Well overall these gloves are a great product. Very well made, lots of craftsmanship. I ride ATV and these felt tight on my thumb throttle. The fingers were a little long, not sure if box cut fingers are for my style (kinda bulky). So in all I ordered a small, but I'm not sure if medium will help because the fingers are already long. I read that the finger tips should not be up against the gloves either. So it's actually the thumbs that bother me on these gloves (not sure if "breaking" them in will solve this...)
I haven't actually used them, I've only worn then and gripped my handle bars to get a feel. So I can't tell much more at this time as far performance and durability.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Small vs medium
Does the finger length differ in mediums? Or is it just palm circumference? I recently purchased small, but the thumbs were a little tight, and my other finger tips didn't touch the ends. If the mediums have a larger circumference and same finger lengths, then this might be a good choice for me to size up

How small does the Velcro strap at the wrist cinch down?
I have wide palms with longer fingers so always wear men's gloves, but have a problem with most Velcro wrist straps-- when strapped over my women's wrists, there isn't enough of a contact patch for the Velcro to stay closed at speed, especially if the extra length flaps. Rev'It gloves are a rare exception. How do the Klims compare?
I have small wrists as well, and if u don't open up the cinches all the way, it can hard to put them on or pull off. They can be velcrod on pretty tight if needed

How bulky is the cuff?
I like the long version over the short for the upgraded features. My jacket is pretty bulky itself, I would prefer to ride with the glove inside my jacket cuff. Am I going to end up with a bunch of material fighting for space?
Also, is the visor wiper adequate? The video doesn't mention it. I use my wiper quite a bit (this is one reason I am shy about the Rev'It gloves, but still considering.)

Klim element long ... If the jacket is bulky, these should fit okay inside. The Velcro strip is pretty generous and can be put on pretty tight ( I have thin forearms also). As far as the wiper, I haven't had the opportunity to use it. It appears as if it will function well.
