I have no experience with expensive gloves to compare, but it seems like you get what you pay for. Definitely, you should get a larger size than you estimate, I wouldn't call them summer gloves but rather spring gloves because I didn't feel any ventilation. Also, they tired me out (especially on the index finger and between the thumb and index finger where they hug) during long drives, as the many seams between multiple materials create more of a problem than a benefit. Perhaps a simple leather glove with holes would have been much more comfortable. For scooters and short trips, they are fine
