Great gloves but I have found that Alpinestar gloves tend to run very small for me. If I go to Home Depot for Garden gloves a large fits fine. My two sets of Alpinestar gloves are both 2XL. I would go up at least one size maybe two. Beyond the sizing issues they are everything you could want in a sport oriented motorcycle glove. I started with a gauntlet style but those don’t work very well with my ADV jacket. I think unless you have a tight cuff race suit or jacket you will be better off with this style without the gauntlet.
The finish is great and the construction cant be beat. Goat skin on the palm with reinforced areas with extra fabric and of course the carborn fiber knuckle, which not only is it a head turner, its light and will protect you if you go down. As others have discussed the fit is on the smaller side so you might want to size up. I wear large on gloves so i order a large mine fit perfectly. Touch screen is nice too. Definitely recommend!
To start off, very airy; they are not meant for cold or even cool weather riding (I don't have the greatest circulation either, so that's a factor also), there is a lot of air flow to the hand with these. I think this is the same with all riding gloves, I have small hands and larges fit me very well, but the stitching on the inside of the glove, as well as the sides of the wrist, does irritate the skin a bit. Otherwise, pretty comfortable, take a little breaking in, but overall good gloves.
These are my 3rd pair of Alpinestars Gloves. I didnt have a problem wit sizing since both my other pair are XXL. These gloves are mostly leather so the fit was snug for a couple days. I didnt wet them just wore them around the house and drove with them on to and from work a couple days. Body heat stretched them out perfectly. Make a fist often to simulate holding ur grips and move ur thumb around for controls. Good Quality my best pair yet.
The only thing I don't like is that there is a sharp edge or something when putting the gloves on that always scratches my hand... I have no idea what it is though and I can't seam to find it... I believe it is the sharp edge of the Velcro strap.
But other then that, they are cool for summer riding and work great!

I like the version 1 better. These gloves looked awesome but that was about it. After months of use, I really like the first version better. The quality of the item is worst then version 1. The tread started to come apart, the Velcro is coming apart, fingertips is starting to fray, comfort us compromised for protection but hurts your hands after a while of riding. $60 should be a decent pair of gloves but this one disappoints me quite a bit from a brand name manufacturer.
I have small hands but the medium fits perfectly with no bunched up material like I get with some brands.
Good feel on the grips while wearing them.
Don’t know why there is a touch screen rating, didn’t think they were made for that and if they are then my pair don’t work for cell phones at all.
Overall very happy with these gloves but I do like the off road versions better because of the thinner material. But the thinner material would not hold up on pavement!
I bought these for bike riding my eMTB in mostly urban areas (streets and parks), nothing too crazy. I wanted something durable that would be protective in the event of a fall onto asphalt. These really do the job, feel very protective, solidly made, great grip, comfortable. Not cheap, but I feel these will last.
About the sizing: I did my hand measurement, which was in the upper end of 'Medium', so that's what I ordered. They do fit, but perhaps a little more snugly than ideal. I probably would go for the 'Large' if/ when I order another pair. I have a feeling that my hands fall right in between the two sizes, so neither size may be absolutely perfect for me. In any case, they aren't restricting my hand or finger movements, and they may in time stretch out a little bit.
Highly recommend these gloves.
Gloves didn't fit well after watching lots of reviews I was expecting these to be good but when I tried them on there was a really annoying fold in the palm of the hand that would pinch a bit if gripped the handlebar. Maybe I could of tried 1 size smaller I might have got away with but my fingers were already pushed right to the ends of the finger tips inside the gloves and I'm pretty sure the fold would still be there in a smaller size it's a shame I'm sticking with my old gloves for now might have to buy instore. It could just be my hands but I read similar reviews since saying they had the same issue. Seller agreed to refund an there were polite and quick to respond asked if I wanted try another size or refund I chose refund I'm confident would have same issue and save time but worryingly it's been a few weeks and 2 messages in that time asking them if everything ok with no reply. Will be looking into Amazon help centre how to get refund I'm concerned with the lack of reply and time that has past. First time ever had any problems Amazon I'm not someone that writes reviews but might be useful info for someone and maybe the shop will see my review and get back to me as to what's happening with my refund.
A little on the small side so I would order up. Will stretch with wear though.
