Alpinestars GP Plus Racing Gloves

Joey_Dude · 11-10-2007, 02:44 PM

I bought the Alpinestars GP Plus Racing Gloves and driven about 300 miles on them so far.

All I have to say is Holy Cow. They may be pretty pricey but oh man they are worth EVERY penny. This is the ONLY glove I've tried on that has a gauntlet and armor that doesn't feel like I'm wearing astronaut gloves. (Think bulky) I looked at the Icon Ti-Max TRX gloves but they're so bulky that I have to take my hand off the handlebar just to use the turn signal.

With those alpinestars gloves I can drive around all day and not get all worn out unlike dealing with bulky gloves. One really nice bonus is that it has a special sticky leather on the area between the thumb and index finger so that it literally glues your hand to the handlebar.

Those gloves get a huge 2

from me. If you are looking for the ultimate blend in comfort AND protection get those gloves!
