I originally bought these same gloves from sportsbike shop in November 2016,cost £69.99 , and only now needing to replace them, cost £74.99. Talk about great value. I live in Scotland and ride all year round and would recommend these gloves to anyone. They are warm, dry,comfortable and true to size.

Ok, still a little tighter than hoped. Yes they were snug but hoped they would give over time/use but not the case. Are they warm yes but I’m using heated grips/hand guards but finger tips still get cold after a while. Not 100% waterproof but yet to find a glove that is. For the price ok but wouldn’t buy again.

I've been looking for gloves that are water proof, short fingered and gloves that go over my hand for over 2 years now, i recently tried Held short fingered but couldn't get them over my hand. These go over my hand easy and almost the perfect length for my fingers.
Highly delighted.

These are good cloves, but very tight but larger size would have had my fingers reaching for the ends. Definitely don't buy if you don't try them first. But good once on.

Had these for about two years. Have never leaked. Not sure about warmth because now im older i feel the cold in my hands and feet. they are ok for me with heated grips. I need a 3xl and these fit my finger length and hand width.

Ordered these and the Richa Ghent Goretex, found the Ghent fingers too long. These Artics are perfect for me with heated grips, S1000xr, kept my hands toasty. Not tested in the wet.
Overall feel and dexterity are excellent, fore fingers works touch screen sat nav ok.

I was looking for some winter gloves that were warm but still flexible with good feel. These are excellent. Used them in temperatures of 2-3 degrees. Kept my hands warm and stopped fingers going numb.

The best gloves I've ever owned

I bought a pair of these a few years ago and they are the warmest and most comfortable of all my gloves. I own heated gloves, summer gloves and waterproof specific gloves but these are my go-to all rounders. I realised that after several years of use they were looking tired and was relieved that they still sold them and bought another pair. Like good shoes, always get another pair as you might regret it later! They are probably too warm in the summer months but would always prefer that to being cold

Ridden in temps as low as 3 or 4 degrees, fingers feel the cold pretty quickly, above 7 degrees, fine. OK in light showers, I've not used them in heavy rain. Well made, good fit and wouldn't hesitate to buy them again. Quickly shipped by Sportsbikeshop as usual.

Nice gloves, well made, and a good fit.
I have had Richa gloves before, so like the fit and quality. I take a size large in Richa, but think the sizing is on the small side.
The Arctic gloves are warm enough while still being dextrous , l do have heated grips though.
