Alpinestars gloves

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.

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

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.

Gloves are a great fit. Kept the water out on several occasions since they arrived. Good protection for the hands too.

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..

Great gloves
01 April 2024 by Vincenzo G
Very happy with this purchase.
Bit tight at the beginning but after few rides they've worn quite well. I am on the large side of an M.
I have tried in the rain and my hand stayed warm and dry.
Tried in a cold weather near 4 degrees (celsius) and combined with hand guard + heated grips I was fine.

Top quality service & Gloves supplied from SBS

The gloves are exactly what i wanted and the usual SBS service and help is top drawer as normal. The Alpinestar gloves are super comfy and soft but remain robust and fit for purpose

Excellent quality 3 seasons gloves

Stiff material, it took 2 weeks to loosen up. I wear XL and listening to other reviews, I have got the XXL which is a tight fit nevertheless functional. No insulation provided and this was one of the main reasons for buying.
Good looking and light, they're perfect for above 4 degrees. They remain dry inside in light to moderate showers. In combination with heated grips they are perfect for commuting.
