ILM Alloy Steel Touchscreen Bicycle Motorcycle Motorbike Powersports Racing Glove

Updated after a season of riding. 4-13-19I waited to give these a review until I went a whole riding season with them. Now almost a year after ordering them they are holding up fine. These are wonderful everyday riding gloves. I got the red and black full length normal riding gloves in Large. The comfort is spot on for my hand size. Not too baggy and goes just past my palm for a snug fit.The gloves work well on the hotter days of 80ºf + temperatures.At higher speeds they allow for plenty of air flow to your hands so they don't end up getting all sweaty and compromising your ride. The rubber on the finger tips is also great for wiping bugs off of your visor. I would only where them down to about 60ºf though. Because of the air flow that is allowed through these gloves they are not meant for colder riding. With that being said though, they also make a winter version which I have not tried out. So no marks off because of that.These gloves feel like they could be used for multiple activities not just motorcycle riding. Normal work gloves, yard work gloves, moving gloves, etc. These gloves have the all around protection to keep your hands safe no matter what the task. I am currently buying a second pair for the Fiance for when she starts riding. A different color of course, but I doubt that would compromise the integrity of this product.

I purchased the leather gloves so it’s going to be stiffer and might take a bit longer to break in. The metal knuckles are a great looking aspect of the gloves, it looks intimidating and stands out. The fit is a bit snug in which I don’t mind since I like wearing tighter gloves. So if you like a looser fit, just choose a size up. Great leather quality and thickness at a great price. Touchscreen works good but only on both index fingers.

In true human style I tend to review those products that let me down the most. These are not one of those products. When I first got them I had the knee jerk reaction to send them back as the stitching in the fingertips seemed uncomfortable and irritating. I decided to "ride it out" as it were, and for a while it did bother me somewhat. It didn't cause pain or soreness, just a mild irritation for a few days. I will say that after a while they broke in nicely and seem to be properly durable. I have been wearing them exclusively for almost 5 months now and they look as good as new. I haven't had occasion to test out there suitability for a crash and hope that I never have the opportunity. But I think they would be more than adequate. Aside from the initial discomfort they have been very good gloves. If I need another pair I wouldn't hesitate to buy these again.

Works good fit is a bit on tighter side but they will stretch no complaints would buy again used for about a month before this review so far holding up well

The importance of the steel knuckles can't be overstated - I've already been spared from nasty scrapes a few times thanks to those. During a recent ice storm with snow followed by freezing rain, I was able to clear a path around my house by using these to punch through the ice sheet first and then using other tools to break it up further. These aren't waterproof, but they'll do in the rain. Another thing to note is that they aren't suitable for riding in the cold. I took my scooter out for a 10-mile round trip in 40-degree weather (Fahrenheit) and the parts of my hands that weren't already numb were aching so much by the end, I felt like they were going to slip from the handlebars. I'm considering investing in a winter pair since the alternative - wearing a thin pair of polar fleece gloves underneath - prevents these from working on touchscreens. Not immune to even a little bit of wind chill.The touchscreen thing took some adjustment - as a piano and guitar player, I tend to use my tips on screens out of habit, but I had to switch to using my pads. It works quite well when I remember that. Because of the leather, they might not be as comfortable at first since they need to be broken in a bit. Not all that different from a baseball mitt. The sizing is a tad on the small side as well - my (dominant) left hand is slightly larger than my right and fell within the range for Large and my right is in between Medium and Large. I purchased a Large pair, and the right one fit immediately whereas the left one had to stretch just a little bit.In summary, these are terrific for protection against scraping and collision and the touchscreen feature works if you're fine with using the pad of your finger. They're far more comfortable in hotter weather - 90 degrees or more - than I anticipated. The chart, which isn't here but is available on other gloves they sell, states that medium gloves are suited for a palm circumference in the 18-19 cm range, increasing by 1 cm per size. Take this with a grain of salt and consider going up a size from your actual measurement. Wear something warmer if it's colder than about 45 degrees outside.

I bought the cloth gloves. They have a great looking style but they are too thin for safety.I bought an XL and they fit as any regular XL would fit. But they're too thin for my liking. In the event of actually needing these in a spill, the gloves are so thin that they'll deteriorate on impact and the craftsmanship of the seams don't feel sturdy. If you have a loose thread, the whole glove will probably fall apart at the seams.The finger tip for touch screens work perfectly. Probably one of the best I've tried for gloves that offer that feature.I would recommend these if you're looking for a good cheap pair of summer gloves but they're just too thin. I've had gardening gloves that were thicker. They're just slightly thicker than a rubber glove. It wouldn't offer very much palm protection in my opinion. The knuckle protection is good though.I opened it the package, tried it on, felt comfortable but the palm protection isn't to my liking. I will be making a return.
