Awesome gloves but sized small
I love these gloves, they are such a great deal and work really well. The only thing I would warn about is that they seem to be about two sizes smaller that what I would normally order.

Women's Stella Gloves
Overall, I am pleased with my purchase of the Alpinestars Women's Stella Gloves. I bought the gloves during a very good sale, and they seem to be durable. They were a bit snug initially, but have been worn in to a more comfortable fit.

2008 Stella GP Plus Gloves
These run small! I consistently wear a size extra small or small in clothes, so i thought that i would be good with a size small in these gloves. I measured my hand and using the glove sizing chart, i should have fit fine into the small size, but they were too small. Medium fits perfectly. A little pricey, but comfortable and durable.

A+++ for the track!!
After visiting my friends at the track I started looking for a premium quality glove that would offer me as much protection as possible. This glove does not disappoint, though a tad uncomfy at first and quite pricey for my budget... it's definitely worth it. Once you break it in, it becomes like a second skin. Like all unvented/non-perforated leather gloves, it's not very practical to wear them if doing casual street riding in 97 degree weather.

Upgrade from the SP2
I originally purchased the 2009 SP2 model and promptly returned it because it was too tight. I selected this 2008 GP Plus (same price, on sale) and I am super glad I did! These gloves are very comfortable. The external seams are a big plus; you won't be annoyed by seams in the fingers. I wore them on a ride yesterday and it was pretty warm out. These gloves have small perforations between the fingers giving you air circulation to cool down your hands when you spread your fingers apart. I'm very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend them.

Typical Alpinestars quality
I was looking for a good pair of gloves that I could wear both on longer street rides and track days. These gloves definitely fit the bill! The connector between the third and fourth fingers will take some getting used to if you're not accustomed to using only two fingers to brake and pull in the clutch, and I've noticed that they are taking quite some time to break in. I still have some issues with the carbon fiber plate on the little finger of both gloves rubbing on my knuckle--I'm not sure where they intended it to sit, but it's not right for me at all. I'm hoping that will just be a part of the break-in process. Otherwise, these are the kind of high quality gloves I've come to expect from Alpinestars--overall very highly recommended!

Stella GP Plus Gloves
The gloves have a lot of protection; however, the thumb part was chaffing and was too stiff, causing my thumb to go numb.

High Quality & Protective
I love these gloves. They fit well, have great function and form. They are a tad tight, hoping they will stretch a little with some more wear and time. If they don't, I would recommend to others to go up a size larger than you usually wear. Great gloves for the money though!

Love these gloves
My husband got these for me as a birthday present. I was resistant to the gauntlet-style gloves, but he wanted something for me that provided better protection so we decided on these. I love them! They are so comfortable, not at all bulky. My fingers don't feel all bunched up when I ride, and I am easily able to feel the bike's controls. And they look great too! The leather is nice and supple. I would definitely recommend these.

Great for Track Day & Daily Riding
I have not had them for long but I bought them specifically for a track day, and continue to use them. I did not realize how much more protection they had than my previous Dainese gloves. I mean I knew, but I was in denial, because I do love my RS-Yu Lady gloves. Anyway, they take some getting used to as they have armor in them and are a little stiff. They are not summer gloves but summers in Arizona are ovens anyway. Overall, I am in love with them!!! Yay Carbon fiber!!!

Expensive, but good
Two different velcro closures may take a little more time to put on and to take off, but the fit is perfect. Although I haven't been in a crash, I'm pretty sure these gloves won't come off if it ever happens. A bit more than I wanted to pay for them, but then again, how much are my hands worth...?

Stella GP gloves
Love these gloves! 3rd and 4th finger bridge is one of the biggest reasons I went with this glove. Not to mention the carbon fiber knuckle protection, reinforced palms and pinky protection. Wrist closure feature is nice as well; it prevents your hand from coming out of the glove in case of an accident and cold air from coming up your jacket/suit. You won't find a more protective ladies glove than these! Fit is much better than men’s gloves...Slightly smaller palm width and shorter fingers truly give this glove a woman's fit. A little spendy, but worth the money.
