I bought these gloves from motomail a week ago so I thought I'd post my initial impressions.

They have all the usual bits of carbon fibre and plastic protection pieces you might expect to find, and are very comfortable to wear. They have a lining and some padding on the back of your hand on the inside which helps with this. I've had to adjust my hands on the bars slightly as my old gloves (Orina) didn't have palm sliders, but they are fairly unobtrusive.

The only ventilation I can see are perforations along the sides of the fingers, but it works well and I could feel the cold breeze we've had the last few days, should be great in summer.

My old gloves were an XL, but I had to get a 2XL for these (they seem narrower) and the little fingers are a little longer than I need but it seems ok. The third and little fingers are joined by some leather which is good as my little finger always used to hang beneath the levers, the leather prevents that now.

The straps on the gauntlet area are a little odd. You can see from the picture that they are supposed to overlap, but sitting here now, I struggle to do this with nothing else on my arm, and when wearing my jacket tucked into them, they don't overlap at all. they need to be a little longer I think.

Overall, I really like them, they have heaps of padding and protection, some nice details and are very comfortable.
