Bought this glove based on all the reviews, I haven't ridden with them yet. However initial impressions are that these will be a great pair of gloves. Only time will tell the details and their durability. I was unsure on sizing since no one locally sells these. I ended up picking up size 9 and my hand measures:
* Palm 9.5" (per Revzilla Guide) * Base of palm to index finger 7" (2.75" finger) * Base of palm to middle finger, tip 7.5" (3.25" finger) * Base of palm to pinky finger, tip 6" (2.5" finger)
Glove fits well, a little tight but not uncomfortably so. Only the index finger is a little long, maybe 1/4" or so... glove should break-in nicely.

I have size 9 Alpinestars GP Plus' from a couple years ago and the seams at the tips of the fingers are irritating. Should I order a size 9 or 10 in Held? My hand width is 9"
In Alpinestars SP-2 gloves my fit was XL and in Held Air Heros 9 and they fit me well. My hand width is 9.5"...
