Great glove!
As mentioned these run small, so buyer beware.
I'm a large in just about everything else & even in a XL these are a tad snug, though with some miles in 'em they should break in nicely.
No regrets here...

Best gloves you will ever buy
Watch the sizing, these gloves run a size small. If you get the right size they are worth every penny

Very Happy
Yes, I agree they start out tight, I also wear XL in other gloves and these seemed tighter, I could feel pressure in the whole hand, and palm was tight and flat like a drum across its width. The finger tips were just at the limit of being too short, and closing hand showed them to have less volume in the fingers than a Dainese. But, they are also less sloppy when the hand is open. But, I was certain they would work and fortunately they broke in quick, and now I love them, perfect fit and good butter to the leather. Air flow is great, better than a Dainese or Revit. I could feel a knuckle digging in the beginning, but not now, rode all day with them and had no arm pump, hand irritation, and they did not get sweat soaked. These are a winner for sure, so glad I got them.

Great glove, FITS SMALL
Great gloves, but they fit small. Everyone says it, so I'm sure I don't need to, but believe it. I fit XL in EVERY OTHER GLOVE on the planet: Icon Overlord Long, four different brands of snowboarding gloves, three different brands of mountain biking gloves, work gloves, gardening gloves, everything XL, except these Alpinestars - I ordered the XL first (because I read ONE review that said they fit true to size) and they were impossible to wear, I sent them back and got the 2XL - they still fit snug, but it's a decent fit. Honestly, the 3XL would probably also work for me.
Airflow is ok, but not as good as my Icon Overlords, but the Alpinestars are much sturdier and I'm sure will give much better protection, so I see this as an unavoidable tradeoff, that's worth it to me. I crashed in my Icon gloves and they protected me but very quickly disintegrated afterwards.
It took about 200 miles of riding before the gloves were broken in, during that time they were very stiff. I see this too as a natural/expected/unavoidable consequence of their sturdy construction. Certainly not a big problem, but just be ready to take it easy when you get them. Don't plan a track day with new gloves :)
Now, they're perfect and I don't notice I'm wearing them. Always comfortable, and very well pre-shaped.

Great glove for the money.
Between work and the Iowa monsoon season, today is the first day I've had a chance to try these gloves. I'm very impressed. My hands tend to size right between medium and large, depending on the manufacturer. Based on A-stars size chart, I ordered medium, but that was too tight. Revzilla was fantastic on the exchange and the large gloves fit me perfectly. They are very snug without being too tight. It was only 74 degrees today, so that is not much of a test, but my hands stayed cool and comfortable. I've inspected these gloves thoroughly and the quality of construction is excellent. If you want a great glove at a good price, try these gloves.

Solid quality product
awesome product. Fits a bit small at first but give some time for break in. Looks fantastic.

great glove
Crashed tested. low side at 100+ mph. gloves held up great. seems stayed together, and the plastic slider on the palm does wonders! after crashing the only injury to my hand was a heat burn on the meat below the pinky finger.

best gloves
okay I bought these gloves because I wanted a glove that would not make my hand tired, that fit great, and offered protection, which is what I got from them, I bought the white ones with the GP tracks on them. they look amazing! the fit I feel is true to size, maybe a tiny bit tight getting my hand in at first but they worked in after a week of riding and now they're perfect, the palms are just the right thickness to have a lot of feeling on the grips and controls, and will offer good protection if i go sliding. a lot of dexterity in the fingers, I can touch my thumb to every finger with little or no resistance from the gloves, they are a motogp glove so they're is a good amount of leather and padding so if your into a minimalist glove, they're not for you...I think they are perfect for me and they look sick
and as always revzilla had perfect customer service and shipped out fast
