Alpinestars SMX-2 Air Carbon Gloves 4.4 5 218 218
Don't fit right Great looking gloves but run real small and just don't seem to fit right. Had to exchange XL for 2xl and still seem on the small side and just dont seem to fit my hands very well. Always get XL in other brands with no issues. Won't buy alpinestars gloves again. May 20, 2013
Nice gloves Gloves are great for summer riding. I got these as an alternative to my GP Pros for the street. Very comfortable when you have your hand wrapped around the grips. May 20, 2013
Great overall Good amount of protection for the price and air flow. Haven't tested the gloves in very hot weather 80°F+ , but I think they will be fine with the mesh design for airflow. May 20, 2013
Great gloves I was a bit concerned with some of the very light weight gloves I was using when riding my Duc, so wanted a warm weather, good looking glove that was comfortable and provided more protection. These fit the bill perfectly. The leather is soft and supple, the flow air very well, they look great, and definitely have more protection than the almost mountain bike like gloves that I had. I normally wear an XL in gloves, and these work fine in that size. A little tight initially, but quickly work in to great feel. May 19, 2013
Awesome Spring / Summer gloves! I got the gloves because they looked pretty stylish with what I am wearing. As well as they have a good amount of features that I wanted in a glove. The knuckles do not slide down when you open / close your grip on your clutch / throttle. They have enough airflow that I can wear all my gear & still be nice & cool as well as be safe. The quality of the glove is actually nice as well everything seems to fit as it should. The leather on the gloves seem to break in easily. Another thing I noticed when I got the gloves is that they actually work on touch screen phones they have the pads on the fingertips to make it work. I would buy the gloves again for spring / summer sue... Not so much for use during the winter, May 13, 2013
Good quality gloves. Fits a little smaller than the charts, but overall a great quality that is good for long rides. May 12, 2013
Really nice gloves but.......... I bought these gloves in the black/green colorway and they go perfectly with my green/black Kawasaki ZX6R. My only issue is the longterm durability of the gloves. I've only worn them a handful of times and the threading is starting to come loose on more than one part of each glove. At this rate I'll need new gloves in 6 months. The gloves seem to have good protection but I haven't been down yet to confirm. If you get the gloves you won't regret it...it's worth the money but could have better quality. May 9, 2013
Great Summer Choice These things are so light. You can barely feel them at speed, and the mesh flows great amounts of air keeping your hands relaxed. Used these gloves to take the MSF course, in 90 degree weather, which last about 10 hours a day of riding and my hands never sweated a drop. Of course you do sacrifice some of the leather protection of other gloves, but these gloves are definitely a great summer buy for its price. May 7, 2013

Everyday I ride 20 miles one way to work, partly in-town stop-and-go traffic and out on county highways. I have a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R and an Alpinestars T-GP-R Air jacket. The Alpinestars SP-8 and SMX-2 Air Carbon appear to be awesome riding gloves. What is the main difference between the gloves and do you recommend one over the other for my riding?

Answer: 
Personally I see that the SP-8 has a little more protection for the wrists. and the style is different. I own the SMX-2 air carbons and they feel amazing and fit great with good air flow. Comfort is there and the quality is there. SP-8 would be very nice because it goes down to your wrist. Only con it doesn't have the solid knuckle protection that the SMX-2 has. I'd go with the SP-8.

Answer: 
I can't give you any advise regarding the sp-8 but I tried the smx-2 air carbon on at a dealership and the glove is super comfortable and the protection seems great, you wont even notice you are wearing those gloves. I would have bought them right there but they are about $70 here and I can get any color I want and they were $100 at the dealership and they only had black. I can safely say you will be happy with the smc-2 air carbon.

How do these two compare? I'm looking for a pair of street riding gloves but I have long and narrow fingers (8.5" around knuckles, but 8.25" from wrist crease to tip of middle finger). I tried on the FL1 in an XL and liked the length, but was a little wider than ideal for my hand. Is the AStars a good alternative?

Answer: 
They tend to run a little narrower in the finger and would be a good alternative. I have very long skinny fingers and they fit just fine!

Answer: 
No .. you will find them too snug. The Alpinestars aren't for those with ... ummmm ... plump hands. I highly suggest you look at something in the Held glove line since they offer you greater variety of sizing options, including a "Long" option for those with long fingers.

When measuring for gloves do we measure from the outside of the knuckle or from the centre?

I'm over in Australia so I want to get this right first time around.
If I understood the guide: palm down, measuring from index finger knuckle to pinky finger knuckle

Answer: 
For Alpinestars, yes this is the correct method. Others will have you measure a circumference, but Astars is a bit different.

Answer: 
Measure the outside of your knuckle, but start from the inside of your hand. You don't want to measure just the top part of your hand, but also the sides of the knuckle.
