As good as it gets?
The main thing these gloves are supposed to be good at it is dexterity and feel at the controls, and they deliver in spades: kangaroo leather is worlds apart from cow. Aside from the hard palm slider they feel more like a pair of thin work gloves than normal motorbike gloves, so that's great. I also assume they are extremely protective but have yet to test that out.
Further praise is that the stretch kevlar used for most of the back actually lets some air through as opposed to a fully leather glove. I've only worn these in the cold so I can't say just how much that helps in warm weather but it's nice none the less.
Now for the bad. First off these gloves are orange. It says "fluorescent red" but but it is in fact orange, no two ways about it. There's nothing wrong with orange, but there is when you're trying to but red gloves.
Next up is that they run a wee bit larger than my other A* gloves, the SP8 v2, so be aware of that as well.
To end on a high note that new knuckle protector looks the absolute business!
