Just picked up a pair of these gloves this weekend and absolutely love them! They fit great. Better than anything else in the shop. Wore them all weekend and just got back from a solid 4 hour ride. Hands didnt sweat at all in them. They have good ventilation and even when I got up into the colder elevations they still kept my hands warm as well. I also didnt need to grip the throttle as hard to keep it open. The palm sticks good enough to allow me to not grip as hard. Well worth the price.

If they are not warm enough, try a company called NIBO

I bought a pair of gloves with Thermolite in them, and they are worth their weight in gold. No matter how cold it gets, my hands stay warm!!

Totally worth the money!!

Are this half gloves or full gauntlets? I'm looking to get me some full gauntlets soon.

The Alloy's are not gauntlet.

I bought the Fieldsheer Apex gauntlets in blue recently at closeout and am liking them so far. It has 2 straps- 1 right at the wrist and the bigger wrist band strap. The knuckles are a bit pointy but they are comfortably snug and the blue/purplish color matches Yamaha blue pretty good... My palm measures 8.25" and Medium fit me perfectly... They have good padding and my hands feel well-protected yet still my palms feel the grips fine...
