Confortable, but fingertips are velcro sensitive!
By Adenilson Cavalcanti
Pros: comfortable, well ventilated and nice looking! (specially the carbon fiber is quite cool). I've used it in a 260KM (161m) ride and it is really comfortable.

Cons: finger tips (more precisely the back of fingertips) is made of a fabric that will suffer if in contact with velcro! I imagine that with time it will probably tear, this is why I'm giving 3 stars. My motorcycle has saddlebags with velcro as also my leather jacket pockets. If you consider that this is not an 'el cheapo' glove from an unknown brand, it is certainly a huge flaw in the design.

I have big hands, but not enormous, and the X-Large was a tight fit (initially I assumed that 'Large' would be good enough but changed my mind in the last minute). The feeling of handlebar and throttle doesn't change sensibly using this gloves, which is a good thing.

It is *not* water proof, better suited for a sunny summer ride.

Few hours of riding, and the thing tore up
By Lousky
I bought them 2 months ago, and I ride about 10KM per day (20 minutes per day). After two weeks, the fingers' shield of the left glove just fell...
After another two more weeks, the flexible strip on the back of the left glove, tore up as well.
The thing is that I just wear them for a routine home-to-work ride, which is eventless and very calm.
Bottom line - i'm very disappointed, i had higher expectations from alpinestar equipment.

Nice but coming apart within one year.
By B. Long
Bought these in June 2011 and one glove started to come apart at the seam under the end of my right palm. The gloves look really cool but I expect more durability from the pricey Alpine Stars. Actually this is the second set of AS gloves that have given me problems (the previous ones had huge internal seams that would press into your skin. I gave them away. I hope Alpine Stars step up their quality.
