High quality protection

Great gloves but I have found that Alpinestar gloves tend to run very small for me. If I go to Home Depot for Garden gloves a large fits fine. My two sets of Alpinestar gloves are both 2XL. I would go up at least one size maybe two. Beyond the sizing issues they are everything you could want in a sport oriented motorcycle glove. I started with a gauntlet style but those don’t work very well with my ADV jacket. I think unless you have a tight cuff race suit or jacket you will be better off with this style without the gauntlet.

Perfect entry level gloves!

The finish is great and the construction cant be beat. Goat skin on the palm with reinforced areas with extra fabric and of course the carborn fiber knuckle, which not only is it a head turner, its light and will protect you if you go down. As others have discussed the fit is on the smaller side so you might want to size up. I wear large on gloves so i order a large mine fit perfectly. Touch screen is nice too. Definitely recommend!

Cant beat it!

These are my 3rd pair of Alpinestars Gloves. I didnt have a problem wit sizing since both my other pair are XXL. These gloves are mostly leather so the fit was snug for a couple days. I didnt wet them just wore them around the house and drove with them on to and from work a couple days. Body heat stretched them out perfectly. Make a fist often to simulate holding ur grips and move ur thumb around for controls. Good Quality my best pair yet.

Comfy, order a size down they will stretch a little.

The only thing I don't like is that there is a sharp edge or something when putting the gloves on that always scratches my hand... I have no idea what it is though and I can't seam to find it... I believe it is the sharp edge of the Velcro strap. But other then that, they are cool for summer riding and work great!

Second favorite motorcycle glove

I have small hands but the medium fits perfectly with no bunched up material like I get with some brands. Good feel on the grips while wearing them. Don’t know why there is a touch screen rating, didn’t think they were made for that and if they are then my pair don’t work for cell phones at all. Overall very happy with these gloves but I do like the off road versions better because of the thinner material. But the thinner material would not hold up on pavement!

Really nice gloves

I bought these for bike riding my eMTB in mostly urban areas (streets and parks), nothing too crazy. I wanted something durable that would be protective in the event of a fall onto asphalt. These really do the job, feel very protective, solidly made, great grip, comfortable. Not cheap, but I feel these will last. About the sizing: I did my hand measurement, which was in the upper end of 'Medium', so that's what I ordered. They do fit, but perhaps a little more snugly than ideal. I probably would go for the 'Large' if/ when I order another pair. I have a feeling that my hands fall right in between the two sizes, so neither size may be absolutely perfect for me. In any case, they aren't restricting my hand or finger movements, and they may in time stretch out a little bit. Highly recommend these gloves.

Very nice glove for price.

I bought these gloves for summer riding. They are everything I expected and a bit more. Very comfortable from the outset and durable from what I can tell so far. Took them on 100 mile ride first day I got them, noticed that the wrist was a bit tight. I will wear the Velcro a bit looser next time. Highly recommend these gloves for the price you pay I bought these gloves for summer writing. They are everything I expected and a bit more. Very comfortable from the outside stretch and durable from what I can tell so far. Took them on 100 mile ride first day I got them, noticed that the rest was a bit tight will wear the Velcro a bit looser next time. Highly recommend these gloves for the price point. They also look very nice.

Worth the extra money

These Alpinestar gloves are top notch, fit is as described , with no excess materials. I normally do not buy high end vented gloves but this time I figured I would see the difference between no name china gloves and name brand purpose built gloves. The differences is the fit, and the materials used. I can't say enough about the fit since they fit like a second skin, no bulkiness, or loose fingers. The XL is a perfect XL.

Order a size up

Order a size up. I usually wear a medium glove but took previous reviews into account when ordering. Glad I did. A medium would have been too small. They are a bit bulky but I guess that's needed in case of a fall. They are ventilated and keep my hands cool on hot days. These are not cold weather gloves. My only real complaint is that the palms and finger grip is too smooth. I really have to bear down when clutching and front braking as the gloves tend to slide on the smooth metal of the clutch and brake levers.

They work perfect. If you don’t want to clean them by the black version.

These are nice. They are comfortable once you break them in with a little bit of leather lotion. White shows dirt big shock there. I like alpine stars I really only prefer them. They match my alpine stars jacket perfectly. These are not for winter riding. Summer riding They work perfect. If you don’t want to clean them by the black version.
