Customers are quite pleased with the Alpinestars gloves, finding them well-made with excellent build quality and protection. They fit true to size but may feel snug at first, loosening over time. Many customers appreciate the balance between comfort and durability, noting that although they may initially feel stiff, they eventually become as comfortable as old favorites. Some suggested improvements for finger bridge and thumb protection. Overall, the gloves are praised for their fit, warmth, and protective features.
Got these as summer gloves but I use them throughout every season, very comfortable and stylish, looks more urban than bigger gloves, downside is velcro will wear away.
These are my go to glove most of the year around. Very comfortable, they go well under jacket sleeves even with a watch on. They bed in really well for good flex in all the fingers as well
Bought for protection but also the touchscreen capability. The touchscreen works well, they are comfy and cool in summer heat, but a 20mph tumble on road gravel had them burst and stitched on protective armour rip off. Buy them if you have no plans to crash, dont buy if you're unsure of your crashing plans.
These fit really nicely, plenty of movement in them too with great protection.
Gloves are perfect good quality and true to description
Perfect
I wanted a pair of summer gloves that should the unfortunate happen, my hands would remain in one piece and these fit the bill.
Despite the mixed leather and mesh construction they feel as reassuring as a full leather glove.
They are a snug fit - so hoping they give with use - with perfect finger lengths and a grippy leather palm that gives good feedback.
I've worn them on a RT at 16 degrees for an hour and even with the fairing my hands were beginning to get cold, so, on the upside they should be great in warmer weather.
My only negatives are - the little finger bridge should go higher up, as where it finishes it is unlikely to prevent your finger from ending up at a not very angle.
And it would have been nice to see some protection, even just a little leather, covering the thumb nail as there is on all the other fingers and not just the mesh.
Apart from those issues, they are a great pair of gloves and roll on summer.
Very nicely made Alpinestars glove bought in the biggest size (3XL) available to fit my large hands and still felt a big snug. After a few wears they loosened up. The stitching and materials used are good and makes me feel like they will last a long time. Usual rapid dispatch from SBS.
This is a top quality product with excellent build quality and protection, they are comfortable and the sizing is correct, slightly tight the first couple of times then fine. Never skimp on gloves they are normally the first thing to hit the road.
Great glove, great protection and fit perfectly
arrived super fast too!
Nice light weight glove, kept my hands warm enough on a 2 hour motorway stint. They fit true to size and I like the fact they have sliders on the palm.
These SP X Air are not as vented as my old SMX Air so will not be quite as cool on really hot days. They do have way more protection all round though. Compared to these my old SMX feel flimsy. I guess the trade off for better protection is not so much ventilation. These are really well made and have some very nice protection touches. All my Alpinestars gloves are M , as are these, and are a great fit. Only slight complaint is the thumbs are a little long . Other than that very pleased
Bought these gloves for summer riding. Great fit good ventilation all in all a very nice glove as always fantastic service from sportsbikeshop
Excellent gloves, nice and comfortable and fit is perfect
Again, in these difficult times SBS delivered an excellent product, very quickly that fit perfectly . With no hassle, just a great place to shop.
Thanks again. ????????
Comfortable, great protection and looks good
Very good fit and size perfect. Delivered quickly as usual.
Bought these to replace a worn out pair I bought 4 summers ago. They were also Alpinestars and were like a comfy pair of slippers, so these had a lot to,live up to and at first they were tough and hard but only a few weeks later they too are feeling like my old slippers..
