Alpinestars Supertech Glove - Black

Service excellent as ever form SBS.
OK fit although breaking them in took 600 miles and if this track day only Id need a lot of track time. Very very stiff to brake in, worst I've had in 40 years of riding. I tried the Dianese Metal 6 after I'd bought these which were so comfortable from the outset. Buy them again? No. Do the job? Yes, just as good if not better cheaper out there ?Defiantly. Go a size up and expect a tough breaking in session.

I've not broken them in fully yet as I purchase during the winter but my first impressions are positive.

I always have to go with 3XL with Alpinestars and they are a snug fit to get on but feel great once your hands are in.

They feel very high quality and quite "safe" with the armour and brace across the two last fingers.

Very good quality glove. The fitting is slightly small but not really a problem.

The quality and fit of the supertech gloves is great. They are top of the range and a little pricey but well worth the extra money if you can stretch the budget to buy them. They tend to come up a little small so I always order next size up, but with the sportsbike free return policy you can easily exchange them if needs be without incurring carriage costs.

Excellent product and excellent service by Sportsbike Shop, will be using your services again

Love these gloves, superb feel and grip.

Had the GP Pro before and ones "broke in" they served me very well for many miles.

The Supertechs also need some brake in but not as much and appear less "bulky".
Nice stitching, seems well designed and manufactured.

Some professional testers address the lack of hard slider in the palm area as a deal breaker.
Yes there are none. That might be the only minus.
I can't judge if that's a problem or if AS know it doesn't serve any purpose or if they assume experienced riders doesn't put their palms to the ground in a crash, would love to hear AS motivation to this.

They are small!
With some gloves I'm EU-size small, the GP Pros where Medium.
The Supertechs are size Large and has snug fit..
But it's no problem, check the measurement table, for me it was spot on accurate.

These are well made, don't think they are anything special though to be honest. Another pair of gloves in the vortex of odd sizes. These are a bit long in the finger for me compared to the other A* gloves I have in the same size. For the full retail price I wouldn't buy them again but SBS did an incredible price match for me. My Knox Handroids will still be my day to day gloves (better fit but bigger and bulkier) whereas these will be saved for track days.
