I bought these gauntlets/gloves in a medium, wore them twice and realized my hands are too fat for them. I loved their protection and design, though, so I bought the exact same pair in a large.
As for protection, they are leather with reinforced palms/tops of fingers. They have hard armor on the tops of fingers and the outside base of the palm. They also have carbon fiber knuckles.
These gloves usually sell for about $150 (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...T.ac=SLIsearch), but for my stupidity, I'm looking to let them go for $70.
