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

    I have same gloves. After 10k miles, they still feel great and more importantly have held up very well. Worth the cost.

    I have these gloves as well. Great gloves and short break-in period. Still are perfect after a year.

    I have the GP Pro gloves and thought I would only use them at the track. Not so! I wear them every time I ride.

    Again, as with my recent X11 helmet purchase, I was kidding myself when I thought it was foolish to spend the money on GOOD gear.
