I got these for cold weather riding, and they don't ventilate well. Keeping that in mind, they are awesome gloves! Not only they look like medieval gauntlets, and make your hands much bulkier - they are extremely comfortable and if a mishap happens, I'm sure that all the metal and armor will hold up well in a crash.
The gauntlets are very comfortable as well, with a double closure system. They go over a jacket, and forget about tucking them in - they are just too wide.
Using the Icon glove chart, they fit a little roomy, but I actually wear inner gloves with them, since I use them in cold weather. The palm is very thin and supple leather, and they work great with heated grips.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Icon Overlord Long Gloves

Icon Overlord Long Gloves Strong, light, and ready for duty - the Overlord glove is the finest glove Icon has ever offered. We started with a Kangaroo palm - thin for ultimate feedback form your controls yet more abrasion resistant than cowhide. Critical impact areas were treated to reinforcements of Pittard's Keratan - a flexible yet significantly enhanced abrasion resistant goatskin. The backhand is constructed from Icon's Battlehide goatskin - forming a tough yet lightweight barrier against asphalt incursion. A full compliment of injection molded armor plating provides additional defensive measures. The Overlord also features a floating knuckle design which allows for maximum articulation while reducing hand fatigue. The overall effect of these materials choices and pattern engineering is instant comfort, protection, and mobility. If you're in the market for a full gauntlet glove slip on an Overlord and judge for yourself.

SIZING for Icon Overlord gauntlet gloves

Hi there Revzilla's
I'm interested in the Icon Overlord gauntlet gloves, and just need some assistance and guidance on sizing. I have 2 questions.
1. I have measured the circumference of my hand, and it is just on 9". What size do you recommend?
2. I have tried on some other brands of gauntlet, and have found difficulty getting my hand through the wrist opening. If I go up to a size where I can get through the wrist opening, I usually find the gloves are too big. I seem to have a disproportionally wide palm compared to my finger length! Is the wrist opening of the Icon overlord typical, or is it smaller/larger than average? Maybe I'm better off with the short version of the Overlord?

Cheers
John

the entrance into the gloves is adjustable by a triple velcro strap, as well as an adjustment strap. I think you will be fine with the gauntlets. I used the Icon size chart where you put your hand against the paper and see what size you are - you can download and print it yourself.

Is the liner removable?

Some "buyer" reviews of these gloves state that the insulated liner can be removed. Is this the case?

I don't think so, there is no insulating layer that I can see. They are not insulated
