Mike Fairfax,  VA Love them I've had these gloves for a month. They're a little tight, but I like that about these. I definitely think these will help save my hands in a crash and even on a 90 degree day my hands were cool riding down the road. I learned to ride in these and trust them.

carlos antunez el paso,  TX involved in motorcycle accident I bought the Icon "Regular" size vest first. Its to small for my 5'9" 190lb frame. It will not accompany an added leather jacket. So I bought a second "Super" size vest. This is the one for you if you match my size. The vest is highly reflective and an asset for riding here in the country side where there are no street lights. I highly recommend this vest to those who want to be seen!

JD Boston,  MA Great Gloves I've only used them for a week so I don't know how durable they are. So far, they fit great and offer excellent feedback while on the throttle.

Ted Estarija Haywayd,  CA Alpine SPS These are the best fitting gloves ever. And surprisingly, 99% of the riders I see feel the same. I'm from the bay area and been riding most of my 39 year life. As with most riders do, we always compare riding gear with others. Sure enough, many riders I come across have the same glove. I also notice that the more popular these gloves got, the higher the price got. I remember getting them for $50. Now, you can't get them cheaper than $80.

Jason N. Tonawanda,  NY Gloves I bought the X-Large pair thinking they would be ok, but I found out that I should have bought an XXL. They are just not stretching good enough and they are already started to deteriorate on the thumbs.

Dan Santa Rosa,  CA Favorite Gloves... so far My third pair of gloves via mail order. After I realized that Alpinestars are undersized, I ordered these up in XL (I wear a L in everything else, from ski to MTB gloves). Really like that they're a bit tougher than the lightest street gloves, with two layers of leather where needed and good knuckle & wrist protection. They look awesome, nice carbon velcro straps. Even with XL's they're a little tight, but I'm still very happy with the purchase.

chris cochran st. louis,  MO SPS GLoves...great gloves strange fit. I have had these gloves for about a month now and put about 800 miles on them. They are well constructed and sturdy gloves. I really like the styling and they seem to be wearing strong. The only downside I can find is...I have fairly normal sized hands with standard proportions. I wear a size large. These gloves fit me very well for length and through the palm and top of the hand....however, the fingers are tight. They seem like a really small diameter and fit tight around the finger with appropriate length. It seems a little weird. They are stretching out with wear but still are very snug, bordering on uncomfortable for longer rides (2+ hours). Otherwise, I love them. Hoping they will continue to stretch and get more comfortable as they break-in.

Joe Bozeman,  MT Like 'em I wanted a glove with decent protection without the gladiator look. I chose to pay a little more and get the SPS. I really like the potential protection, the palm feels beefy without being thick and the full leather coverage on the fingers is nice. They are very flexible and feel good on the hand grips. My only complaint is the thumb is a little short for my hand; hopefully it will stretch some with time.

Baghr Southern,  IA Good Fit, Great Features I have a wider palm and medium/short fingers, and the medium seems to fit about perfect for me in finger length. The feel is tight but not too restricting. Getting it over the wide part of you hand takes a little work, and is amplified if sweaty. From the pictures, I figured this glove would be a lot heavier and stiff that it was, but it's good from the start and no break in time necessary. No bunching in the palm area, and has a good responsive feel. Overall armor is good, with padding on the back of the hand exceptional. This is not a race glove, but is perfect for daily riding. I would buy these again, and consider these about the perfect daily rider glove in medium to hot weather.

James Arlington,  VA A great option for a short glove These gloves are fairly heavy, yet are comfortable and provide good feel. Many people consider only abrasion protection when looking at gloves, but it is important to also consider impact protection. The padding on the back of the hand is very substantial on these gloves and should work well.
