My hands measure at 8" circumference as traditionally measured for gloves. Based on that, I should have ordered a "Large." I never trust sizing charts, especially when the goods are a Chinese brand--my experience with Asian brands on Amazon is that they ALWAYS run small. So I ordered an XL. That was the right decision. The XL fits my hands nearly spot-on. When I first tried them on, even the XL seemed a bit tight, but after mountain biking just 5 minutes, I realized the XL was a good choice.

Sizing aside, the gloves are very comfortable, well-designed, and seemingly well-made. I will absolutely update this review if they don't hold up properly. I'd also note that they are a lot more ventilated for summer riding than I expected. I've taken them out in 90 degree heat up & down mountains and just forgot I had them on. I haven't tried them yet in cold weather, but since they're so well ventilated, I suspect they won't offer much heat retention during the Winter.

Overall, I am very happy with the purchase. I own other biking gloves as well--including much more expensive Pearl Izumi gloves. Of all my mountain biking gloves, these are currently my favorite. If you're reading this and on the fence about buying a set, I think you'll be pretty happy if you get the correct size.

Update: I've been using these gloves quite a bit now and want to re-iterate how happy I am with them. It is still over 90 degrees and although I have multiple half-finger gloves, I continue to choose to wear these. These breath great and they are super comfortable. I will most likely order a 2nd set just so I can alternate. I'll never purchase an expensive, brand-name pair of cycling gloves again as long as these are available at this price.

My hand measures 9.1" and the middle finger is about 3.5" long from attachment. I bought the XL due to the circumference. They fit very nicely around but if you are 9.5" I'd recommend going with the XXL. I don't know that they would stretch and maintain warmth. The other thing is the finger length. I by no means have long fingers and the glove fingers are perfect for me. I have a problem with gloves fitting correctly. Many times and large fits my fingers correctly but are too tight around. Then the XL is better around but fingers are way too long. These gloves fit perfectly for both.

Finally, they seem to be windproof except for the material between the fingers. I haven't ridden with them yet, just out walking and I could feel the wind between the fingers. I'm sure it is there for ventilation, but I fear they may be too cold while riding.

After trying one of the "more expensive" MTB gloves made by a larger name manufacture, I located these on Amazon and bought them. I couldn't be happier! They fit GREAT, they're really breathable and they have touch screen capability. AND they were at least half the price of the other gloves that I purchased. I have another pair of ZOOKI gloves that i use on my road bike and I have no complaints with them either. I should have just went with these in the first place when shopping for gloves. Very happy with these. You will be too. ; )

Second pair of these with long fingers. I have several pair that are fingerless. These are one of my favorite brands of riding gloves, the first pair lasted about a year and the cell phone strip on the index finger came apart. I noticed that on the new ones, I was removing them by pulling on the tips so that's probably why they came apart. The rest of the glove works great still. They should put a removal strip on the backside of the index finger to grab and pull. Might last longer. I wear these between 45 and 60 degrees in the Sierra Foothills and they are perfect for me in that range of temp. My first pair were black over red, large...second pair are red over black (pictured) in XL. Doesn't seem to be a lot of difference in the sizes to me.

I purchased these with my own money, so this is genuinely in an interest to share my experience. Prior to these, I wore primarily Pearl Izumi gloves as I enjoyed the fit and overall durability. After seeing these on Amazon, I decided that for the price they were worth a try.

For warm weather riding until these, I wore half finger gloves. Because I sweat a lot, I wanted to try for finger gloves for better grip when riding ( especially mountain biking where holding on is pretty important!). These gloves have helped in that area. Worth a try if you have the same problems.

From a temperature perspective, I have worn them down to about 50°, and well into the 90° range.

Here's my experience:

Pros:
- They have held up very well. They have at least 50 rides on them (mix of road and mountain). The off-road riding involved grabbing some trees along the way, and probably a few falls as well. As the pictures show, they are really showing no noticeable wear. Nothing is frayed or ripped. I would rate them excellent for durability. I am still wearing them regularly and plan to until they no longer function.
- They do provide adequate cushioning. I would compare them to any typical gel like substance for helping to absorb vibration and reduce fatigue.
- They are warmer than a half finger gloves, but they are not intended for cold weather riding. I still have other insulated gloves that I would wear when the temperatures drop down below 45 or so. These are still quite comfortable when used for cool weather riding.
- I have had several pairs of pearl Izumi gloves where the Velcro strap has become permanently curled over time. This prevents it from grasping the Velcro properly and results in non-functional Velcro. If you have had this do you know exactly what I mean and if you haven't had it you might not. Regardless, these gloves do not suffer from this problem. After a year of use the Velcro is perfectly functional as the first day.
- The terrycloth wiping surface is quite useful on the back of the farm. Many clubs have these so it's not unique, but yet appreciated and functional.
"“ You simply can't beat the price. I was skeptical because they were so cheap, but they are an excellent value.

Cons:
- There really aren't many, but perhaps the only one who is trying to operate a touchscreen device while wearing. They do work to some extent, but it's often hard to have any accuracy with such a large touch point. I try to use them with my Garmin 820, with moderate success. My touchscreens do respond better with bare fingers. Honestly, I have not won a pair of gloves that work really well with touchscreen devices.

I noticed that the price has dropped even more since I purchased them, making them and even better value. After buying my first pair, I bought two more pairs thinking that they would probably be discontinued at sometime. With the pairs that I have, I plan to be wearing these gloves for a long time to come.

If you have found this review helpful, please mark as such and I will continue to leave more as I am able! Thanks for reading.
