> 3 dayLeft hand glove fits almost perfect, right hand is unfortunately fits not that good. Ring and middle fingers are longer then it should be and the right hand knuckle isnt fits well. Also there too much material at the finger tips. Gloves are fine if you are going to use for outdoor activities but for shooting i cant say the same thing. I cant feel as one with my weapon while wearing these gloves.

> 3 dayits super comfortable, its got great grip and fits great around the hand, the only issue is its not touch screen friendly. it allows your hand to breathe as well even with the leather. its great!

> 3 dayThe usual high quality of Oakley gloves is exactly what I found in the package. They (Large) fit like, well, a glove. Very well made & provide great protection.

> 3 dayThe gloves were nice, but the large was a bit loose for my tastes, so I had returned them and gotten the same gloves in Medium, which fit much better. Overall I dont really have any complaints about the gloves. They do what theyre intended to do, they do it well, and they last. The pricing reflects that, which is the only real negative I found with these gloves - other than that the touchscreen capability is there, but its not good..

> 3 dayOakley MTB Factory Pilot Gloves, Factory Pilot Gloves, SI Assault Gloves, over the years there have been three different names for the same glove which is confusing in itself. Originally the Oakley MTB Factory Pilot Gloves came out in 2003 and they were designed for mountain biking. Then they disappointedly disappeared for a while. Then Oakley slightly tweaked them and brought them back and re-marketed them as tactical gloves. My first original pair was a size Medium, then I purchased the new updated tactical model and I now fit in a size Small, identical patterning, identical fit but the sizing tag changed, once again more confusion. Good thing that Oakley now make X-Smalls, especially if you like a snug performance precision fitment. Pretty much the only difference from the 2003 MTB original model and the tactical model was that Oakley went from synthetic leather and mesh with Kevlar padding palms to full perforated goatskin leather palms, and they took out the gray thin ventilating mesh material on the sides of the fingers. I have always sworn by the Oakley Factory Pilot Gloves, loved the fit, loved the quality and you can use them for pretty much anything. They have always been 5-Star gloves, BUT as of 2019+ they now have been downgraded to 3.5-Star gloves due to Oakley, unfortunately, making a poor decision and slight redesigning and utilizing lighter weight lesser quality materials. The 2019+ model now has thinner materials throughout which are NOT going to be nearly as durable, so the gloves will NOT last as long. The Carbon Fiber knuckles are now more flat and not as ergonomic or as comfortable as the previous successful design, the perforated goatskin leather is thinner as well and so is the silicone O badge. Feel free to go read the most recent reviews and you will see the unacceptable experiences of other loyal end-users. On the new Fall 2019 model I just purchased manufactured in Vietnam, the felt foam-backed liner material underneath the finger port vents has NOT been punched out to let interior warm air flow outwards, so now finger ventilation has been compromised. And if you try to cut-out the foam liner material underneath the finger port vents you will ruin the integrity of the gloves. I turned the gloves inside-out and I was disappointed to see some areas not stitch properly or stitch at all, I havent seen a lack of craftsmanship before in all the years of wearing these gloves. The one thing I always wanted Oakley to eventually update was adding finger tabs for touchscreen devices. The 2020 Oakley Factory Pilot Gloves 2.0 version that just came out added that needed modern feature but it does not work nearly well as expected due to poor execution. Unfortunately, the 2.0 version, has a different pattern and the fingers are now a quarter-inch longer making the gloves fit poorly. The palms are of a subpar leather, also they went with a lesser quality plastic Velcro closure which will NOT last. So all in all the new 2.0 version is a completely disappointing downgrade :( So if youre happy with the standard ones you have been wearing for years stick with them! Here in 2020 I just returned the Oakley Factory Pilot Gloves 2.0 version and re-purchased my tried-and-true Oakley Factory Pilot Gloves/SI Assault Gloves, but I am NOT happy with the downgrade of the overall design and lighter weight and use of lesser quality materials :( they are not worth the $70 MSRP anymore. The Oakley Factory Pilot Gloves have now become $50-$60 gloves at best. Oakley, what happened to the higher-end SI Tactical FR Glove and SI FR Fast Rope Glove? Please bring them back, and make them more accessible to purchase. Oakley/Luxottica Designers, when something is perfect and iconic please dont mess with the successful design! From a fellow Designer, a long time loyal Oakley fan and end-user.

> 3 dayI was very disappointed in the durability of these gloves. I had the a week and the stitches round my palm calm loose. The in less than a week the finger tips had wet holes in them. Very poor quality. I was very disappointed and they are very expensive to not last 2 weeks

> 3 dayI think these are fake Im returning. The gloves were different. The right fit and felt good but the left was completely different The pinky finger was twisted and there was enough extra material in the palm you could fold it. STAY AWAY
