Comfy!
29 June 2025 by Chris D
I wanted a long glove to go with my one-piece suit. I find RST gloves too long in the fingers so opted for the Alpinestar SP-8 v3 based on reviews of others and the overall spec.

Gloves are very comfy now but were very tight to begin with, They have broken in well within the first couple hundred miles. The scaphoid protection is a big plus for me - the gloves are really well spec'd.

Great service from the team in Milton Keynes, tried a few pairs on and was given helpful feedback about the right sizing.

Stylish protective useful gloves.

These gloves not only look good, but they are also very protective too with the pinky finger link and the sliding pad on the palm. They also have touch screen function on the thumb and first finger. Sizing was a little awkward for me, I tried on a large which was way to tricky to get my hand into so I went for the XL which is slightly large for my hands but it was the only option. These gloves feel like a mesh glove but don't particularly have the best/any air flow through them that you can feel like a mesh glove

Best gloves on the market
08 April 2025 by Jack
Love these gloves, not a bad word to say really, fits me really well, love the feel, take a little while to break in and they are extremely comfortable one broken and during the process. Only gripe is that the big velcro strap on the Left hand side tends to rub against the smaller velcro strap which doesn’t cause a problem for their use, only cosmetic

Lovely gloves

Bought these to replace a pair I'd had for years, after sizing up from my normal size of XL they fit lovely. They took a week or so to break them in but now they are perfect. They look awesome, are comfy and you can see and feel the quality in them.

I'd definitely buy these again, and as usual SBS service was class.

Great all round summer gloves
02 July 2024 by Andy
Bought these to replace my 5 year old GP Pros. They instantly felt more comfortable, nice feel through the bars, appear well constructed and colors match a variety of riding gear. Should be up to the odd track day also. Would recommend these great all-round gloves.

Brilliant value
18 June 2024 by Patrick B
I needed a pair of gloves suitable for a track day and after trying a pair or Alpinstar's short waterproof gloves I had no hesitation in buying these. They are a snug fit and took a little breaking in whereas the previous gloves were immediately comfortable. It also took a while to get used to the two little fingers being straped together. However, they are confortable and I have every confidence in their quality of construction and robustness. I believe they offer fantastic value for money especially compared to the coloured variations that cost considerably more.

Finally gloves that fit!!
15 March 2024 by Jon T
I have large hands and always struggle with the knuckles lining up, despite measuring, checking size guides, etc. Ordered 3xl (like many others I have tried) and "fit like a glove..."

Lovely.
And the quality is as expected. My last Alpinestar gloves lasted years so hopefully these are similar.

Ordered these gloves and, after a short restocking issue, they arrived. I opened the parcel and couldn't believe how light they are. And so supple, feel like they're already wore in. So pleased with them. They fit me really well too,
