Extensions of motorcycle gloves
Often summer motorcycle gloves don't have them but all others do. It's the part which goes over your sleeve to avoid wind blowing in your jacket. A disadvantage is that rain can run down your sleeve and into your glove. Still the advantage is better, just tuck away the glove extensions under your jacket during the rain.

Sunshades of Scorpion Motorcycle Helmets
Sunshades of Scorpion Motorcycle Helmets
A low hanging sun can blind you to the extreme. Some motorcycle helmets have a nice sunshade built into them, very useful. However a pair of sunglasses does the same trick, you choose.

Buying the right size of Alpinestars Alloy Gloves
What do the Alpinestars Gloves bring to the table? Well they are deerskin road gloves which are designed with comfort in mind so the usual ventilation is provided as you’d expect from all Alpinestars gloves. The palm is made from deerskin with additional reinforcements throughout the glove made from leather. The knuckles are protected with molded leather with a flexible open-back design.
As I’ve mentioned a few times with Alpinestars gloves you may have problems with sizing. The Alpinestars SP-1 gloves seem to be OK in this respect but the Alpinestars gloves seem to suffer from the same sizing issues. I usually buy a medium size to fit my hands but these gloves are a little smaller made than normal. The fit is quite snug at first but with wear and tear they loosen off to be a bit more of a comfortable fit. You really need to go in to a store selling Alpinestars gloves to get a proper feel as to what size will fit your hands. If you feel that the fit is too snug then why not go for a size bigger than you normally wear. Always keep in mind that the gloves will loosen off with wear so don’t buy gloves that are too big. The other issue I had with these gloves is that sometimes the ventilation works a little too well leaving my hands cold. You may find that in certain temperatures these gloves aren’t completely suitable for your needs. The last thing you want is to be speeding down the road with your hands like icicles. So again I would take a look in store and see if these gloves are for you. They are much cheaper than the Alpinestars GP Tech gloves I reviewed earlier. The great thing about the Alloy gloves is that there is a matching jacket to go with the gloves is you’re a fashion conscience biker. You get gloves and the jacket to match your outfit.
In conclusion the Alpinestars gloves are a good buy but make sure you try them out in store first. I also recommend that you don’t leave them lying around especially if you’re biking around Italy!

Alpinestars Alloy Gloves
Alpinestars Gloves are another fine additional to the Alpinestars gloves range. I personally own a pair of these gloves and can testify to their durability and value for money. I actually bought these gloves back in 2006 along with the matching Alloy jacket. They lasted me over 3 years before I had to get a new pair. Well that’s actually a lie. The true story is that I lost them on a biking trip to Italy. I had saved up the whole summer to ride through Europe with my final destination set to be Italy. I couldn’t wait to go on the trip and feel the warm sun beating down on me as I rode through the wonderful cities on offer. Anyway to cut a long story short I think someone stole my gloves when I stopped for some lunch. I didn’t leave them long and by the time I came back someone was off with them. So I guess that’s a good recommendation for the Alpinestars Gloves that someone’s willing to go to the lengths of actually stealing them because they are so desirable.
New features of Alpinestars SP-1
The main difference I have noticed with the Alpinestars motorcycle gloves is with the finish. Incidentally these gloves are also marketed as Alpinestars gloves just in case you were wondering they are the same thing! So the finish, compared to the Alpinestars gloves or Alpinestars GP Tech gloves the finish is a bit cheap. You may find that there are long threads hanging or the leather has not quite been cut to the fit you would expect. I guess Alpinestars can get away with it since its been marketed as a mid range glove. If you can live with the inferior finish then there is no reason not to buy these gloves. They will provide you with an excellent level of protection and come at a fantastic price. The cheapest I have seen the Alpinestars SP1 gloves are about $100 and its a great bargain at that price.
Alpinestars gloves are also on the market. You’ll also find them listed as Alpinestars SP-2 gloves and are very similar to the SP1 model but are even cheaper.
The SP-1 range also come in Alpinestars gloves Stella SP-1 format which is directed completely at the female market. It’s touted as having a cut specifically to fit a ladies hand and so it will fit much better.

Alpinestars SP-1 Gloves
Most of the Alpinestars gloves I have looked at so far have been pretty much at the top of the range. I hope I haven’t scared anyone off with the cost of these gloves. There are so called mid ranged biking gloves out there if that’s what you’re after. I know not everyone has $300 to spend on a pair of gloves so if you’re looking for that Alpinestars quality but your budget doesn’t quite stretch that far how about going for the Alpinestars gloves? They are aimed at general road use, you won’t catch any of the big named MotoGP stars using them but then hey how many of us are going to get to that level? Not me I know that much! Don’t let the ‘mid-range’ tag full you into thinking that you’re buying an inferior product though. They are stunning looking gloves and will provide you with an exceptionally high level of protection no matter what type of vehicle you’re on.
The Alpinestars motorcycle gloves are constructed from leather and the thickness of the leather varies from point to point on the gloves. Obviously the areas which require most protection have the thickest area of leather. Kevlar is also present which acts as additional abrasion resistance for that top quality protection. The knuckles are made up of carbon fiber and carbon fiber sliders are also present and correct on the fingers. As standard on the Alpinestars gloves these days is the ventilation holes to let a little air in to your hands for those long summer rides. These are present on the fingers and the wrist area. The wrist gauntlet is also rather familiar as it is the standard dual Velcro closure. The fit of these gloves is excellent and comes in various different sizes so you should find a pair to suit your needs. It is possible to get small Alpinestars gloves as I know this is a common query especially with the Alpinestars Alloy Gloves.
