These are the first motorcycle gloves I've bought, so I'm going off a n00b's perpsective. These are probably a little higher protection than I need for riding around in the city, but I wanted to err on the side of protection rather than something too light.
My hands might be a little small for the size I got, but too big for the next size down. The metal knuckles are a little behind my actual knuckles but seems like in a crash it'll still protect the right parts.
The red ones are a little brighter than in the pic, but they're not bright red like most other gear.

Yes, I recommend this product.

 Icon Automag Leather Pants
Icon Automag Leather Pants
'Icon Motosports' and 'leather pants' don't normally belong in the same sentence, or the same night club for that matter. But we knew that an armored leather riding pant was something that we had to do. When we were developing the new Automag jacket, the timing was right to design a matching armored leather riding pant to interface with the jacket. Technically the Automag Pant tears it up with features like full length zippered legs and fully adjustable and removable CE approved knee armor. More importantly, we paid extra attention to keeping the aesthetics honest with Icon's core street styling. Not since your Dad's swinging bachelor days has the leather pant been the right thing to do. Ask your mom, she knows. 1.2-1.4mm premium grade leather chassis Fully adjustable, removable, CE approved knee armor Full length zippered legs for easy on/off Cam-over waist adjustment lock Relaxed fit for over-pant use Gathered leather knee panel These pants are sized to fit as overpants. If you wear a size 34 pant-buy a size 34 Automag Overpant if you intend to wear them over your jeans. If you plan on running commando-buy a size 32
 

How waterproof is leather?

Since these are overpants, I wouldn't want to get my pants underneath wet in the rain if I'm going to work. Will they keep your legs somewhat dry?

Does this jacket have elbow and/or forearm protection?

I mean like metal plates or something besides just the leather
