Good protection for a cold weather glove.
Good quality product from a quality manufacturer.
Great value for the price.

I rated Air Flow as poor - it's a cold weather glove - air flow won't keep you warm. That said, the drystar lining does give you some breathability.
I'd say these are good from about 32F to 60F. Below that you'll want heated grips and above that you're gonna be sweating.
Got rained on a couple times and the drystar lining works well. Glove exterior also dried out pretty quickly.
Sizing is true Euro (add a size from a US size).
I wear these over the cuff and they work fine, but I would have liked to see a little more room bulkier jackets / layers.
Yes, I recommend this product.

H2OUT waterproof, breathable membrane
Hi,
reading on this glove I notice that you are the only one's I have read that mention the: " H2OUT waterproof, breathable membrane "
Can you explain please ?
It is a selling point for me, maybe there are 2 models ? only thing of concern for me is how it impacts the feel of the controls ?

There is a lining in the glove that keeps your hands from getting wet.
It's breathable, so when your hands get warm your sweat can wick away.
That said, if it's warm enough to where normal leather riding gloves
comfortably, you're gonna sweat in these.
The lining is waterproof, but the gloves are not. The exterior is a mix
of leather and fabric and it will get wet.
All the winter gloves that I tried on are bulkier than normal riding gloves.
You're gonna trade a little bit of bulk and feeling for the insulation. That
said, I was still able to work the vents and visor levers on my helmet by
feel and I had no problems with clutch/throttle/brakes.
