some breathing room and they fit "like a glove" no actually like somebody in like spandex or something however not uncomfortable. It has a strap in case you are worried they would come off in a crash. It seems between fake leather and real leather by the feel. It isn't some amazing type of leather sort of cheapish but for the price just to get me riding on the cheap. I'll see how these do down the road. So far so good.
