These gloves kinda suck.
First off, the thumbs are too short. I got the 2XL gloves, and when trying to work the clutch, I have to account for the gloves being too short. I'm worried that at some point my hand is gonna slip and I'll dump the clutch.
Second, the liner is just loose inside the gloves. this makes it a total PiTA to put the gloves on, because sometimes the liner cooperates, sometimes it does not.
Third, I don't think these gloves would offer much if any protection if you hit the ground. they seem really thin and kinda flimsy. I thought I found a bargain, but it was not the best I ever had.
They are waterproof, however. and the velcro closure is nice..

Great Fall/Spring gloves
I bought these because I have a 3 mile ride to work through the city. They do a good job of keeping out a little cold and light rain. The level of warmth with Alpinestars gloves is directly proportionate to the cost. The only thing "fit" wise that I don't like so much is the slight give between the drystar lining and the palm of the glove. It's only about a 1/2 inch and it's the most noticeable on the throttle hand.
