I ordered these gloves on pre-order based on the Revzilla you tube review. These are a really neat glove and the two chamber technology is a great idea. I haven't been in a downpour yet with them so I can't speak to the waterproof side of things but it's gortex so I have no doubts they'll keep my hands dry. As to the airflow, the palms flow a ton of air but you don't get much airflow on the back of the hand due to the gortex chamber blocking most of the air. In my opinion these gloves are a great spring and fall glove and even winter (with heated grips - which my bike has). They will work for summer too but if it's really hot then a dedicated summer glove would be best. So they'll work for me for about 90% of my riding, great glove!

Added bulk?
wondering about the added bulk of having the Gore-Tex layer stashed in 'Air' mode. If it's hanging out against the top of your hand, doesn't that negate some of the airflow coming in from the vents? Is the bulk noticeable/distracting?
When the glove is in "air" mode there is really no noticeable added bulk but the goretex layer does cut
down on the airflow to the top of your hand quite a bit.
