Fits like a.... well, a glove !
Fantastic fit, build quality and feel. Purchased these for my daily commute gloves since some days i happen to get poured on. Can feel the levers and throttle perfectly through them. Good padding on the underside of the knuckle plate so it doesnt rub over time.

Great, but a bit hard to get on
These are amazing gloves, they fit perfectly once they're on your hand. The opening is snug, so getting your hand into them takes a bit more effort than the average glove. They are my go-to glove for my ATV adventures. To help open up the opening, I put my hand in about half way then make a fist to try to stretch it just enough so I can slip my hand into them, after few times it loosened a tiny bit.

Great product
These gloves are reasonably warm while still having a good feel on the throttle. They fit a bit tight so should have bought 2XL instead of XL.

Great gloves!
As with all Klim products these are well made, comfortable and protective. Fit size was perfect. You don't have to break them in, from the first ride they fit very comfortably. I was looking for gloves that don't go over the jacket sleeve, I prefer to wear the sleeve over the gloves, these are perfect. Great gloves and would recommend them.

Nice gloves!
These fit me great and they have been weather tested in downpours...not a drop got through.
Very comfortable, leather is reasonably thick without losing tactile feedback from the bike. No pinch or pressure spots.
These gloves are fine for fall and winter riding on the the west coast but not for long rides. Do not expect these to keep your hands warm in sub zero temperatures! I knew this going in and was not a problem.
My only "problem" was that it was a bit pricy BUT I have had them for a while now and have rode with them on many Vancouver Rain Days. They still look brand new and I ride hard in them. In this case I feel I got what I paid for and won't need to replace soon unlike my shorty summer gloves that all seem to last 1 season.
I would have also likes to see some TPU or other kind of pad/slider underneath the thumb area on the palm. Something small would have done the job. Perhaps some wrist protection too but I am being real nit picky here....they are very good gloves, period.

Great gloves. Haven't really tried yet the waterproofing of the Gore-Tex although I hit a shower a week ago. Of course they kept me dry. I'm almost
Fit is loose. I'm a medium in pretty much all the gloves I wear. I don't have beefy hands. So to me, these are the right length for the fingers (I don't have very long fingers though) and the palm fits well overall. But the fingers are loose and so is the palm which is very fine by me, I'll have plenty of room for a liner in cold weather. Also, if putting on with wet hands in the rain, I'm assuming it'll make things easier.
I've had these for a few weeks only so I can't say about durability or crash protection.
Airflow is non existent. It is not a warm weather glove with ventilation and I did not expect them to be either.
I bought those for the Gore-Tex waterproof.

Great glove, size is so off!!
These are awesome gloves, comfortable, great build, great looks, etc.............. EXCEPT!!................ Where does Klim get their sizing from??? Measured according to Klims chart, said I required a size M, right in the middle of their recommendation but though maybe I should order one size up, so ordered a large. The gloves arrived and could barely get the gloves over my palms, back they went for a size XL. New gloves arrive, not a chance, feel like I'm in a vice when put on, once again back and ordered an XXL............. Finally, a fit I could live with, whew!! Other than eventually getting the size right the gloves are great feeling and comfortable, haven't rode in the rain yet, but knowing the hoops Gortex makes manufacturers jump through to get that label I'm sure they will be awesome.

Disappointed by Klim for the first time
I bought these from F9 over a year ago, and have put about 6000km on them.
I believe that I got a miss-sewed right glove so take my review with that in mind. Most of my gear is Klim and I love it, so I have been pretty let down by these gloves.
My particular issues:
The liner of the right glove was constantly coming out whenever I took the glove off, causing a fight to get everything lined up to put the glove back on. Left Glove was fine in this regard. The Right glove also split along the seam where the thumb meets the side of the hand at the beginning of my last big trip - at about the 3000km mark. Rode for a week with gorilla tape holding things together. The gloves hadn't seen any off-road crashes or dumps, due to a pre-existing injury my bike has been a highway queen for the last year. Klim Warranty is however covering replacing them, and as great as that sounds I would rather just have a functional set of gloves as they required me to destroy them before they would send a replacement.
Normal type review stuff:
- The gloves are quite warm due to the fabric and Gore-Tex sewn-in liners, and do not flow any air. This could be good or bad depending on the weather.
- They were 100% waterproof (even with the tear in the leather)
- The cuffs are too small around, I have normal sized wrists/arms and I had to add a two sided Velcro extension so they would fit over the wrists of my Klim jacket.
- When using the two-finger method on the brake or the clutch, the levers push into the little plastic finger guards that stick out on the ring finger, causing them to dig into your fingers.
- I also found the cuffs a little shorter than I would have liked, but they are a "short" glove so that's on me.
- The "carbon like" pattern printed on the knuckle guards wore off quickly, making them look old very quickly.
- I did not crash test the gloves, but they appeared to be pretty tough.
Overall:
I expect the best from Klim, and the GTX Short Gloves definitely have not met my expectations. If they hadn't failed on me I would say they are a "just ok" glove, but at a Klim price point I expected the other little problems to not exist.
