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!
