Good first glove
This was my first glove and I had it for a few months now. It feels good and solid. The fit was a tiny bit larger, but overall was good. I wish the wrist area was tighter and the velcro strap can be tighter too. This glove also has great weather versatility, on very hot days (87 Fahrenheit+) hands will get a little sweaty. Also the blue has a really nice style to stand out. The sp8 logo on the pinkie came off, but it doesn't bother me. Overall this is a good glove.

Quite small on the lower wrist side
I have a big (but not huge) hand. I use L sized GYM leather gloves and all the rest XL when possible.
These Gloves fit (my fingers) perfectly and the knuckle guard is set properly. However, the lower end where the wrist starts is not in line with the Glove's protection. I usually get a pressure line across my wrist confirming these do not fit perfectly.
I've never ever worn a 2XL and did not think that I'd need this size. Im keeping my XL but just a heads up for big-hand guys/girls.
The rest of the glove is just pure awesomeness :).

Excellent for the price.
Gloves are excellent for the price. Followed the size chart to pick the size. I was on the border of Medium and Large. Ordered the medium. Perfect fit.

Great glove for a great price.
No surprises on quality coming from Alpinestars, excellent fit and finish. Good protection for the street with the capability for a track day. Due to the lack of enhanced wrist and knuckle protection wouldn't recommend for track duty. As far as street riding I think they are just about perfect. Light, with just enough of airflow. Overall very happy.

All you could ever need in a glove.
For the price, you really cant beat these gloves. They flow a decent amount of air, quality leather, haven't had a problem with the velcro once where I have with others, and I haven't personally tested the protection, but everythings in order and im not the least bit concerned about it.

Great gloves at a good price
I used to wear mechanix gloves and the like. I thought I could cut costs in the glove region. That was a squid-y move as these gloves are like chain-mail. Offer great protection.
They are also an amazing feel when operating the controls, the difference is massive. I'm glad I got them.

This product is great! Awesome price and bang for the buck!
These gloves are a total bang for the buck! They look awesome, fit great and have very good air flow! They are easy to break in and feel good the first time wearing them. Great buy!

Excellent
Picked this up as my first street full cuff glove, turned out great.
This is an excellent street glove with decent protection.
It is a true to size fit across the knuckle but the fingers are a bit long, since I have slightly long fingers this glove fits perfect.
The knuckle plate is padded a bit on the inside so it isn't bothersome when riding, although it could do with some more palm padding. And lastly I'm a month and a half in and they are slightly broken in, my guess is they will last a year to two of daily use.
Overall it's worth the buy,
