Good gloves for the right fit on the right bike

From CA Central Valley
It's tough buying gloves without trying them on first. There are so many variances to the fit, that what works for one won't for another. This was the case for me with these gloves. The size is measured by the circumference of the palm, and knowing that my fingers are usually cramped inside gloves, I bought one size larger. Unfortunately, the fingers are still cramped, but the palm is very loose. These would better fit someone with thick hands and shorter fingers. As for function, the cramped fit makes it hard to reach the brakes and clutch without rotating my entire hand forward. Just an odd fit. On the warmth, they're good, but not great. I can feel the cold at 50 degrees on my naked bike. By 45 degrees my fingers are cold. On my faired bike they're warm to 45 degrees, but by 40 my fingers are cold (maybe because they're pressed up against the top).
Pros Great Value
Cons Cramped
Yes, I recommend this product.

BATTERY CAPACITY DECREASES IN VERY COLD WEATHER, ESPECIALLY IF THE BATTERY IS NOT INSULATED, AND IS LEFT EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. AT LESS THAN 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT A BATTERY MAY ONLY PRODUCE 80 OF ITS CAPACITY.
Sizing
Reviews throughout the web suggest that sizing is unusual in these gloves; that they run big (or super big). My measurement falls right on the breaking point (small = up to 8.5, medium 8.6+). I measure 8.55. Is it better to round up or round down? If it matters, I have long fingers.

Any trade in value on an SHM10 duel pack for the newer set that has firmware upgradeable features?
Bought the SHM10 in May and now the SR10 in September. The SR10 is firmware upgradeable but the version of the SHM10 that I got in May are not. (not the "b" version. Some of the patches in the latest firmware release would resolve some problems that I am having with my SHM10 and Android Smartphone.

5/16/12 Just today I spoke with Sena about this. They continue to offer an option for those of us in this category. They offer the main unit and the cables (no microphone, clamps, etc) for about $120 per unit. The number is 866-887-7362 x-116. I was told there is no expiration date for the offer.
