Hands would get plenty sweaty in these gloves,( if a silk or other type of liner is not used), making the gloves hard to get on or off. Overall they may do the job for $29. I passed on it.
You got it almost spot on!
I ended up biting the bullet and purchased them because I wanted a gauntlet style glove, but over all, they aren't bad.
There is no ventilation on these gloves but my hands felt cool the whole time I rode in them today.
They seem to run a size small, I'm usually a medium and the large fit me alot better.
I doubt they will last after a fall, (The leather used feels pretty thin).
I'll post later on when I've had a chance to break em in.
