Guys - get them they are great. I have realy shitty circulation and fingers always freeze.

I bought the size medium as they are supposed to fit snug and fingers way too short. So sold them to a friend. The Size Large is perfect - my hand is a 9.5 - meassuered their way - flat around the palm.

With respect to fit and glove ussage. I usually ride with the revit H20, size XL. They are too tight with the liner in place. So I tested using them on a 34 ambient temp day (last wekend) Wind chill was 24 degz, using a pair of REI snowboard gloves with out the fleec liner size large. They were perfect.

Get the temp regulator as I initially went on the cheap and thought I would just toggle off and on and there would be no issue. 1) pain in the ass as they heat up in seconds, 2) i litteral blistered my right ring finger knuckle... they heat up so fast -FYI and spend the 100 and get the regulator controll belt clip set up

The other issue with the temp regulator is location. I found when riding agressivly or using rear sets - so legs are abit higher up- with the temp regulator cliped to jeans pocket I would continually turn the dial hot or cold by mistake from movment and temp was all over the place. The solution is.... Clip the bealt clip the your directional wire cables on the bars on the left abover the tripple. It tucks in out of site, not on way of riding, and easily adjusted. If it rains, put a zip lock over it.

With respect to outer glove solution, the goretex style outer glove provides pleantly of room, no bunching, wind proof and H2o proof. There is no armour..... but so far great set up.

What would be the next best solution is a pair of light weight H20 proof summer riding gloves with some armour that were big enough to take the liner (mind you are probably the equiv to double thicknes of a regular REI glove linner - so pretty thin by all accounts) but had a bit of armor etc. Shift makes a pair for 45 i think. Anyone have any experiance with light weight summer H2o proof gloves?

In the mean while my hands are warm as hell - problem solved.
