  1. I have just received these gloves a few days ago myself. Fit and finish I have no complaints. Comparing with my regular pair of motorcycle gloves the Biker scout gloves are made with about the same thickness leather and have thicker insulation. I have been wearing them in the evenings on my motorcycle and I would have no problems wearing these regularly in fall and early winter temps. I will probably keep them as is until I start trooping and find the lining to be too hot. Overall I would mark these gloves a good value as my motorcycle gloves were 15-20$ more with the only difference being that my motorcycle gloves have knuckle armor and aren't full gauntlet meaning less leather. As for sizing, the wampa wear site has a sizing chart. My hand measures 8" using the tape measure method pulled tight which is a size S. But the graphic sizing chart they have places me at a size M. I went with a size M and the fit is perfect. Carl, I would check the sizing chart on their website and go with the larger of the two methods. Even if it were a little tight, the leather will break in and you would probably end up removing the lining anyway due to heat issues.
  2. I can't really speak for accuracy of the boot as I am completely new and still working on getting my own armor put together. My personal opinion is that for a WIP they look pretty good. And as a motorcycle rider I would appreciate a steel toe boot for more positive shifting engagement on my motorcycle. And yes, I do plan at least a few trips around town in full Biker Scout armor (with White Icon Variant DOT approved helmet with dark smoke lens of course... Safety first kids!) One thing I will be able to add though, since I have been reading up on all the forum topics, is that there are 3D scans of the Sierra boot soles floating around due to an effort to have replica original boots made. The discussion can be found here: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=9177&st=20 Good luck on getting these into screen accurate shape!
