Pretty good gloves 
2007-10-29
Although I am a woman, I bought these gloves in L as I have very long fingers. They are extremely comfortable for riding, and I'm happy with them except that the velcro doesn't close small enough as I have small wrists.
Decent gloves with bad closure strap 
2007-01-03
When I lost the motorcycle gloves I have had for over a year (along with a great leather jacket, at San Francisco Airport - D'Oh!) I needed a replacement pair. I knew and thought highly of the Bell Motorsports name and so thought their gloves should be pretty good.
Alas, I was in for a bit of disappointment. While the gloves per se are fine - the leather is soft enough, the gloves offer good protection, etc., the velcro closure at each wrist is just poorly designed. Specifically, the leather strip sewn at the wrist is a little too short, just enough so that when I put the glove on my hand the wrist expands to the point where the leather strip falls out of the metal D ring through which it must pass to fold over and "latch" to itself. This becomes quite annoying, particularly when donning the second glove, as at that point I must use my already-gloved hand to fumble with the leather strap and insert it into the D ring.
The frustrating thing is if the manufacturer had simply made these leather strips all of 1/2 an inch longer, the problem would likely not exist. Seems to me to have been a design decision that's "penny wise" (save a tiny length of leather) and "pound foolish" (aggravate the customer, this one at least, to never purchase a Bell product again).
