Customers generally praise the quality and construction of these gloves, though many note they initially feel tight and may require breaking in. The touch screen compatibility is a frequently highlighted feature. Most customers suggest sizing up for better comfort. Despite being tight at first, the gloves become more comfortable over time. The solid knuckle protection and good airflow are appreciated, making them ideal for summer use. Overall, the gloves receive high recommendations for their durability and practicality.
Great summer gloves lasted a long time.
Bought a pair of these expecting some good quality gloves and after 2 rides they started to unstitch themselves.... hopefully the replacement doesn't do the same.....
Excellent gloves, true to size, top quality service from sportsbikeshop as usual
Love these. Super comfortable, good quality, wore them in August, wearing them in October (for shorter rides obv), great fit and feel of controls.
Typical Alpinestars , well made, good fit comfortable glove
For great! Kept my hands warm throughout the ride !
perfect fit, and comfortable
thickness jsut perfect for warm/hot weather and no air gets in while riding! first aplinestars product so yes I love it!
Well made and a great fit.
Happy with my purchase and the the service from Sportsbikeshop, but I'm always very happy with their service so nothing new there
Haven't ridden with them yet as only got them a couple days ago, however they feel well made, fit really well and can't wait to try them out
Bought 1 size up. Leather quite firm to begin with but the does seem to soften up and is comfortable. Fingers are slightly long compared to size of the glove. Having said that they are way better than any Furygan gloves I have bought which start falling apart within weeks of purchase.
I had Alpinestars' Scheme gloves before these (fabric and Kevlar) and they were a good fit after I had cut off the much too narrow thumbs.Gutted when I lost one of them.
Wasn't sure I'd pick leather for a Summer glove, but with the perforations they are cool. And also light.
Bought the same "Large" size, and was pleasantly surprised that the thumb was not over tight, though they are a little narrow in that area, so if you got big fat thumbs go for another brand. Finger length was O.K a little on the long side, but not so you'd worry.
They do feel a little stiff at first, and as they have hard plastic knuckle protection, a bit unwieldy. I rubbed in some dubbing to help soften them and after 4 or 5 rides they are great.
These are at my upper limit for light-weight gloves price-wise, but I do feel they are worth the cost, though as with everything nowadays, it would've been nice to have got them cheaper. You pays yer money yada yada yada....
Customer service: excellent.
Glove:Good.
Quality of the glove is excellent. However the sizes appear to be a bit awkward as it's very tight on the hand, but long on the thumb and pinky finger. The glove is a bit stiff, however I've not had chance to really break them in yet which I expect the glove to soften up over time. The only reason I've scored this good as opposed to excellent is due to the sizing, but a quality glove nevertheless. SportsBikeShop have been excellent with their customer service and being totally honest, I've not experienced customer service anything like It. Great company. Highly recommended.
Great pair of gloves. Perfect fit, no need to 'size up'. Quality feel, very happy. SBS superb on the phone and delivery excellent.
Really good quality craftsmanship and the materials used are comfortable to wear.
The gloves are ok, only you need a bigger size! Wonderful cooperation with staff! No1
Fit perfectly, quality made gloves, no issues at all.
The gloves are very comfortable and the usual medium size fits snugly. Build quality is superb with the venting keeping my hands cool and comfortable.
Ordered a medium and fits like a glove (pun intended). Doesn't flow massive amounts of air but enough to keep the sweat away on hot summer days despite being full leather. The inside seams can be a bit abrasive and uncomfortable in the beginning but after about 100-150 miles they are well broken in and are perfectly comfortable for any amount of time.
The Alpinestars Celer glove is a short style leather sports glove constructed from goat hide with a hard PU knuckle protector. The palm incorporates EVA foam inserts to the traditional impact zones and there are synthetic leather and suede reinforcements to the side of the hand, thumb and palm.
