Love my new summer gloves, they are very comfortable with air flow. To be honest, the air flow isn't as much as I thought it would be, but it is enough. I can definitely feel flow through the backs my fingers, even with the finger shields. The knuckle shield, seems to shield the air flow to the back of my hand when holding the bars in a normal position. But enough air is coming up from my fingers and into the gloves to keep my hands much cooler on very hot days. The material is soft and supple, the fingers are very flexible, even with the protection on them. The knuckle shield is as you would want, rock hard. At first, I thought I had purchased too large a size, very difficult with motorcycle cloths, they seem to come up small? So, I ordered 2XL, but once wrapped around the handle bar grips they are a perfect fit, but not tight and I guess allow air flow though as the are not skin tight. I'm very pleased with my purchase. As always, the service and price from Sportsbikeshop is excellent, shipping lightening fast. Many thanks.
