I've had these gloves for roughly 30 days now (used them for roughly 500kms/300miles) and these have by far been the most comfortable gloves I've ever put my palms in.First things first- the lights! The turn signal lights do their job phenomenally well. The lights are visible in broad daylight and are incredible once it gets darker. The thumb-index finger clicking mechanism is very convenient to activate. The two metal plates on the gloves (that activate the lights) are fairly flat and don't really get in the way when your gripping the handle bar.The gloves are generously padded, and deliver a really comfortable ride. The stitching of the gloves is really robust and haven't shown any wear & tear in these 500 kms I have used them for. At first I was a little hesitant in getting the gloves wet, but I have used these gloves in the rains have they haven't failed me.The only thing that was mildly annoying was that its very easy to activate the lights when you don't intend to (when your off your bike for a drink, etc etc) It is not really a con, but many time people begin to think that I am deliberately activating the lights just to show off my gloves :PThe gloves came in a cardboard box with Zackees Branding, and inside the box were the gloves, a small user manual (yes! these are a pair of gloves with a user manual!!!), an extra pair of rechargeable battery and the charging unit. Also, you get reflective "Z" sticker- which is kinda cool!All in all, these are a fantastic pair of bike gloves, that will really attract eyeballs when you use them, will keep you safe while riding, and will ensure a safe and comfortable ride.

The idea is awesome, and the execution is--for the most part--excellent as well. The only problem I've run into is one glove seems less sensitive then the other. The metal pieces will be in contact, and the batteries are fully charged, but no blinking occurs. It then takes some finagling to get the glove to blink. Not sure why. The other one works perfectly. If the two metal pieces are touching at all then it blinks brightly. Also, I should note these gloves have yet to be laundered (though supposedly they should be able to take a gentle wash). If they can get the bugs ironed out this will truly be THE killer bike gear to have. Now I'm on the lookout for an auditory rear alert which mounts like a tail light but emits piercing directional audio to get people to stop texting and take note of the bicyclist ahead of them.

Update 8/4/15: Wow, these fantastic gloves are backed my exceptional customer service, too! After reading my review on Amazon, Zach himself contacted me about the minor issues I mentioned above. In fact, a company representative contacted me first, and then, when I didn't respond, Zach personally emailed to express his commitment to ensuring my COMPLETE satisfaction with the gloves. He said they'd be happy to exchange them for a new pair of the second generation glove. I provided my address, glove size, and desired color, and the gloves arrived a couple days later. I'm happy to report that the second generation of these gloves is even better than the first. In addition to working perfectly (both gloves blink reliably and brightly whenever used), I also have noticed that the battery life is far better on these. I used to be to charge them every other day, but the new generation has yet to require recharging even after a week of using them. Granted, I just wear these every day on my 10 mile commute to and from work, but still, the increased battery life has been much appreciated. As before these fit like a glove (sorry, couldn't help myself), look sharp, work well, and are very comfortable. They're also very well made.

One last thing. When I ordered these my wife expressed extreme reluctance (to put it mildly) about spending this kind of money on what she deemed a "gimmick", but after seeing these in action she's become a believer and wants a pair for herself. It's just much clearer what your intentions are, as a cyclist, they're much more visible then an extended arm (particularly at dusk or nighttime), and they are all around excellent gloves. Well done, Zachees! And thank you for the excellent and persistent service. Much appreciated!

So I bought these leading into winter (Nov 4) and only got to use them a little bit as it got cold enough to require warmer gloves than the summer edition before long. The lights functioned well; the contacts functioned a little too well for turning them on, and I found it convenient to cover part of the contact on each glove with some painter's tape to prevent it from turning on as I put on the gloves.

Pros:
-Comfortable design
-Construction is quite durable
-the pads on the palms are slim but effective, and cover a majority of the palm to assist with a good grip on rubber handlebars.
-The lights function well; while not likely to grab at driver's attention in daytime, are very bright at night.
-the contacts are very sensitive; they go off as I'm putting the gloves on, taking them off, and handling them. This makes it very easy to turn them on when you need them.
-Pull tabs on the forefinger, middle finger, and ring finger make removing the gloves pretty easy. Sweat does not greatly complicate removal.
-Two included pairs of rechargeable batteries and a charger. Very useful, though I recommend removing the batteries from the gloves any time they are not in use to help guard against corrosion.

Cons:
-The pads on the bottom and the sealed electronics on the top do trap the sweat a little. I haven't noticed severe build-up; I'd say there might be a little bit of added heat as a result.
-The design of the gloves necessitates removing one hand to signal, and at a slightly odd angle so the arrow points in the right direction; it take a little getting used to. Hopefully that awkwardness results from changing away from the basic hand signals; but it is best on any kind of turn to keep both hands on the handlebars.
-I haven't purchased the winter gloves; I fear they will not be warm enough for me. That said, the summer gloves aren't really designed to work in temperatures colder than, say...50 degrees. At that point you'd need warmer gloves.

Maybe someone could come up with a strap-on glove signalling system; one that could be put on over top any thick winter gloves. Precipitation would still be a concern, but sweat would be less of one; and the materials cost might be much less.
I recommend removing the batteries any time you are not wearing the gloves to help guard against corrosion (better safe than sorry, right?), and tape partially covering the contacts might help guard against accidentally turning them on, if that's a concern (ouch, bright light :P). All in all, seems like a pretty solid pair of gloves; even if the lights go out.

I've had these gloves for roughly 30 days now (used them for roughly 500kms/300miles) and these have by far been the most comfortable gloves I've ever put my palms in.
First things first- the lights! The turn signal lights do their job phenomenally well. The lights are visible in broad daylight and are incredible once it gets darker.

The only thing that was mildly annoying was that its very easy to activate the lights when you don't intend to (when your off your bike for a drink, etc etc) It is not really a con, but many time people begin to think that I am deliberately activating the lights just to show off my gloves :P

The gloves came in a cardboard box with Zackees Branding, and inside the box were the gloves, a small user manual (yes! these are a pair of gloves with a user manual!!!), an extra pair of rechargeable battery and the charging unit. Also, you get reflective "Z" sticker- which is kinda cool!

All in all, these are a fantastic pair of bike gloves, that will really attract eyeballs when you use them, will keep you safe while riding, and will ensure a safe and comfortable ride.
