SinNH Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thinking of getting a pair online. Anyone know if they are true sizing? The BMW Alantis 3 gloves look interesting too. Link to comment
RichRS Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I found they run on the tight side. When I bought mine, it was at a dealer and I'm glad I did. Of the 3 pairs, the same size, one pair I couldn't get my right hand into at all, the second was very tight, the third was just about right. It was snug getting on, but after wearing a couple months formed to fit me perfect. I know my right hand is slightly larger than my left, but I was surprised at the differences in the pairs. btw, I love the gloves. They work great, even in the Texas summer heat. Link to comment
Shaolin Master Sergeant Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have a pair. Think German summer. I find them to get a bit warm above 85. That's when I switch to perforated Vanson engineer gloves. I do wear the BMW gloves down to the low 50s with heated grips on low. Link to comment
SinNH Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks for the replies. Rich, from your reply, the variation of the same size smells of a product made in China, I would hope not for the price. I would hate to think that 98% of the dollars is for the BMW logo, not quality. Link to comment
marc11 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Funny timing this thread, I am considering getting these for use on those warm summer days when I am caught in the rain. How well do they perform in the rain? I know they are gortex, but sometimes even products with gortex have issues. For the real dry heat I have a pair of Held Air Stream gloves, so I just need something waterproof as much as possible. Link to comment
Shaolin Master Sergeant Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 My hands felt a little damp (but not wet) after all day rain but the gloves didn't leak. I ride a K1600GTL so I'm not so exposed to the elements as others. Link to comment
enfoman Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Wear mine for mostly all of the riding season. good for avg. or light rain. Clams right up in anything heavier for me. (can't really tolerate a clammy hand) I found the sizes also run tight. Should really try before you buy. Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I have a pair. Think German summer. I find them to get a bit warm above 85. Same thing I found. Not good for Southern Va., moist summer type heat. Link to comment
