I bought two pair of these gloves for my son and I to use while riding our dirt bikes. They are very comfortable and very durable, but they are not big and bulky. You can definitely use these for riding your mountain bike! Awesome gloves and I would highly recommend them.

I bought the gloves just for dh and all mountain riding.I love it. For motorcycle,It's kind of thin.By the way it feels a size smaller than it should be.You may have to order next size bigger.

Hey bro!Look, Thor gloves are for mountain bike training. If you want to but gloves for motorcycle you should go to specialized shops. I hope my answer will help you. Best regards. Allan

I personally bought them for mountain biking, they are light, breathable and have good knuckle protection. They do run a bit small so I recommend get them one size up; enjoy the ride.

Giro lists them as mens' gloves on their homepage. Anyway, Giro has very accurate sizing guides with inch/centimeter specifications for both genders. So, you should be able to figure out whether any of the mens' sizes will fit your hands (I hope the links are not deleted by Amazon...): http://www.giro.com/giro/fitguide/gloves/men_glove_fitguide.pdf http://www.giro.com/giro/fitguide/gloves/women_glove_fitguide.pdf Their guides were very accurate in my experience. Btw: I really like these gloves. Good quality. The pads are positioned properly and will prevent numb hands.

Poorly. That's what I bought them for. Mountain bikes are too heavy especially a downhill bike. They fall over easily. Good for a light road bike or kid's bike.

Yes! As a former airplane owner that did his own maintenance, IMHO these gloves are just right for the mechanical aspect of any airplane. Working on the electronics might require surgical type exam gloves. By mechanical aspect I mean engine, prop, wheel/tire, brakes, control surfaces, etc.. I also found that they were fantastic for riding offroad motorcycles and ATVs. ..................Green Mohave Cholla

They come with very cheap plastic gloves. Probably adequate for a couple uses. I just kept my leather driving gloves on, no problem.

I use the gloves to put wood into my stove and they protect me from the flames. However, I would never use them to pick up burning wood. That's what metal fire tools are for. With long enough exposure to high heat, leather will burn and the heat will penetrate to your hand.

Living in S Fla and using them as a substitute for riding gloves (good ones cost more) I can only say they've been comfortable when I take my VTX out for 2-3 hrs.. There is a thin inner liner so it's not skin to leather. Well see how it is this summer.

They are great for riding a "mountain bike" on pavement. Nice and smooth and quiet. They are very light and thin though, so off road use should be limited to well groomed trails. Rocks, thorns, or any other sharp terrain would be a killer.

These gloves are connected to my motorcycle battery through the use of a cable that I purchased seperate. Not sure of any other way they can be powered.Firstgear Dual Portable Heat-Troller - Black I copied/pasted the link so you can see what I purchased to power the gloves seperately from jacket liner. I bought a dual controller so I could turn gloves down when hands got hot and could keep jacket on a higher setting. Looking at photo on link, to the right, you will see the circle connectors that connect to battery. Hope this helps.

Yes they will work for a bike! I used them on my snowmobile handle bars but it showed a lot of jerking motion / vibrating in the recording but on a bike it should be fine but don't know about on a bike if you are jumping or going over a bumpy path

I ordered mine for riding my motorcycle, and I'm going to say they do run true to size. I have thick fingers, so I wanted to make sure they weren't pinched. The finger may end up a little longer, but that's the way it goes. I would agree with LeRox's answer, regarding going one size down if you need to be able to pick up parts without taking the gloves off. Just decide what you're going to use them for the most & go by that.

The gloves are unisex...you need to go onto Outdoor Research's web page and use the sizing chart they offer...once you measure what they tell you, check the sizing chart and your fit will be perfect...if you've ever burned your hands while out 'n about, these will save you from repeating that...I now have 3 pairs...I always carry one spare pair for the "what~if's"...they are so comfortable that I forget I have them on after my hike...use OR's web sizing chart...

No. In fact, you may find your hands are cold and uncomfortable. These are not riding gloves.

I think they do. Im a Medium in motorcycle gloves and weight lifting gloves and was also a Medium with these. If you think your in-between sizes, you definately want to get the smaller of the two sizes so that its easier to pickup small parts while wearing them.

My father uses them on his KLR 650. It took a while to figure-out how to attach the straps to the motorcycle but they are waterproof and appear to work. I will know more later after the winter freeze when I can test them out properly in the Northeast.
