Weather here has gone from too dang cold to 70deg and wet. The gloves are awesome. My last ride started with ice on the saddle in the morning and ended with some light rain coming home much later in the day from work. Comfortable, warm and dry. The gauntlets are fairly long and have Velcro adjust ability at the cuff with a Velcro retention strap at the heel of your hand. Hard plastic knuckle protector with three mesh vents on the back or it. The palm and inner fingers are precurved and leather with a ceramic slider pad on the heel of the palm.The tops are a mix of leather and cloth with pads on the outer side of the gauntlet and tops of the fingers. Visor wipe on the index finger. Both chambers, Warm and dry with Gore-Tex liner.
I have the glove sitting in front of me as I am typing. There is a lot going on with them. They are a pleasure to pull on with the tab provided. On the bike i have been wearing them mostly with my hands in the dry chamber. That puts two layers of insulation on the top of your hands and works like a charm with heated grips. These are labeled Quattrotempi but I would rate them cool to cold gloves they where still very comfortable at 60 deg.
Have slapped myself for the knee jerk reaction to the country of manufacture. These are a well made, well thought out high quality product that are worth the extra bucks they cost. My plan is to never crash. Should it ever happen, these look like they would provide good protection. So is there a down side to these you ask. Well they pack fairly big and the cost is not insignificant. I am glad to have my pair and will have to see how they hold up with use and time.
