Good glove without palm protection.

Sliding slowly around the corner, the glove actually burned a hole in the textile in the palm healing area where the skin ends and the textile begins. A coin-sized piece of leather is missing from under my arm. :-(The gloves appear to be made and stitched from high quality leather, but the design needs to be changed, either by adding leather all the way down or adding abrasion protection on the thumb side of the glove as well as the palm side for me to date buy or recommend Hey ApineStars…

Pros
  • Premium full leather base and mesh chassis construction plus strategic perforations and air mesh for enhanced breathability.
Cons
  • High Price

Impressive Protective Gloves

I used to have a pair of perforated leather ICON Pursuit gloves. They were ok but I was sizes "between" LG and XL and had trouble with the stitching on the inside. I ordered them using the size chart (LG) and they fit perfectly as my fingers barely touch the ends of the glove. Comfortable with everything but not tight. So far the build quality seems good and the styling is amazing. Especially the carbon fiber joint protector. My only minor gripe is that despite my small wrists (6.5" diameter)…

Pros
  • Stretch zone on fingers and back of hand for more comfort and freedom of movement.
Cons
  • thin

Good but not great, light, almost comfortable

They work with touchscreens, but like many touchscreen gloves, they're a bit random. You'll find yourself touching small icons gently or multiple times, or swearing and hitting the back button, but at least you don't have to take off your gloves, which is pretty darn awesome. I wear size L and they fit me perfectly. measure up. They are very breathable and generally very comfortable to wear in warm weather. However, the seams are not that good. Every time I ride in these gloves I get seam marks

Pros
  • Synthetic suede zones and reinforcements on the sides for durability, extra abrasion resistance and comfort.
Cons
  • Some bugs
