The importance of the steel knuckles can't be overstated - I've already been spared from nasty scrapes a few times thanks to those. During a recent ice storm with snow followed by freezing rain, I was able to clear a path around my house by using these to punch through the ice sheet first and then using other tools to break it up further. These aren't waterproof, but they'll do in the rain. Another thing to note is that they aren't suitable for riding in the cold. I took my scooter out for a 10-mile round trip in 40-degree weather (Fahrenheit) and the parts of my hands that weren't already numb were aching so much by the end, I felt like they were going to slip from the handlebars. I'm considering investing in a winter pair since the alternative - wearing a thin pair of polar fleece gloves underneath - prevents these from working on touchscreens. Not immune to even a little bit of wind chill.
The touchscreen thing took some adjustment - as a piano and guitar player, I tend to use my tips on screens out of habit, but I had to switch to using my pads. It works quite well when I remember that. Because of the leather, they might not be as comfortable at first since they need to be broken in a bit. Not all that different from a baseball mitt. The sizing is a tad on the small side as well - my (dominant) left hand is slightly larger than my right and fell within the range for Large and my right is in between Medium and Large. I purchased a Large pair, and the right one fit immediately whereas the left one had to stretch just a little bit.
In summary, these are terrific for protection against scraping and collision and the touchscreen feature works if you're fine with using the pad of your finger. They're far more comfortable in hotter weather - 90 degrees or more - than I anticipated. The chart, which isn't here but is available on other gloves they sell, states that medium gloves are suited for a palm circumference in the 18-19 cm range, increasing by 1 cm per size. Take this with a grain of salt and consider going up a size from your actual measurement. Wear something warmer if it's colder than about 45 degrees outside.
