These gloves are a bit weird, they look fantastic, and individually, they work great, they're well ventilated and grip well on the bars and levers. Operating buttons on the switchgear is good too. Only problem is the weird fit - the right glove is significantly smaller than the left glove, meaning until they're broken in, they really do pinch a bit in certain areas - mine even left a small blister on the inside of my right index finger. The left glove felt fantastic though, fit was beautiful. The right glove (and yes, it was the same size lol, Large) was slightly too tight. I'm hoping the more I wear them the more they'll free up a bit and break in. I love they have a pinky protector too, this was the main reason for me buying these gloves, as you don't tend to find the pinky stitch on short gloves like these. I wouldn't use them for super long journeys or touring - but for blasting around on a Sunday they're fine, if you can handle the weird fit.
Really nice quality as always with the brand. Cool an comfortable but would advise going up a size than normal.
Got these as a gift I had to get a bigger size 2xl so try them on before purchase.Excellent feel great product for the warmer days.
Great fit, very comfortable, not had a chance to try them in very hot weather. Often find fingers aren't long enough in gloves but these are perfect.
Needed a glove for everything apart from winter riding. Fits the bill nicely. Comfortable, great venting, superb dexterity and dries quick if you do happen to get them damp.
Could do with some impact protection built into them at this price point as none at all on the fingers.
Sizing as always is pot luck really to get the fingers right. I'm a small in my A* Bogota Pro gloves, medium in these and large in other A* models I tried on.
Overall tho I would recommend.
First time I. Have purchased short gloves but they are great for fair weather. Comfy warm enough with some air flow and sizing and fit is great.
My recent purchase of these gloves have exceeded my expectations.
The fit is perfect and the level of protection is to match.
Light and strong as you expect from alpinestars. Would class them as a warmer weather glove. The short cuffs easily tuck under the jacket cuff.
Would recommend to all.
As always SBS have a great service and delivery.
I wanted a pair of leathers that had a good look about them with a comfortable fit, which is difficult at times.
These look amazing, really good materials but until they fully break in I can't say how comfortable they'll be. Some internal stitching around the fingers is noticeable but if they give these could be the perfect glove for me. My only other "concern" is the knit material around the wrist/cuff as to how robust that will be when I'm pulling the glove on repeatedly over time.
