Excellent Fit and slider
It was important to me to get a set of gloves with a slider on the palm. If you go down, you can use your hands a bit. A full leather palm will stick and flip your wrist. This is soft leather too, like my fiancés 'overpriced purses' soft...lots of armor too. I had to buy a 2nd pair for cold weather but that isn't what these are for...

Awesome gloves
I bought these gloves before going on a road trip to Vancouver and I wore them anytime it wasn't raining. They are the same size chart as Alpinestars, I ordered size XL and they broke in perfectly in approximately 2 - 3 weeks of consistent riding.
They are comfortable, provide solid knuckle protection, good palm protection, and I can still feel engine revs through the handlebar grips. These gloves provide sufficient weather protection and insulation until about +15°C.
I unstitched the velcro as I prefer easier fitment and removal of gloves, just my own personal preference.

Good glove, fits small
Good glove, good quality. Feels good on the hand. I usually wear a L, occasionally I need an XL, so I ordered XL as motorcycle gear tends to fit small. Glad I did, b/c these XL are tight. Not uncomfortably so, but have to wriggle into them for sure.

Good for the sale price
Runs a tad short in size but fits. Light. Armor in knuckles and palm is stiff, so not soft to touch like D3O. Broke it in and is now comfier.

Was recommended these by a local shop (they ran out of the color I had unfortunately). Tried on a pair of the White/Orange and they fit like a dream. Super comfortable and (for me) fit like a glove literally. No pressure points, no weird marks from too tight a fit. Awesome for cool (10C) to hot weather and air flow is pretty good. Knuckle TPU feels substantial as does the scapula slider. The leather tongue on the front is pretty useful for pulling the gloves on as well.

Great summer glove
This is the second pair of these gloves I have owned. The first pair tore around the cuff. I had two full riding seasons with them so we’re close to needing replacement.

Questions
I love mine but they need a wash. How should I do that?
Here’s what works for me. Found this on the web.
Held Glove Care
Here is a discussion about how to care for your Held gloves. This information was provided by the folks that distribute Held gloves in the USA:
When you ride, all of the sweat, along with the oils, acids and salts contained in your sweat will soak into the leather. After a while this built up sweat contamination may cause the leather to fail prematurely. You should wash your gloves with soap and water to remove this sweat build up.
After riding, let your gloves breathe and dry out. Do not store them in a closed container, jacket pocket, helmet or tank bag.
Held recommends washing and conditioning gloves at least once a year. And more often if you sweat heavy, ride in a hot climate, notice salt rings (white stains) or discoloration from repeatedly being soaked with sweat, if the leather gets hard or stiff, or if you begin to notice a smell from the gloves.
And here is how to do it!
Rinse the gloves with clean water (do not use high pressure). You may also soak the gloves for awhile in clear water to loosen up and draw the sweat out of the gloves.
Wash the inside of the gloves with soap and water. Dilute soap in the water; do not apply soap concentrate directly into gloves. Regular antibacterial liquid hand soap works well. Allow the gloves to soak in the soapy water.
Using your hands, work the inside surfaces of the gloves. Rinse and repeat as needed until you are satisfied that the gloves are clean. Rinse the gloves thoroughly.
Use your fingers and hands, starting at the finger tips and working down, press or squeeze the water out of the gloves. Do not twist or wring the gloves when wet; this may distort the shape and fit of the gloves.
For gloves with DuPont® Kevlar® or padding, you may want to place a small folded towel in the gloves and press the water out of those areas.
Allow the gloves to dry slowly. Do not place in direct sunlight or expose to high heat. Lying in front of a fan in the garage is a good place.
Just before the gloves are completely dry, put the gloves on and shape them to your hand while damp. Remove the gloves, trying to keep this hand shape in the gloves. Allow to continue drying.
After the gloves are completely dry, apply a good quality leather conditioner. This is important because properly treated and conditioned (oiled) leather will breathe and the internal micro fibers will move freely in the leather. Use a good quality leather conditioner that will allow the leather to breathe. Apply conditioner generously and rub into the leather. Allow the conditioner to soak into the gloves and reapply (you can do this in the sun).
Wipe off any excess conditioner and make sure the gloves are not slick on the motorcycle controls.

Do Five gloves fit true to size? I have found that a lot of gloves mark me as a small but medium fits perfectly. Haven't tried on a pair from the company before so looking for some guidance.
Bought large and fits perfectly,, still have them and really like them. I have heated handles so I don’t use the one for cold weather anymore
