For those of you who have the above gloves, how do you wear them? Over your jacket cuff or under the cuff?
I like to wear my gauntlet type gloves on the outside of my jackets unless it is really hot, then I switch to a smaller perforated leather glove under the cuff.
I tried all three on this week. The Helds just barely fit over and end up not fitting right. They are also bulky to fit under. The Atlantis is only a little better. When I tried the Atlantis with the a Santiago Jacket it was even worse as that nice jacket has large cuffs.

I wear gauntlet gloves (e.g., Alpine Stars GP PLus, Held Steves, Icon Bling) over the sleeve unless it is raining.
Keep in mind that high quality kangaroo leather/Pittard's leather gloves like Held's will stretch without losing their form. As they stretch, it will become easier to wear them and they will fit over the jacket with less effort. If gloves fit perfectly to begin with, they are too big.

My Held Profis fit both ways with a Stitch -- very handily, I might add. :)

I have no problem getting gauntlet of my Steve's over the cuffs of my First Gear Mesh Tex.

Guess I should clarify a little.. they go over my teknic aquavent mesh jacket but not the Belstaff Merlin.. which is more like an Olympia AST,Gerbing Cascade,Revit Cayenne etc etc.. (larger thicker 3/4 length jackets.)

Profi's and Steves over the cuffs of my aerostich, kilimanjaro, and mesh jackets. If raining inside, of course ( but I now wear chemical hazmat rubber over-gloves if it's raining...even then, they go inside the cuffs).
Profi's are a little harder to arm wrestle over the cuffs. On a recent 5,000 mile trip I was off the bike every 1.5 - 2.0 hours, so I eventually mailed the Profi's home and kept the Steves because they were much easier to slip over the cuffs so often.
