I bought these primarily to ride motorcyles and scooters in the spring and summer. It was quite breezy and cool on my ride today and you definitely get the wind through the back material, which will be good when the weather warms a bit. Still, they managed to keep my hands pretty comfortable even with the wind pass through today. Grip and feel is excellent. Not quite enough dexterity to do the one thing I really was hoping for, however. I was hoping to be able to manipulate my helmet strap through the D rings to take my helmet on and off without removing gloves. The seamed fingertips seem to be an obstacle here. It can be done, but takes some work. Perhaps with practice it will get easier. It would be nice to not remove gloves every time I want to remove my helmet. In general though, a fairly minor complaint.

Overall, these seem to be a good deal for the price. Don't know what the long term durability will be, but they seem well made. Will give me at least one skin off layer between my hand and pavement in the unfortunate event they are ever called on for that. One concern I have is stitching longevity. I have seen several pairs of 5.11 gloves in stores (not this style) which have suffered from very poor quality control in the stitching department. When you are paying that much for a glove you don't want to buy them with the stitching already coming apart. Again, that was not evident on this pair, but it does seem to be a concern with the company's line. I guess that is what you get when you likely are paying piece work rates to people in foreign countries to produce this stuff though.
