Exactly what I expected June 30, 2010 J. S. Dayley (Seattle, Washington) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really like the reviews that say "my motorcycle safety class guy said that the best gloves have seams on the outside." Guess what? These are not the best gloves money can buy. They are cheap and effective.
Same thing about not being able to pick up a quarter off the ground. That takes me a couple tries with my bare hands.
If you want gloves that are by themselves comfortable at all times and in all weather, really durable, maximum protection, dexterity feels better than your bare hands, etc., then you're gonna have to spend $300.00. (btw, if you own $300 gloves and aren't some kind of professional racer or a retired millionaire out with your wife on a six month Goldwing tour of the US, you're just a sucker. And if you are one of those two, you're awesome).
I do apreciate the comments about them running small. I got one size up from my usual and they're just a little big. Really they're just perfect b/c I like to put a pair of $1 knit gloves underneath for weather versatility during the day.
The gloves were a little itchy when I first wore them (without my 2nd pair), but that quickly wore off. With the gloves under, they're SUPER comfortable. The grip is perfect. Also love the big knuckle pads. I get hit with more rocks to my hands than you would believe.
All-in-all, for $15 this is a great pair of gloves.
black pigment comes off and stains hands October 14, 2009 Amnia (USA) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
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.
NICE July 10, 2009 Josemaria Marrero 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
they are very good! now, I recommend to them that they buy them a greater stature to which they need, its measurement is small. But they are very good in relation price/value
Cool for warm weather riding, but poor design leaves knuckles vulnerable June 29, 2009 Strom Rider (San Francisco, CA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.

Nice and cool with protection in the right places. Will have to see how they hold up.
