Pros: Great fit, good protection. all around good even compared to my dainese gloves. The extra tightening strap at the wrist is awesome. My jacket is bulky and always pushes my gauntlets down, but that strap works at keeping the glove tight to my hand. External seams make it ultra comfortable.
Cons: Plastic knuckle protector is a bit bulky. Surprisingly the air intake on the knuckle does work, but only at highway speeds and at the right angle. I'd still prefer something low profile.
Thumb is a bit tight to reach back to hit turn signal; I have to loosen left hand grip to reach turn signal, glove just doesn't stretch that way...annoying.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: I have small hands (of a 5'4" build). I got small and it fits perfectly. When I sit down and nitpick theres just a weeee bit of extra fingerlength compared to my size small Icon shorties. Anyway, when I try on Alpinestars, they dig a bit on the knuckles. These Joe Rockets feel like they're already broken in.
Comments: Glad I bought em. In the end, I think they're a bit bulky for me to commute with. And although I'd prefer a latex glove slim feel for track, I can appreciate the protection. I'd use this for track.... (Read the rest of this review)
