 great construction but lacking in a few key areas

By Eric from Charleston, WV on 06/23/2008

Pros: Buttery soft leather and gives a wonderful level of feel at the bars. Easy to take on and off due to the single strap system. They do actually breath better than I expected. Great glove for the money

Cons: The index and ring fingers were a bit long compared to my last pair of glove (AGV Tornado's) so it struck the brake lever at its old position when reaching for the front brake. After a quick adjustment of the brake lever, it was no problem though. My bigest problem though is that these gloves do not have a wrist strap in conjunction with the primary closure so your fingers sometimes don't stay seated in the glove as I would like.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: As any good piece of leather riding apparel, it fits snug at first but will relax over time. This seems to be especially pronounced with alpinestars products though.

I was kind of leary about the white fingers on the gloves as my suit is black, grey, and silver but it sets it off nicely. The first thing you notice as soon as you take them out of the bag is the feel. Alpinestars quality shines through as always. These gloves have some of the softest and most pliable leather I've ever felt in a protective glove. The palm is a suede leather with TONS of grip. As I said, they are a bit snug when I first put them on but they are starting to loosen up nicely. The only gripe I have is that I would love to have a wrist strap. Then these gloves would be perfect.

 A little large - But a great glove for the $$

By Brian M. from Chattanooga TN on 06/09/2008

Pros: Very flexible, long through the wrist - this is good for tucking in your thick leather jacket sleeves. Also, for the $$ the gloves have tons of protection.

Cons: Again, my only complaint would be the sizing, but overall a great pair of gloves.

Sizing Info: Fits 1 size larger

Additional Sizing Notes: OK, so this might not apply to some, but the fingers are a little long for my hand (purchased a SMALL). I probably should have ordered an X-Small, but I've never been able to get my hands in an XSM. The fingers are about 1/2 inch too long. This makes for uncomfortable (quick) transitions to the levers. Not knocking the gloves, maybe I simply have short fingers.

 Alpinestars SP-2 gauntlet style gloves.

By Parabellum from Midwest, USA on 05/01/2008

Pros: This is a great street glove for the rider who is looking for the protection of a gauntlet style glove, but doesn't have the $200-$300 for a set of truly race worthy gloves. These gloves have thick material and padding where its needed, generous gauntlet overlap so you can fasten them over the cuff of any riding jacket, and carbon fiber knuckle guards. I have already lowsided in a pair Alpinestars gloves offering less protection than these, and the gloves did their job, they saved my hands. I am confident that these gloves will offer adequate protection for the street rider, as long as the speeds are kept within reason.

Cons: The only "con" to these gloves is that, in my opinion, they are not race worthy. I fully believe these gloves will do their job at street speeds (70mph and less) but at track speeds (130+) I would want something with thicker leather, possibly kangaroo hide. Also, they do not breathe that well...that is a great plus in cold weather, but a minus in hot weather. I wear these gloves as long as the temps are below 80f....above 80f I have another pair of Alpinestars gloves that are well vented and keep the hands much cooler.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: I have long fingers and this glove in a Large fits me just about perfectly.

Comments: Like all the Alpinestars gloves I have owned, these are well made, they look good, and since I have personally crash tested Alpinestars gloves in the past, I am confident in their protection.

By Anonymous from Anytown, USA on 04/16/2008

Pros: great looking glove. very comfortable to wear.

Cons: the cuff is tight and it takes me a while to work it over my jacket. i amost half to ride with it unvelcroed. No strp directly across the wrist.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: Cuff loosens after breaking in.

Comments: overall - the glove looks great and the carbon fiber nuckles are very safe, although, without a wrist strap and having to wear them loosely to go over my jacket, i do have some doubts.

 Good quality cheap gloves

By Jorg from McAllen, TX, USA on 03/21/2008

Pros: Good riding gloves for the street not track (you'd need more protection). Comfortable for even long rides. Cools enough in medium warm weather (80-90 degree bracket)

Cons: Could do with more ventilation. It tends to get warm on the Mexican border!

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Comments: I bought them for their venting. Probably the best quality gloves in this price bracket!
