Pros: I feel safe in this glove. My one and only accident shredded the expensive BMW gloves. And that was only at 30 MPH. My hands didn't get scratched, so they did their job, but it is disconcerting looking down at your gloved hand and seeing hand instead of glove. These gloves are more expensive, but these are my hands we're talking about. I love the fact that I can have fat hands and have room to comfortably move my fingers without feeling a floppy glove on the end of the fingers. The precurve on these gloves is just right. With the short fingers, I can punch the code on the garage door without taking the gloves off: bonus.
Cons: I would like some padding in the palms. These are sport-touring gloves. I like to emphasize the touring. A larger size would make it possible to wear the QWI gloves inside. This would provide the best of both worlds: safety and comfort. Personally, the velcro straps on the gauntlet are pretty worthless, I never tighten the gauntlets and the velcro ruins the liner of my helmet.
Sizing Info: Other
Additional Sizing Notes: Wish there was a size 12. The 11 is just right, but not enough room for inner gloves. Fingers are just right, but liners make them too short. These are so comfortable, I forget they are on. Palm wrinkles a little bit sometimes.
