Runs small
Just a note on the sizing. They do run very small. I had the Alpinestars SMX2 Air Carbons before in a size medium and it fit very nicely. Got the GP Plus in a medium and it is so small. When I first got them in I could hardly get my hand in. And it would also hurt from being too tight. I thought maybe I needed to break them in so about a week of wearing them they have loosened up a bit but still fit very tight. It is difficult to put your hands through the wrist area. I tried on a pair of Dainese gauntlets in a size small and they fit better. So if you plan on getting these you should get at least a size bigger than normal.

I love these
Gloves provide great protection and feel more comfortable than the older versions of Alpinestars that I wore in the past. I usually have a problem with the fingers on gloves being too short but these fit perfect. I like the black color but I'm not too crazy about the other multi-colored ones. I think an all white or all red for example would look better.

Great glove for the money!
The fit is small on these. I normally wear an XL in Mechanics and had to order a 2XL in these. Even then It'll take some time to stretch them out and to break in to my hands. The wrist area is unnecessarily small making it a little difficult to get these on and off but I have noticed them getting a little better over time. They have plenty of protection and look great. They don't flow as much air as my RevIt Curbs.

Excellent gloves
This glove is one of the best on the market. Fit was true to size for me, airflow is good with great protection and style.

Looks great and surprisingly comfortable
These gloves are definitely a quality product. They are much more comfortable than I had expected. They look better than the photos make you think - I wasn't crazy about the look of the moulded knuckle protection because I thought it looked cheap (previous gloves had carbon fiber). However, it looks great in real life. Hopefully I won't find out how they hold up in a crash but I don't doubt they would keep my hands intact. Will be wearing these on my first track day this summer.
Fit sounds typical for alpinestars, a little on the small side, so order a size larger than you think.
PS Revzilla rocks, best service ever.

Solid, Stylish.
Got these as street riding gloves. They feel super sturdy, have a lot of the high level protective features of high end race gauntlets but at a much saner price and more comfortable. The narrow point as your hand enters the glove is a bit tight and I have to sort of wiggle my hand to get it in, but once the glove is on, it fits wonderfully and breaths well.

Saved my pinky.
Lowsided at the track and the gloves did what they were supposed to. Left wrist padding, both palm guards, and right pinky protection(prevents separation) really saved my hands on impact and sliding across the pavement. Damaged now but still wearable and safe. Considering they are not the most expensive pair, the protection and style you get on these are the best bang for the buck when you're on a budget.

Excellent gloves but fit small
I ordered a 2xl because all Alpinestars gear fits small. They were too small for me. Revzilla is the best when it comes to returns. I live in Canada but I had no hassle returning these for 3xl. I am 6'3" an have long fingers. The 3xl fit perfectly. I would highly recommend the gp plus gloves for track and street.
