Sizing Information
The extra layers of insulation in these gloves make them slightly tighter than you might be used to. If you are between sizes I would recommend that you go up a size.

Our Two Cents
The WR-V is a great option for a textile, insulated, waterproof glove. If you are going to use your gloves in the rain often (be it commuting or touring), leather isn’t always the best choice as it doesn’t fair well when it repeatedly gets wet and dries out (unless you stay on top of conditioning the leather). The textile WR-V glove will stand up to plenty of abuse, and seems like it would do very well at keeping your hands warm and dry. These gloves are offered in a full gauntlet design with a triple wrist closure, so in the event of a wreck, they will stay on your hands. For protection the palm and side of the pinky are reinforced with a flexible polyurethane. The knuckles do not get a molded protector, but there is some thick foam padding which should get the job done. The inner liner of these gloves is made from a very nice, soft fleece like material, and there is a Gore-Tex membrane to keep the water out. Another nice feature of these gloves is the inner liner is secured inside the glove – so they won’t turn inside out when you pull them off.
