Icon Compound Mesh Short Gloves The Compound Mesh Shorty is all businessin a wrist-length package. Built of a durable mesh chassis and neoprene flex panels, both the fit and function of the Compound is beyond reproach. Add in dual compound main knuckle armor, finger armor and a Battlehide goatskin palm and the results are clear. Compound your expectations from a mesh riding glove.

I have had a hard time finding a pair of street gloves that fit right. I am a perfect Medium in Shift motocross gloves, but they have a little more stretch at the opening than most street gloves. Alpinestar's in size Large were difficult to put on and were too tight around the palm. I tried the A-stars XL and the palm almost felt the same, but the fingers were too long. After hearing that the Icon gear is sized more "American," I tried these gloves in a Large. Overall, the fit is nice. Palm is not too tight and not too loose. However, the fingers are too long and catch on my levers whenever I reach for the brake or clutch. I think I have enough room in the palm (and the leather should stretch a bit over time) to move down to a Medium.

Clearer breakdown of cheek pad sizes please
I just replaced my Arai Profile with a Bell Star SM. The the fit is looser than the Arai. I'm wondering if that has to do with the "soft" (street?) or "firm" (track?) cheek pads. I also need to lift the helmet a bit on the top, which I needed to do on the Arai as well.
There's very little information as to the effects of any of these differences, and no reference for the sizes. What size comes stock in a SM? 40mm?
