Bought a pair of these last month to replace some race leather Alpinestars ones I use for the summer. I paid 80Euro or so, around $100, and for that price was a little dubious about how they would do;

I just got back from a weekend away, and am happy to report that even in the *worst* weather I have ever ridden in - driving rain, rivers of water running across the road, 40+mph crosswinds - they performed very well indeed!
NO water ingress at all. After 2 hours in torrential rain, my hands were as dry as when they started.
At speeds in excess of 80mph I could feel some wind chill on my fingers, but I was surprised at how little, and only after an hour or so did my hands feel anything other than totally warm and toasty!
Stitching quality, and quality of the materials is second to none.
Fit is ok, and I suspect would be fine for most riders. You can adjust the wrist support with 2 velcro fasteners, and when put on ride, they are as comfortable as any glove I have had before, and let in no water all around the wrist.
All in all, I am *very* happy with the purchase, and could recommend them totally!
