Customers appreciate the fit, protection, and durability, though some mention issues with ventilation and finger length. Overall, they regard these gloves as a reliable choice for various riding conditions.
Decent gloves for the price but at first they are really stiff and the inside feels a little hard but after a few rides they've worn in well and the slightly annoying feel inside the glove is also better. They give you a great feel on the handle bars.
Another high class product from alpinestars. Looks great. Feels comfy. Gloves don't loosen much with usage so if you prefer a slacker fit, go for the size up.
Have had several pairs the version has a extra wrist strap which is a good idea.
Very comfortable, the double wrist straps makes them feel very secure, the pointer and thumb are touchscreen compatible which is very convenient and feels very protective. Felt a touch tight when at the correct size by measurements but as it's leather it'll expand nicely to your hand
Bit tight not the best gloves I've had from A star. They ok for a second pair. Id prefer the knox handroid 5. Ok for the price.
Bought as a Christmas present for my son he picked them as was told they are the best to protect the hands
My first alpinestars glove purchased, quality is spot on.
Gloves aren’t particularly comfortable. The stitching came apart after 2 track days and not much road riding. SBS kindly repaired under warranty which was decent but certainly would try another brand or model next time.
Definitely try on before buying. I bought medium very tight fit. With use they have given and are just right. Plenty of feel. Well made as expected. Ideal for warmer months definitely need the heated grips on in winter.
Fantastic gloves super comfortable once I’d broken them in on a few rides. Feel safe with the armour on the knuckles and pads on the palm. Very good adjustment on wrist and cuffs can be worn inside or out side of coat or leathers. Quite expensive but feel like they will last would recommend
These are basics gloves, but they do the job! Easy to get on and off, good grip levels, and a reasonable amount of protection. I do find them a little uncomfortable around my wrists if I do them a little too tight, but apart from that, great gloves.
Very pleased with these gloves, they do not feel bulky it’s almost like having a second skin on my hand
A nicely made glove which would be good value even at full RRP; at the discounted price I paid it was a no-brainer. My hand size was right at the high end of medium and the low end of large. Tried the large; a bit big. Medium was a good fit but tight, but I expect the glove to stretch to fit over time as my previous leather gloves did.
Cons: The elasticated cuffs are a pain to get over jacket sleeves. The wrist strap is covered by another flap of suede which extends down from the palm; this is a nuisance. A bunch of tags are sewn just inside the cuff and these always need to be tucked back inside once the glove is on - more faffing!
Overall, a very nice glove and good value.
Nice pair of gloves, definitely a development from previous versions. The Velcro closure is nice with an elasticated section to go round jacket cuffs. Sizing comes up a little small so try a couple of sizes!
