Quality Gloves
24 June 2025 by Jason
I bought these gloves for “summer” use, they’re thicker than a standard summer glove and excellent quality.
Used in the rain on the motorway and hands stayed dry.
The reviews I read stated to go a size up as they come up smaller but I didn’t find this. I ordered Large on the back of this and found them a little big but not massively so, only one of my fingers reach the end of the glove.
I still recommend them, maybe best to try them on

Fit is too tight to start with, but gets better over time. Appears good quality. Not used in rain yet.

Really good gloves. I tried one size larger but they were too large so I went with my normal glove size and the fit was perfect for me.
The usual excellent service from SBS.

Good protection & comfortable

Nice summer glove. Being short they obviously don’t go over your sleeves of your jacket

Comfy

Needed new summer glove. These broke in within 2-3 rides and are really comfy. Great material and nice looking. My gut feeling tells me they won’t last but at the price I’m fine with that.

Perfect Short Glove
10 February 2025 by Anonymous
They do come up small so I had to go a size up for a good fit. The glove looks great and performs very well keeping my hands warm and dry during my winter rides which are usually a couple of hours.
The glove also allows you to be able to use your smart phone with touch sensitive finger tip.
Thoroughly recommend this glove.

Fitted great, but leaked on first sight of rain

It's a shame as I really liked these gloves, fitted really well but both gloves leaked on the first time in rain, hopefully a one off pair.

Perfect mid-season gloves
08 June 2024 by Brett
I wanted a pair of gloves that were waterproof without being bulky or hot and had good protection for under £100 and these fit that perfectly.
I tried loads of gloves before the SMX Z and none seemed to fit right but these are great and have all-day comfort with a nice secure fit.
Tested in heavy rain at motorway speeds and bright sunshine, and they performed brilliantly. Glad I chose these gloves and would happily recommend to others.

Great gloves just a little on the small side
05 June 2024 by Luke S
The gloves feel amazing, I got the XL size and they're a little on the smaller side compared to most other gloves, I found this is usual for Alpinestars, overall the the material and quality are great and I'll be using these as a winter gloves for sure.

Good Gloves
10 April 2024 by Darren
Good feel through them as thin but still warm. Probably mid season type as possibly to warm for summer. Smaller sizing than most other gloves I have but find this normal for Alpinestar stuff. Would say need to size up at least one size from usual. Gloves seem well made and comfortable.Can't comment on how waterproof they are as not tried in the rain. Great service from sportsbikeshop as well when gloves got lost at collection point. sportsbikeshop sent another pair out next day..
