I found these on clearance with the new 2012 Astars gloves out and so the bang for the buck has 5 stars going straight to RevZilla. - This is the first full size gloves i have ever purchased and my previous set were also AlpineStars and i had great success with the first pair from them so ill stick with them until proven otherwise. - The style is preference so if that's your main concern in the gloves you wear then find what you like the best but these guys have a few color choices. My preference is function > form and this product is it! - Comfort is important with all riding gear and i feel like these do take some time to get broken in but maybe just few rides and i ride in the rain so mine get worked in pretty quick! The thumb slot seems intentionally made larger than normal when off the bike but when you are riding my thumb fills in the glove and fits nice. - Protection is based off the features i see, have only owned these for a month or so and have not gone down. - Air flow is good, keep riding!! - Read the product description for features, they are all there!
