Pros: EXCELLENT PROTECTION! Worth every penny. I recently went down at the track going +60mph and the gloves did their job. The construction saved my right pinky from being dislocated and my left palm from a considerable amount of damage. My right hand/wrist is absolutely fine and all I have on my left palm is a half-dollar sized bruise from the initial impact. I wore through a couple layers of leather in the left palm but there is still one layer left. I am thoroughly convinced that these gloves saved my hands from some significant damage. Highly recommended track gloves A+. They also work well to keep my hands warm on the streets during the winter.
Cons: Require a significant breaking in period during which it can be sometimes painful when wearing them for over 20 minutes especially in the thumb. After breaking in though, no more issues w/being too tight.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: Fit true to size in length but fit tight until broken in. For example, I have a pair of Joe Rocket Trixie gloves size large and my Astars GP Plus gloves are also size large but it took me wearing them about a month before they weren't squeezing my fingers to the point of being painful if worn for over 20 min. I didn't have the tightness problem with the Joe Rocket Gloves.

By Anonymous from Los Angeles, CA
Pros: I absolutely love these gloves. They just have some of the best protection I have seen in a ladies glove. The protection over the knuckles is great, and there is even webbing between ring finger and pinky to prevent a pinky break in a fall. The gloves also have excellent protection over the heel of the hand, which a lot of other gloves fall short on.
Cons: The gloves are a bit stiff at first, but they do break in fairly quickly. I did decide to use these for serious riding only though as there is a lot to this glove and they are a little too hard to get on and off for every day commuting to work. For canyons/track though they are perfect!
