tight
I ordered xxxl, I don’t consider my hands as big as a basketball star. These are tight getting on. If you know you have big hands, these are not for you. I liked them when riding. I just look funny trying to put them on. Maybe I’ll stretch the stitches in.

Awesome gloves, worth every penny
These gloves are a HUGE improvement over my old cheaper ones. At first I thought they were too small because they were super tight, but they stretched out perfectly and allow every bit of flexibility my hands need for hard riding but are very well built and feel extremely protective. I would definitely buy again and recommend to others.

These are great gloves; they fit well, a lot of protection. These gloves do not feel restricting, allow normal movement. An overall great buy.

Great gloves
Good fit and as described, one size larger than normal. I normally wear an XL in gloves and I ordered a XXL with a perfect fit. The gloves are initially tight at the wrist but loosen up well. Great protection.

Awesome Glove
The glove fit perfect. Perfect protection and very comfortable. This is however not an everyday riding glove. You don't have much feeling towards the throttle and clutch, therefore you should only this type of glove for racing. When I took this glove to the track, it is a different story. Over all I love this glove, too bad I can't use it everyday though.

Alpinestars - SP-1 Gloves
These are great gloves, if you are looking for a quality gauntlet glove at a very reasonable price.

Great Gloves
I tried on many gloves before I settled on this one. They run a little on the small size. I'm regularly a large on most items but I had to get an extra large for the glove to fit right. It's still pretty tight in the wrist joint and I'll have to stretch them to make them quick to get on and off. I'm not a huge fan of the double cuff closure abd the wrist closure is redundant considering the wrist is so tight. Overall though I really like these gloves and hope that if I do "get off" they will perform as good as I suspect.
I WOULD BUY THESE AGAIN.

Alpiestars SP-1 Gloves
I got a pair of these and although they are sweet gloves, they fit super small. I am 6'2" average build guy and my hands aren't huge. I started with XL, too small, sold em to a friend. Then I got XXL, still too small. I finally got XXL and they ALMOST fit. The thumb area is too short but it will stretch. These are nice gloves, the 3 velcro system is nice, the SP-2's only have one, so if you are commuting, the 3 take a little more time to put on. I recommend them but get em a size too big.

Excellent Glove
First off, I normally wear a small (size 8) in most gloves, but based on the fact that most reviewers here said these run small and to order up one size, I ordered the medium (black/white.) Well, these fit....like a glove! There is no way that a small would have fit. The mediums fit a little snug, but will be perfect once broken in. The quality/worksmanship is excellent. The white/black look exceptional. The wrist strap and dual cuff closure will ensure that these gloves will not come off of your hand. For someone wanting a high quality guantlet style glove that offers protection and style for a fair price, you won't find much better than this; just order a size up from your normal size.

The SP-1 is one of the nicest gloves I've ever owned! I recommend them to all riders! Motorcycle Superstore is also one of the easiest sites to use on the web!

SP-1 Gloves
Like most people say, the gloves seem to be a little small and definitely need to be broken in for a while. Sizing I am probably right between a medium and large, so I bought these in a large. The quality seems very good and hopefully like most people I won't have to test the features of the glove.

Get these gloves!
Although there was a brief time to break in the gloves. Once they were broken in they felt like a glove, No really no complaints at all about the gloves.

great pair of gloves
After you break them in they definitely fit like a glove. Great pair of gloves. I rated the durability as a 4 because I have only had them a couple of weeks but so far they are holding up great. I used to go with another brand but now it's all Alpinestars. I went with 1 size up than I normally wear and that worked fine for the fit

Good Gloves
I'm going to be buying my second pair of these.. the new 08 model. They performed well in all conditions and are quite comfortable once they get broken in. My only complaint is that they were toast after 8k miles on the clock last year. I wore holes in them and some of the stitching had decided to let go near the end. Love em though! Thumbs up.

Nothing but good things....
I really like this glove because all the protection it offers and it has vents in all the right places. It's a little tight around the knuckles at first but give it a week and it fits like a glove(pun intended).

Great Gloves!!
The gloves run a little tight, but will stretch out. Nice leather construction with carbon fiber knuckle protection is great to keep your hands from harms way. Overall I would say these are great gloves that offer good protection.

Awesome Gloves!
Out of all of the Alpinestars gloves, these were the ones that had the truest fit. Great protection and good range of movement even in the pinky area that seems to get tight with most other gloves. Double strap at the arm and another strap below the wrist for secure fit.

Order one size up!
Awesome gloves. I normally take a Lg, but needed an X-Lg for the correct fit. Exchange was easy, and the gloves are great looking and fitting. Alpinestars make the best stuff.

Big hands...big gloves.
Awesome gloves at a great price. Racy looks and features. Beautifully made. Excellent fit and finish. Beware, everything from Alpinestars is sized small. Typically I would take a Medium-Large glove. I ordered a Large and it was too small! Returned for an Extra-Large that fit perfect! Return was easy, but I really don't have XL hands.
