Was looking for a new pair of street riding gloves. These were in the same price range as my last pair and looked to provide similar amount of protection. I liked the styling better on the A* so I gave them a try. Happy with them after about a week and few short (less than 10 miles each trips).
Sizing Note- I usually wear a size L in other brands. XL in these are a perfect but snug fit. I expect them to loosen a little over time but L would have been much too tight.
Pros:
-GREAT ventilation!!
-Very comfortable
-Nice styling
Cons:
-A couple threads of stitching on one of the palm areas were loose and frayed when they arrived (about a two stitch gap). It is minor at this point but being that it is on the palm where I hold the clutch side grip, it may impact the construction after more use. Will have to see how they hold up over time. (see photo)
-(Nitpicky opinion here)- the velcro flap on the wrist goes from top to bottom. This makes it somewhat awkward to secure with the other hand and get the velcro lined up properly. Still gets the job done, but other shorty gloves I've owned went from bottom to top and I never thought about it, but they were much easier to put on. These make me feel like I could use another thumb.
Yes, I recommend this product.
