Im gonna buy again
I bought these gloves a month ago loved em very comfortable. 2 days ago i laid my bike down at 70 mph on my way to reno street vibrations the gloves ripped open but my hands were 100% protected the metal knuckles and palm supports worked perfect. Bottom line. These gloves did their job

Looks good but not comfortable.(READ UPDATE)
The gloves look very nice, they have a snug fit which I like. The stitching on the dumbs is weird and makes my thumbs look like I have fake fingernails on. The gloves are not waterproof, they are more of a summer glove. They do make for a nice non slipping grip of my motorcycle hand grips. There is a rugged, hard rubber guard on the lower part of the palm which is annoying, very uncomfortable and makes my hands fatigued after a few minutes of riding. Not the best choice if you ride a sport tourer. Other than that they do look great.UPDATE (10/16/2016)I updated my review from 3 stars to 5 stars and here is the reason why. I wear this gloves every time I ride (almost daily) and yesterday I had an issue with my bike which caused me to crash, because of how I went down, the first thing that I did to break the fall was put my hands on the pavement. This gloves absorbed the damage that my hands would have taken otherwise. The hard rubber part was severely scraped, had I not had that, most of the skin from my hands would have been on asphalt, my left glove broke due to me dragging on the road but thats expected.If you want a glove that will protect your hands if you fall, I'd say this one is a very good choice.

Just crashed, Still able to type!
So I crashed my bike, Cruiser(Metal) is done.... was wearing full gear, I walked away with a scraped knee and pulled muscles in my lower ankle on the side my bike hit first. My gloves my wife purchased last Christmas completely saved my palms and knuckles. I will try to post pictures on the extent of damage to the gloves. I have a small(euro cent) center right hand road rash and a chaffed pinky knuckle from impact. The hard plastic on the palm completely saved me from severe road burn and the metal knuckle took the damage rather then my bone. I feel confident that I could use the same pair again but I was taught not to test safety gear again after it serves its purpose so I am buying another pair right now. Only wish the palm hard plastic was a little bigger for large hands!!

Had a major accident with these on!! Read.
A driver waiting in the middle lane did not yield before she turned left and I got hit by her. I flew off my bike and was airborne about 4 seconds before I hit the ground where I was scrapping and sliding on the ground for about 6 more feet. The gloves got torn up but my hands remain scratch less as if nothing happened to them. Check out the pictures. It's a miracle I'm alive right now. Ride safe guys. This is a great purchase but it's a one and done deal. Buy new ones if you get in a wreck.

Held up to wreck.
These held up to a motorcycle wreck at county highway speeds. Front tire went to outside-left on turn, so rider did a sort-of high-side superman. Slid about 40 ft on asphalt then 40 feet in grass. see attached pictures. Palm plates were ground down as well as some knuckle damage. Had minor scrapes on hands. Would definately buy again. Comfort level was adequate.

*RIDICULOUSLY* good mesh gloves for the price
..and that's coming from someone who turns his nose up at most gloves that don't say "DIANESE" on them.It's tough to find mesh gloves with hard knuckles and palm sliders at all (both features that I consider mandatory for a "motorcycle" glove), let alone for this cheap and comfortable. If you live in a hot & rainy area (i.e. The Gulf South), you *need* to have a set of these laying around in a toolbag as a spare so that your nice $200 Italian race gloves don't get saturated from riding for hours in a downpour that snuck up on you.Ventilation is phenomenal. I was a bit dubious about the little silicone grip strips embedded into the palm but it turns out they have just the right amount of tackiness without being obtrusive. The sizing fits true, maybe just a little on the snug side. All in all, for all the money you're going to spend on random crap for your bike (you know you're guilty this too), you can't afford to pass up a bargain like this.

Best bang for your bug and great looking gloves
I have nothing bad to say about these gloves, except they are not the most comfortable ones out there, but If you get the right size, you will get used to it, they're not super uncomfortable either, I like the look of them and they seem pretty well made and at that price nothing comes close to these. Mad bike did an awesome job and when I wear them I always have to look at them while driving because they make the rider look that much stealthier and I even feel sexy in them. I like the little touch of leather plus the metal looking knuckles protection it's amazing, I still don't know if they're really metal cause they don't sound when like metal when you hit them but they absolutely look hard as steel. Great fit. I'm a 5'10" and I bought the large ones, they seem just a little bit big for me but not so much. I didn't get the medium because I wanted to be able to have great mobility in order to hold levers with 2 to 3 fingers while holding the throttle at the same time, and the clutch side is no exception, so you have to think about that. They seem very durable, So far I haven't seen the first thread coming off which is a good thing.

Good protection, mediocre warmth and touch
Bought these primarily for safety. Based on light testing they provide decent protection, although if you fell hard your knuckles would probably be pretty bruised by the hard shell as there is little padding.The gloves themselves are very thin. It provides hardly any warmth, although better than nothing, especially if you ball up your hands as the plastic does break some of the wind. On the flipside, if it's hot these are pretty good for not getting your hands sweaty.They do work on touch screens, but nowhere near as well as your finger. If you need to do some very rough action like dismiss a call they will be fine. Fine actions like typing - forget it. It will be easier and faster to take it off and type with your finger. I don't do much typing while riding so I consider this acceptable.Overall, I was looking for a cheap glove that would provide decent protection and not be too hot. This one did the job well.

Best ever. This is my 3rd pair.
These are not only my favourite gloves ever but they are the best gloves ever. this actually is my 3rd pair and this time I went with leather. My first pair were toast when I hit a raccoon at 110. Myself my CBR hit the road, I tumbled and then slid about 100 yards landing just shy of a rock cut. the little bumpy things on the palm were all ground off and the knuckle guards were shredded up pretty good. (will add pic when I find where I put em) they stood the test and I will never buy or use biking gloves from another company. I likely owe this company my hands because of their product. all I got was a 3 inch scratch on my leg and I got back on the bike and finished my trek home. forks were bent and the bike went off to have the engine removed to become a lawn tractor. lol. this just proves that proper equipment can and will save your life and the use if your limbs. so thanks a bunch to the crew that make these gloves. job well done!

Sizing is off
Sizing listed on amazon is different than sizing on packaging.Annoyed because i was looking forward to riding.I need a medium not a large based on the packaging description.Gloves feel cheap.Knuckles are pure plastic, it kinda hurts inside the glove.Metal balls are tacky looking

These are pretty much the perfect glove at the price
The media could not be loaded. For the price these are honestly the perfect gloves and the video I left are my old gloves that I got in the fabric and have now bought the same ones but in leather this time, I've used the old gloves well over a hundred times by now and only paid maybe thirty dollars for them, I was going to stitch the one seam and just continue on with the same pair I liked them so much, I live in northern Ontario so riding all year isn't an option but with a nice pair of wind resistant gloves shoved inside I've managed rides with semi warm fingers at near -10°c. I personally find it hard to ride beyond that especially on a crotch rocket. If you're new or old to riding and need gloves don't hesitate, buy these , and buy them three times over and you'll have three pairs of amazing gloves for the same price as one really nice pair of something like alpinestar gloves.

Tight fit
Usually wear a medium sized glove, but these are way to tight to put on. Once you squeeze your hand in the length is good, but the plastic knuckle protection hurts your hand. Maybe I'll try a size up and go from there. Quality seems good actually, I think they would protect your hands in an accident.

Good grip but short fingers
I use them with my wheelchair. The grippy palms are good for pushing hard through the snow. Quite thin though, not warm at all. XXL is just barely big enough for me with the velcro wrist closures totally open--the finger are quite short. Probably won't last very long, but inexpensive!
