The Held Warm N Dry Glove is the choice for cold and wet weather riding. With Superfabric, reinforced knuckles,and high quality leather these comfortable gloves do not compromise protection! The Warm N Dry Gloves also work great with heated grips! The palm is thin enough to allow good feel for the controls and allow the grip heaters to warm your hands, while the lightly insulated back helps to hold in the heat and protect your hands from cold rain and windchill.

Prior cold weather insulated gloves I had left my hands sweaty and the glove interior moist, not good in cold weather riding. These Held gloves keep my hands warm and dry in the bitter cold. I have not tried them in the rain yet (not sure about this meaning of dry), but at 27 degrees with heated grips, I have no complaints, only compliments. They are comfortable with good control feel, and my hands stayed warm in abnormally cold riding conditions for a week, so they passed my tests! Good investment. Do not buy these if you do not have heated grips though, the palm facing side is non-insulated.

Scorpion Magnum Gloves The Magnum Glove from Scorpion is a full-on racing glove built to survive severe abuse with a full, billowed gauntlet that fits snug around your sleeves as well as a dual closure wrist strap, you get a glove that stays on. Features High-durometer impact-absorbing EXO armor provides maximum defense Kwickwick liner External EXO armor on fingers, knuckles and thumb provides impact absorption Pre-curved fingers No-bunch synthetic leather palm Double layer leather at sides of hands Pull tabs for easy on and off
 

Should I size up or down with this product?

My hand measures right in between medium and large sizes at 9.5 inches.
Buy both sizes and return the one that fits worse. distance between end of finger and end of glove should less than 3/8" but also not touching the end of the glove during try on.

Also, the red stripe shown on the images and in the video has been eliminated from the current models.
 

Is the glove still too big?

Hey, so when i put the gloves on, my fingers don't reach the finger tip part of the gloves, and I am wondering if this is normal/Ok. It's a small.
If distance from finger tip to end of glove is longer than 3/8" go down one size, otherwise you need to take into account the additional length needed while hands are wrapped around grips. Your fingers should never touch then end of the gloves when trying on or they will be too small while in use. The 3/8" rule is pretty reliable.
