Crash Tested & Passed

By Andrey from Radnor, PA

Pros: Survived a 50mph lowside just fine. Stayed intact. So cool in the summer that I forget that I'm wearing gloves.

Cons: CF knuckles did cave in so they're done. But they did their job. If it's below 60, these are way too cold.

Sizing Info: Fits 1 size larger

Additional Sizing Notes: These stretch a LOT. I usually wear XXL or even XXXL, the XLs fit me fine.

When I first got these I was a little - actually a lot, worried about how little protection these gloves seemed to offer. I was also worried about the tiny velcro strip that held them closed. I had multiple nightmare scenarios where I would envision these gloves simply sliding off my hand or coming apart at the stitching or the synthetic parts. I kept meaning to replace them but never did...now I have to because I just crash tested them this morning. There isn't a scratch on my hands, the gloves stayed on and are in one piece. The CF knuckes are scuffed up and caved in, some of the leather is scuffed up pretty bad too. Yet they're all in one piece and my hands are not bruised nor rashed. So A+....

great gloves, but didn't last very long here in hawaii

By jojo from hawaii

Pros: fit and feel great and very good in hot weather, especially like here in hawaii

Cons: i used these everyday to commute with and they busted at the seams of the palms after 6 months. it's probably due to the frequency of use, my sweaty hands and the fact that it's super humid in hawaii. but the synthetic leather in the palm tapped out on me pretty quickly.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Great gloves but could be more protective

By Anonymous from Anytown, USA

Pros: My third pair, like them a lot.

Cons: 1 year gloves: finger tips for clutch and brake wear out in one year. Fit very good if you buy the right size. Need a higher level of protection and would have gotten an upgraded version but it didn't fit at all.

Sizing Info: Fits 1 size larger

Additional Sizing Notes: Make sure you get one size larger than usual, run small.

ok gloves

By John from Anytown, USA

Pros: gloves look good, flows a lot air so in the summer so your hands dont get as hot. didn't really need a break-in period, which was cool.

Cons: The only thing i don't like about these gloves, is that my hands go numb really fast from wearing them. I'll be 5 or 7 mins into the ride and my hands are already starting to hurt and going numb. i highly doubt that i'll ever buy another pair of alpinestars gloves again. do NOT recommend
