I have them but have not used yet but will soon. I am a slender muscular guy, 5' 9" and a little longer than normal arms and the Velcro strap needs to be able to attach further over the upper hand than it does, I've always had small wrists even in the military, the Velcro may well not fasten down far enough to keep colder air out and the gloves fit snug so I will not be able to wear an inner liner for more warmth. So what do you do when a winter glove is not quite what you need that you bought? You obviously have to buy a better one, cow hide is not the best at all for jackets or pants or gloves, elk or deer is far better and provides far better protection and is also far more expensive.

I use these inside of my Joe Rocket snow mobile gauntlet gloves for cold weather bike riding. With my thermo suit and these glove liners I ride down to 15 degrees. Usually I only have the controller on 2 out of 5 settings. No problem ever with cold fingers. I do not like to park the bike all winter just because of cold weather. So here in N.C. Ky I ride the year around thanks to the glove liners. The last pair of liners similiar to these lasted 4 years.

I had a mix up on the original order where I had received the wrong size. LeatherUp quickly processed me a return order and a few days later I received the correct size. By the way, I have large hands and the XL fit on these gloves is true to size. Hawaii is a warm climate and we don't typically buy insulated gloves but, I got all bonuses with these gloves. They are lightweight quality leather, cool/not hot, and comfortable. I got them just in time for Veterans Day and with the POW/MIA embro, I can show pride and honor those who've served. For you guys that access the military facilities there is a zipper pocket at the gauntlet for your ID card. No more stopping at the gate to remove your gloves or fiddle with your wallet while holding up traffic anymore for me. Thanks LeatherUp, Oorah!

This is my second Xelement jacket. The first has been with me for 10 years and thousands of miles and is still holding up quite well. My only reason for the new jacket is, well, I've gotten a bit thicker around the middle and the old one no longer fits.
On that note, I'll speak on sizing. Xelement jackets do run a bit small. When I purchased the first my typical jacket size was large and due to other reviews I bought an XL and it fit perfectly at the time. Now my typical jacket size is XL and I bought a 2XL and like before it fits perfectly. I am 6' and 230 pounds with as I said a bit more of my weight around the middle.
As I said the jacket is great, only two things I would change one is the location of the power button, which is on the chest. It is nearly impossible to see the button with a full face helmet on. The second is that there does not seem to be any heat in the sleeves.
One other note is that it will put out more heat when plugged in to the bike battery than it does when plugged in to the optional separately purchased pocket battery. I rode at 50 degrees f using the battery and was very comfortable. Yesterday I rode at 38 degrees and figured it may be better plugged in to the bike and I was very comfortable.
I highly recommend this jacket to anyone looking for a heated motorcycle jacket.
