I had to buy a size 2XL in order to fit, although I usually wear a size XL for other gloves. Not a very durable gloves I would say, the leather wears off quite easily.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Provide the best overall protection and comfort. There are not many gloves that have metal knuckle protection (except for Icon Timax, which I have tried before, rather heavy for the original long version), and I would say this is the best. Light weight, comfortable and fits well.
Yes, I recommend this product.

For this particular design of dainese gloves, how do I tell if it is authetic or replica?

There are forums where people sell off their full metal pro dainese gloves for one reason or another (wrong size, etc.). Is there any way to identify whether the gloves is authetic or replica? There are in fact many replicas coming from China, and there is possibility that these people in forums are selling off replicas. Please advice.

Joe Rocket GPX 2.0 Leather Gloves Drum dyed leather top Pittards Ceramic infused leather Armor Tan palm Injection molded, vented knuckle TPR reinforcements on leading edge of knuckles High density padding on fingers, cuff and wrist Double cuff closure Available in Men's sizes S-2XL
 

GPX 2.0

Are the Joe Rocket GPX 2.O Gloves true to size? I had to send a pair of Venom Street Fighter Gloves back today because I could barely get my hands in them. I measure my had and it measured at a 9.5 Should I stay with a ten if I decide to order your glove and will these gloves break in and give a way some after using them more often?
Not sure about whether it is true to size, but I have a pair of Joe Rocket GPX 2.0 (Size 2XL). For Alpinestar GP Pro, I also had to wear size 2XL to fit. But however, I find Alpinestar GP Pro (Size 2XL) fits better than Joe Rocket GPX 2.0 (Size 2XL). Joe Rocket GPX 2.0 (Size 2XL) bit of loose fit. Maybe, Joe Rocket GPX 2.0 is bigger that any other gloves' sizing. Not recommended to be too big, as the knuckle protection will be loose.
