First off, I purchased these mostly for work with a sander, router, and other tools that can generate painful vibrations. They have worked fine in my few weeks of use, appearing very sturdy, with thick leather, more than ample gel padding (a good thing), and solid stitching. Thus far I have only used them when sanding drywall and they have impressed me with their dampening of the vibration. They don't eliminate it entirely, but they do what they claim to do, extending the time I can work. I still get some pain, but it is night and day difference, really. That they are open fingered gives one the dexterity lacking in full finger gloves.
I like them so much I am thinking of using them for cycling gloves to replace a pair of well worn, old Sorbothane cycling gloves. Perhaps too much padding, but I will try to report back after some use.
Just know that they are slightly undersized, with the large pair a somewhat tight fit for my large size hands. Nothing excessive, really, just a little snug and not too tight to make me return them for the larger size (if available). I have updated (25 October) my review to note that the leather has stretched with use to fit fine now, so smaller may be better in this regard. They seem to include extensions of the leather palms on the two middle fingers for removing the gloves from the hands, a nice touch.
Definitely recommended.
Follow up from a few years of use bicycling, June 2017. These are the best cycling gloves I have yet to find, other than the old Sorbothane gloves from 20-30 years ago. Unfortunately the Sorbothane gloves are no longer made, so I have gone through multiple gel, non-gel, and even unpadded bicycle gloves. Some pricey ones and the gel either quickly wears to nothing, or is not in the right places to prevent numbing. The Superior gloves are thickly padded, much more so than normal bicycle gloves. The padding covers the palms nearly completely throughout the tough goatskin. The stitching is solid, and the back, while not sweat absorbing, breathes well. I have hand washed them using dish soap, followed by Obenauf's leather treatment (also highly recommended), as they tend to reek after my near daily 40 mile round trip commute, much like all gloves.
Only minor thing with bicycling is that they are still a little tight initially, and tend to cause pain in the webs of my fingers. A few days of use and they stretch out to comfort, much like a Brooks saddle.
I will buy no other gloves, they are that good.
Update from October 2019:
Still using my original pair along with several more pairs I rotate through on a daily basis. Since I use them for daily bicycle commuting, they tend to get a bit odiferous rather quickly, thus the rotation. The original pair still work as designed, albeit with the thinning of the padding. Just enough that I can feel some reduction in dampening, but not enough to toss them just yet.
I cut the Velcro portion off of each glove since I found it to catch on things and it makes it easier to take the gloves off.
I have resorted to machine washing on delicate cycle with warm water, along with my usual cycling garb. Warm water seems to help with odor removal for both gloves and clothing, ignoring the clothing manufacturer recommendations of cold water. Then I set them outside to dry in the sun for 1-2 days. I have applied Obenauf's leather treatment about twice to each glove and they still come through the wash soft, not at all stiff. Something to the goatskin?
Still highly recommended but still suggest ordering up a size.

trust the goats...
i wasn't sure if Goatskin was going to be a great choice or not, but i really prefer working with my fingers, so i went for it... the pictures are showing the result of about 3 months of pretty brutal use, but it's clear it stopped alot of nails and damage to my palms, so kudos, and i have now purchased another pair.

SIGNIFICANTLY reduced shock and tendonitis from dinging rock cap and planting in hard clay.
Would highly recommend for other planters and will order again.
