This would have been a five-star review except for a seam split between the thumb and forefinger on my right hand glove. This happened a couple of weeks after buying the gloves. I repaired it with a sewing needle and some dental floss and other than the look of my crappy stitching job, the gloves are great. They work well with the touch screen of my phone and are not overly padded, which I like.

Pretty comfy, holding up well. They are hard to put on given there is not strap or pull tan.

I usually get size M and sometimes L (depending on the brand) for my mountain bike gloves... After reading some reviews, I went for the L size and it was a good decision as fingers on this Dakine are a little bit snug. They are comfortable on the palm (gel padding) and help to prevent blisters. The downside is that you can feel (significantly more than other brands like Fox, Handup, Troy Lee ) the inseams inside the fingers... After 4 rides and washes that inseam feeling improved (I think). They are breathable, decent grip and seems well made. They look cool tough. I cannot say anything yet about their durability but I hope they last without having openings on the inseams.

Consider sizing up one side. Very grippy!

Gloves work great. Digging the new non Velcro styles these day's. I always like Dakine's designs.
