So I bought these gloves about a month ago for the upcoming track season. They look awesome and have a lot of really valuable tech features to keep you safe.

My MAJOR gripe with these gloves is that within a month the internal seam on my left pointer finger came undone and now my finger is essentially exposed. For a $200 pair of gloves the stitching should be MUCH MUCH MUCH more durable.

I have other A*'s gloves and always go with medium, so I ordered these in medium as well. When they showed up they were SUPER TIGHT, like, barely get my hand in them takes 15 minutes to put them on tight. I seriously considered sending them back for the next size up, but decided "These will totally break in" and im really happy I made that call. After 2 track days ( 1 of them in the wet) they fit absolutely perfect. The quality is awesome, 4th finger bridge makes my pinky feel safe, flow air like they have built in AC. Solid glove, and for around $200 bucks they're an awesome deal for what you get. Would recommend these to anyone.

AlpineStars sizing chart is for Italian midgets. I'm 6' 180, a typical US male. I wear a large in just about everything, except AlpineStars products. I sized my hands and was between a large and XL, so I went up a size. Got'em and the XL's were still too small. Reordered a XXL and it fits snug. If you order these, go up at least one size possibly two and save yourself the return hassles. As for the glove they are great! No complaints. Great quality, fit and finish.

They fit a bit small but lucky for me still fit my hand perfect. You might want to order a size up if you're not used to wearing Euro brands.

After a few hours of riding I've noticed my pinky getting sore and not really sure why. It wasn't just me because my friend also wore them and noticed the same after a few hours and commented on it.

My only real issues with these gloves is the wrist strap which is the small thin strap to fit it better is pretty tight and makes it a hassle putting on and taking off he gloves. It takes me a few minutes rather than 30 seconds to take them off and vice versa, but once they're on they're not coming off lol

Look fantastic and your hands feel protected and that's enough to make me keep them. Hopefully they give these gloves a slightly longer wrist strap on the next update.

I got these because I own the GP Plus gloves and liked them. I'm starting to take more track days so I needed a gauntlet style glove, figured these would suffice. I'm impressed with the amount of airflow these get compared to the GP Plus, but the fitment is tight. They fit decent but there's a god awful pinch point on both pinkies that almost make glove unbearable. It must be an added stitch or knot in that area. After 20min of riding the pain goes away. Didn't experience the same discomfort with GP Plus and its the same size glove.

Crashed the first time I wore these, so I thought it would be a great review opportunity.

The bad: I am pretty sure Astars changed their glove fitment in 2016, but that can be debatable. I also think they changed suppliers, but who knows. Fact is, these run small. I only wear Astars track gear. I always wear large gloves. I ordered these in large and they were so small I could barely make a fist. The plastic was digging in everywhere, no bueno. Ordered the XL, still really tight but within break-in range. So beware of that. Order a size up.
Second, the velcro wrist strap is small. I have to have it the very maximum it will open just so I can get my hand through. To get it there I have to move the metal d-ring past where it should stop. This takes a little flick to clear the velcro material. Sounds like a petty thing, but it's a thing. It's annoying.
Third, and this relates to break in: The rubberized slider on the outside of the pinky is pretty stiff out of the box. The glove wants to bend, but that slider doesn't and it is a little painful. While it was raining over the past week, I just worked it and bent it over and over again while working or watching TV. It loosened up and now it is fine. Just know that little piece in particular requires some break in.

The Good:
1: I lowsided at about 45mph while making a 90 degree corner. The gloves held up way better than I thought they would. The palm slider was in the perfect position to absorb the impact and disperse it in a slide. Nothing ripped. The gloves stayed together perfectly. The only thing that got tore up is the over-cuff wrap (it is a dual closure system, so the outside wrap. Inside wrap was untouched). The yellow came off and the black binding tore off too. BUT it is the part under the wrist so it doesn't even show, and I just fixed the binding with a bit of electrical tape. Structurally fine. Good as new.
BONUS: The crash helped the break in...so there is that. :)

Second: They look awesome and are very high quality.

Third: Feel. The palm and fingers have exceptional feel and the leather is flawless. Very nice quality.

Fourth: Air flow. These have very good ventilation. Even behind hand guards (on the supermoto which I crashed) and my ZX6R.

Overall. great gloves. I went with these over the GP Pro R2 because the softer gauntlet. I ride supermoto a lot, and I need a little bit of a softer gauntlet riding with elbows up and positioning my body over the bike instead on the inside (arm-to-wrist orientation is not the same as sport bikes). And for road courses on the ZX6R, they will still offer great protection as they have already demonstrated.

I LOVE these gloves and have no complaints what so ever. like all Astars gloves they fit on the small size but that is to be expected.

One piece of information I would like to pass along to those considering these gloves is with regards to colors. The color listed as florescent red should simply be listed as orange. Im sure revzila has to list the descriptions that the supplier gives and can't deviate. I bought these gloves in the florescent red combo not noticing a difference between the two different reds on my computer screen. As always Revzila to care of me and got these switched out ASAP and provided exceptional customer service along the way!!!

Florescent Red=Orange.

Gloves are wonderful - very stylish- a bit snug- especially with sweaty hands but otherwise very happy with product. Will definitely recommend

I bought this gloves upon previous experiences with Alpinestars gloves... Its an extremely snug fit, a bit short in the fingers and too long in the thumb. My initial reaction was that the gloves were too small but upon riding with it, it felt comfortable and my hands felt protected. I recommend these gloves for full Track use. Casual street riding won't be recommended for this gloves.. Overall not a bad gloves thus far.

Bought Alpinestars GP Plus. Used them for trackdays. Got few drops of rain on them, top seams broke, have 2 fingers out. Previously had SP8 gloves, 3 fingers out after several weeks. Brand name playing!
