I measured my hand according to the sizing guide, and ordered a M (I've worn the same pair of M icon short cuff gloves for YEARS).
This is my first pair of full cuff gauntlet race gloves. I plan to eventually take these to a track, but at the moment, I use them for the everyday to spirited weekend rides.
What ultimately led me to choosing the Rev'it Jerez was the more reasonable price for slim appearance and comparable features (and in some areas MORE features) to the Dianese top-of-the-line glove, "Full Metal Pro." I especially was attracted to the implementation of the aluminum protection of the ulna.
I've been riding with these for about a month now, and find them to be both stylish and comfortable while providing ample protection. The soft nature of the leather makes this pair of glove really comfortable AFTER break-in: it's not stiff in any way.

The Downsides:
1) For the first day I used them I noticed some discomfort due to my lack of break-in time. The knuckle protection chaffed inside and the finger tips were extremely snug. Upon calling Revzilla, I was instructed to give them a bit more hours of break-in (wearing them at home, and flexing the hand a lot sufficed). The fingertips are still a little snug, but adequately stretched, though the right glove is still a little tighter on the thumb tip (probably because it doesn't get stretched half as much as the clutch side). I expect this will change over time. The knuckle chaffing ceased altogether.
2) I have noticed some minor fraying of the stitching on the right side index finger (pictures included). I'm not sure if this will be a problem in the long run...hopefully not.

This visor is perfectly tinted for daytime riding. There's no need to squint in sunlight whatsoever: I absolutely love it, and makes riding vastly comfortable for the eyes. Naturally, the shield is far too dark for night riding; it's a great thing that the GPtech has an easy visor switch system (it changes in seconds). The tear-off post system is also a plus.

AGV GP-Tech 5 Continents Rossi Helmet GP-Tech, the top of the AGV helmet line, was conceived, designed, and developed with the one precise objective of being the benchmark for helmets primarily destined to racing use. Made on the basis of the best of AGV racing experience, the GP-Tech combines safety, ventilation, and perfect comfort with an extremely innovative and aerodynamic design. GP-Techs design is the most innovative in the market today, and its assertively modern lines clearly distinguish it from its competitors. Aesthetics is not merely an end in itself, however the slender and streamlined chin guard, the lines at the sides, the top air vents and the back tail all make the helmet extremely aerodynamic, ensure excellent ventilation, and guarantee perfect safety performance in case of impact. 2-piece dual-density carbon Kevlar construction Ventilated by the IVS (Integrated Ventilation System) which features channels hollowed directly into the shell of the helmet Features a fully removable and washable Cool Max liner Comes with an anti-fog and anti-scratch polycarbonate clear Racer-X visor with tear-off system Replace the shield within seconds without the use of tools Double D-ring chin strap Clear shield included with helmet, dark smoke shield sold separately Comes in 3 Shell Sizes (XXS, XS, S, M),(L, XL),(XXL, XXXL) DOT and ECE-2205 certified

I'll break down why I selected the values I did above, but first off, I want to say I LOVE this helmet! It is the third high end helmet I've bought, and it is my 2nd AGV helmet (the last being a ti-tech). I was amazed at the improvements made in contrast to the ti-tech. This company is definitely moving forward!
•BANG FOR THE BUCK: I got this lid with 200 bucks off, can't complain! THANKS REVZILLA!
•STYLE: Everything from shape to graphics exudes flare and definitely catches eyes & turns heads.
•COMFORT: After break-in (it starts off rather snug - i got a small after wearing a small ti-tech for years) the helmet is comfortable enough to take a nap in. Internals are very well-made. Improvements in the cloth of cheek pads and inner lining in addition to the slimmed-down, non-intrusive neck roll have increased comfort (in the past I found neck rolls to be too fat / long, obstructing head entry and rubbed excessively when head checking). AGV has addressed this in this model.
•PROTECTION AND DURABILITY: Solidly made, the only things I'm wary of is the suede-like material that line the internals of the shell near the mouth (it also coats and accents neck roll and straps) - this material usually ends up frayed in older helmets. While it is new, it's fantastic, time will tell if this happens to this helmet: at the moment it's grand. I have a feeling that the extension where the small button clasp for the strap after d-ring entry resides may grow weak over time (it's made of the suede aforementioned), but the d-rings and straps will endure no problem, so this is pretty minor in my opinion, but deserves mention if you've experienced the fraying I'm talking about.
•AIR FLOW: It's rather breezy, I have a lot of hair, so I don't notice a lot of top head flow, but my it doesn't bake in the helmet, so I can't complain. Facial airflow is generous. In my experience, Arai's patented brow vents are untouchable, but the venting in the gp tech is comparable, if you keep in mind that brow vents are reserved for arai.
•FEATURES: love the shape of the helmet, the grooves in the shell make it the most stable lid I've experienced at speed. Even turning your head meets very little resistence. I have no idea how AGV designed a helmet with such fantastic stability...this is the first thing I noticed and was very impressed. Other subtleties are phenomenal: painted vents, internal embroidery of the AGV logo, and the ability to vent the face shield via a small switch are just some of the fine touches that I appreciate.
