In size XXL, i found these to be the same sixe as XL in Alpinestars GP PRO. The fingers may be slighlty longer in the Taichi's. The Taichi's took considerably less time to break in compared to the Alpinestars. Purchased these for a quick throw on glove with slightly less protection than the Aplinestars for around town rides. Leather was very soft and took virtually no break in. Stitching looks good and would give these gloves 2 thumbs up, especially for the price. Less protection than a full race glove, but very comfortable and decent protection for for a mid priced glove. Won't hesitate to purchase more Taichi products in the future.

Fantastic track Day glove right out of the box. Fitment is small so definitely go up one size! Leather is soft so break in period almost non existent. If I could improve these gloves I would add a finger bridge between fourth and pinky fingers. Adding some more protection to the wrist would be great as well but for the price point these gloves are amazing.

5. Excellent gloves, though some newer models may be better value

Go a size up from what the size chart indicates: If you measure a large go XL, so on and so forth.
Fit and finish of the glove is excellent, the leather has a supple and soft feel to it and the stitching feels very strong. The yellow aramid lining on the back of the hand is nice. Air flows through your fingers and helps to keep them cool when riding. As noted by other reviewers the gloves afford a tremendous amount of dexterity and once broken in wear like a well fitted golf glove.
The main drawback is the tendency of the internal seams to poke into your fingers during break in. However that will go away after taking them on and off a few times and wearing them for maybe 2-3 rides.
Overall these are very good gloves, although other gloves in this price range such as the RST Tracktech gloves are better value if you can find them in stock and may require less break in time.

6. Very pleased, much better than expected!

Coming over from Alpinestars celer gloves that finally have too many holes in them to be safe, I wanted a full gauntlet glove. My main concern with these gloves was that the flappy protector pieces would be bulky and get in the way. That's not the case at all, the glove is sleek and very very comfortable.

I ordered an XL and all fingers are perfect except the pinky and thumb where it's about 1/8" long for me, which doesn't bug me. It took zero break in. My A* celer gloves were a L and took almost a month to break in.

Overall, very very very happy with these gloves. Sub $200 for these is a steal.

7. Pretty bad a** gloves

Like the video says definitely go 1 size up. Fit is spot on minus the pinky being just a tad too long for my fingers (this is pretty much all gloves for me) and hangs up on the clutch while downshifting. Just folded the tip over and used some blue painters tape to hold it. Perfect now. Love them

8. great mid-level race gloves

These feel like high quality gloves, with medium to high protection level. At this price point, I they seem a good deal.
I wear XL in Rev'It, Astars, Cortech. XL on these is a bit tighter, which I like. They hug the hand and fingers just right.
The feel on the controls is accurate, and the palm leather is super soft.

Nice glove except for the longish thumbs, some pokey inner seams and lack of protection on the pinky finger and outside of the hand. Overpriced at $180, should be $150 max...the Fieldsheer Race-Pro glove is better made and offers more protection at $50 less.
