Construction is top notch. The gloves have been through a few hundred miles of riding and several rounds of machine wash / hang dry and show no signs of wear. I think they will be very durable.
The gel padding is mostly at the base of the fingers with a smaller, thinner pad at the heal of the hand opposite the thumb. Riding on the hoods of a road bike, the padding never touches the handle bars and serves no purpose.
The gloves end abruptly at the heel of the hand. There is no wrist coverage. This is perfect when worn with a long sleeve jersey with thumb gaiters. There may be a gap at the wrist with a normal long sleeve jersey.
The worst feature of the glove is a thin band of open stretchable mesh on the back of the hand. It cuts across the joint at the base of the index finger and leaves a red mark after every ride. Unlike the rest of the glove, this strip doesn't offer much protection from the sun or passing branches.
The gloves fit small compared to other cycling gloves such as PI. The gloves do stretch a bit with use but I would still consider buying one size larger than usual.

bright colors, excellent stitching, good materials, we must choose 2 sizes larger as they come quite small, if size M is better a size L or size XL, for example
