Strengths:    Great finger lengths and the stitching is straight along the seams(RARE for any gloves). Knuckles are nicely paded and streachy with almost a Neoprene feel from the Lorica material they use. The Lorica material for the first few months are nearly waterproof. Palms are built to last. Better than most on the market. Good for fall seasons and maybe some mild winters. Velcro is secure yet not toooo tough on your glove fingers. Great fit.

Weaknesses:    Not vented enough which makes them pretty spicy in the summer months which turns to stink hands. Onced washed they seem to stretch a bit so keep this in mind when trying them on at the shop but the Velcro keeps it's strength to balance it out.

Bottom Line:   
Could use a bit more padding in the palms but I am picking here. A bit warm for full finger gloves due to the Lorica material on the top of the glove. We have all thought we found the perfect glove to find them rip, fall apart, or just out right suck. Pick these up and you may finaly get your money's worth for a pair of gloves. I have been so pleased with them I picked up a second pair
