Alpinestars

I love these gloves for summer riding, great fit, feel and look in typical Alpinestars fashion. That being said they do not work at all for use on your phone when the gloves are on. Not sure if it’s phone specific (I’m using an iPhone 11 Pro Max) but I have a set of Alpinestars Gauntlet style gloves (SP-8) and the touch aspect works seamlessly by comparison which leads me to believe it’s an issue with the gloves. I tried 2 sets of these gloves and the issue persisted & given many other reviews stating the same thing this seems to be a problem with this specific model of their glove as far as the touch function goes. All in all this was however not a deal breaker for me but worth being aware of in the event that’s a huge factor for you in choosing the correct riding glove.

I've been wearing these for about 6 months for ebiking. Bought them after I shredded my weaker gloves in a crash. These are reinforced in all the areas my previous gloves failed in, and they have been comfortable enough not to hinder my biking. Also, they are not too hot in warm weather. I will say that they are not quite as warm as what I was wearing in the winter, so next season I may double up somehow. After 6 months of weekly use, they are in as-good-as-new shape. I've not crashed in them yet, however.

...and away you go! These gloves are great. Sizing can be a little tough in gloves from anyone, so I can't fault sizing for being any sort of an issue. I ordered a pair, they were too large, I ordered a smaller size, they were fine.Summary Notes:Quality 10/10Fit and Finish 10/10Price 9/10 (because cheaper is always better but these were fairly priced)Alpinestar hit it out of the park as usual. I love their products and am happy with this purchase. Thinking about it yourself? Go for it! You will (probably) be happy too!!

Super comfy right out of the box. Also very comfortable to ride with. Perhaps a tad tight around the knuckles at first. Likely to get better once broken in. They’ve been perfect in 70-80 degree days. Now that it’s heating up I’ll see how comfortable they are. They are also well made. So far, I love them.

These are great. Fit a bit snug at first but as they break in the leather will stretch a bit for a really comfortable fit. They are solidly made and the knuckle protection is great. Thick palm but not so thick that they inhibit movement or comfort. I feel like my hands will be protected when the inevitable crash happens.

These may be the most uncomfortable gloves I have ever purchased. They are unlined and the inside of them, especially in multiple knuckles of each hand, feels like sand paper and is rubbing my knuckles raw. Let alone that but the ordered 2xl barely fits even though my old SMX air gloves (without carbon knuckles, which are uncomfortable as well) are the same size. It seems that their over all quality or quality control has tanked. Sadly I'm stuck with them, due to a multitude of reasons I was unable to even try them on until a couple days after the return window closed. I contacted the seller and never got any response, Alpinestars never responded and since they weren't sold by Amazon directly they don't care. I thought that buying the carbon version of my old gloves would be an upgrade, I should have saved the extra $30 or so and just bought another of my old pair. Don't make my mistake, or if you do be sure to try them on sooner than later!

I've had these gloves for a year now and I've enjoyed them. They fit well but do tend to shift a little after riding for awhile so I tend to pull them tight a few times a ride. They're very well vented so my hands dont get sweaty very much even in mid summer. The only real disappointment is the velcro clasp at the wrist, its secured to the glove with two strips of rubber and after a season one strip has ripped on one glove and the other glove shows stress cracks where it will break but other than that I do like them

THIS IS MY SECOND SET. THE LAST LONG AND ARE GREAT FOR THOSE LONG RIDES IN THE SUN OR RAIN.
