Comfortable and practical
These gloves are very comfortable and provide a good level of protection. I wear my gloves almost every day (I have I couple of over the pairs of gloves I wear too). They are not overly hot in warm weather. I find the run very true to size at least for my hands.

Great Glove
Bought gloves 2weeks ago have a couple hundred miles on them. Road in 60 degrees hands didn't get to cold. Also road in 88 degrees hands were sweating pretty good. 60-80 ideal range. You are getting a lot of protection on top of the hand. wish there was more on pinky side, like a hard part or some foam rather than just leather. Sexy gloves for sure!

Awesome Gloves, just ordered my second pair
30,000 miles and two crashes later, I decided to retire my first pair of these bad boys and just ordered a second pair to replace them. Amazingly enough, they're still serviceable, but I figure they've probably done their duty at this point and the leather is getting a little thin after that last crash. Needless to say, I'm certainly impressed with how these have held up.
These have been my everyday gloves for the past few years and they're great all-around 3 season gloves. They offer solid (and tested) protection without being overly restrictive. They're a great balance for aggressive street riding. I also have a pair of Astar GP-Tech's in the closet and honestly the only time I wear them is when I go to the track. That's how good these gloves are. Definitely recommended.

Good, but better out there
I got these after a crash in a pair of Alpinestars GP Plus gloves. I wanted to save a few bucks so I opted for a shorter glove with no gauntlet, but still wanted a lot of protection. For the price point, the protection is pretty decent (TP knuckles, pinkie bridge, leather construction), but I'm left with the distinct impression the glove is just cutting some corners.
The glove fits a bit on the loose side, which I'm not a fan of since it moves around more and bunches easier. The pinkie finger also isn't very reinforced; like if you hit it in a lowside, it would tear right open. The micro adjuster lets you sinch up the wrist to you liking which is nice, but it still feels loose around the rest of the hand. Maybe a size down would fix some of these issues.
Again, I'll say that I sort of downgraded from a superior race glove to this so it may be bias, but given that this is about 120 bucks, I think you'd be better off spending a few more bucks on something like a Dainese Druid, Alpinestars SP1 or a Held Evo Thrux to feel better about how protected you are.

great comfort and protection
This is my 2nd pair, they break in easy and quickly, they have ample protection and are supple for street riding in that feel for the throttle brakes clutch and indicators is nice and easy

Awesome short cuff gloves
I just ordered these gloves and they are really good. Alpinestars always uses quality materials. I have been riding everyday hot or cold these gloves are good. It doesnt make my hands hot in the heat and cold in the winter. The knuckle protection is comfortable. I never liked carbon fiver one piece knuckle protectors. These GP style ones offer does the job well. The only thing i dont like about the gloves is the suade palm. It seems like it wears out very quickly.

Sucks
Very unhappy with alpinestars and this product. I thought for 120 that I would be getting a high quality product. Wrong. There was a sharp plastic piece the stabbed my finger as I pulled in the clutch which made my ride unbearable. Also the fingers were a bit too short which I could have dealt with but the thumbs were about 1/2 too long which also added to the uncomfortability. This is my second pair of alpinestars gloves in a month, Not going with them again.
