I have now had the gloves for three summers (2011, 2012 & 2013 5,000 miles combined) and they are still working great. There has been almost no wear on them and none of the sewing has come undone. However, just recently the glue holding the rubber triangle on my left pointer finger has started to let go. This is a piece on the very end of the finger and is flexed when ever you use the clutch, so I see why after 5,000 miles it is starting to have issues. From my experience, these are very high quality gloves.
I bought a large glove and it fits great. The dimensions on my gloves are: 9 1/2in. from the middle finger to the bottom of the glove. The distance across the knuckles is 4 3/4in. I cannot speak to the dimension of the other sizes.
My only complaints are that sometimes the palm fabric can bunch up under the fingers and there is no protection for my thumbs.

Product received just as advertised. Durable, yet breathable. The added protection is comfortable, and recommended for fast-tight single trail rides.Best Deals for Fox Head Men's Bomber Glove
I purchased these based on good reviews I have seen in the past. My experience however has been rather disappointing. The gloves have seen light duty but seem to be coming apart at the seams. Lots of loose threads. The hard knuckles are seperating. The color is fading. The dye stains my hands when there is the slightest trace of moisture. I might expect these problems for a discount glove but considering the premium price they are a huge disappointment.Honest reviews on Fox Head Men's Bomber Glove
Beautiful gloves, they look great but terrible quality. After a couple of months using them They started to get ripped on the stitches by the thumb finger. Incredible since their price is high. Do not recommend at all.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Fox Head Men's Bomber Glove
First let me begin by saying that the Fox Head Bomber gloves DO look very "cool" in real life. There was _nothing_ disappointing about the style or fit of these gloves. If you just want some nice-looking gloves, and are not actually worried about getting your hands ripped up, by all means, do go ahead and order.My only problem, (and it's a major one), is about the quality of the stitching on the gloves themselves. FOX is well-known for making solid gear, but these gloves are *definitely* not up to par with their other products. The stitching that holds the leather together is of a low quality and is already beginning to come loose and fray, 4 days after I started wearing them. Some of the stitching that holds the Poly-Carb in place on the knuckles and fingers was even visibly loose upon delivery. Finally, the stitching that holds the Velcro wrist closure together is mis-stitched by almost 1/8 of an inch on the pair I received, making it very awkward to undo the strap once both gloves are on.
If I actually made serious contact with something that my knuckles needed protection from, these gloves would not be very helpful. It doesn't matter how strong the Poly-Carb over the knuckles is, because the knuckle plate will likely rip off and leave my knuckles exposed after the very first instant of contact. The stitching is simply too weak to offer any real protection.
Its like the plates of a bulletproof vest being held together with material that has the strength of a wet paper napkin. Or tank armor that's stuck on with wads of chewing gum. Or putting an airbag in a car that's made out of thin brittle glass. The protection it is "supposed" to offer is really for appearances only, and should definitely NOT be trusted.
...but hey, at least the gloves look cool.
