I've had quite some time riding motorcycles and have used many gloves of many types over the years. Of course I didn't get these for riding, got them for weapons handling and hiking and some other outdoor stuff. Must say they are nice. They're lightweight but have a sturdy feel. The knuckles are a soft padding but real nice, they don't seem like they'd tear too quickly. I thought the price was very reasonable for what you get. I've only had the fingerless version, I live in Florida and those are very breathable. I also like the hoop each glove has so you can hook them to a pack or belt loop when not in use and the hoops are sturdy unlike some other gloves I've had and lost cause they snapped off. Also like that its not shiny material. On fitment I got the 2XL, I normally wear XL American sizing and 2XL European sizing for gloves, the 2XL is just barely a little loose but for me it feels perfect for fingerless. If they were full finger version I would've gone XL. If you like snug though, your usual size should fit right. Very pleased with this product.
