Poor Quality
Originally, I had purchased the first version of the celer gloves (owned for less than 4 months, put on about 5k kms). Loved the fit, broke in beautifully however the leather on the inside of both palms began to disintegrate. The left glove stitching near the wrist strap started to run until the point that there was a hole the size of a toonie... I returned them as they were within my warranty (fortnine gave me the run around). Fast forward, I ordered a new pair, same size now V2 model; out of the box, the stitching is already coming apart on the inside of the left hand. The inside of the right glove on the knuckle protector portion; the stitching or the plate is put together in a way that it digs into and chafes the top of my right hand, again having worn the glove for no more than a minute, it causes extreme discomfort. I'm disappointed with Alpinestars quality. I will no longer be purchasing their products, just too many quality control issues across the board.

good glove
got the xxl .fits a bit loose but i have wide hands so the xl would have been too much of a struggle.they are very well ventilated ,so much so that if it gets chilly at night they will be too cold
, when making a fist ,braking or shifting you will feel the plastic knuckles against your own creating some discomfort ,not enough padding under the plastic knuckles.
no rubber inserts on fingertips so they are very slippery so the clutch could slip out of your fingers .
the only plus is the touch screen compatibility.if you do not care about touch screen get the Dainese Mig C2 Gloves it is much more comfortable and a better design ..i have both and selling the Celer V2 to get Black Dainese Mig C2 Gloves

Poor fit
The glove fit poorly, and the knuckle plate dug into my knuckles in a painful way when making a fist. Build quality seemed a little cheap, but the gloves are fairly cost effective, so that didn't bother me a lot. It seems like the knuckle plate is one size, and is installed on all sizes of gloves. The XL pair I tried on seemed the knuckle plate was too big.
Fit was standard alpinestars. I'm typically a L in most american gloves, and I always wear XL in alpinestars

Malgré les quelques commentaires négatifs que j’avais vus sur ces gants j’ai tenté le coup et je suis agréablement surpris de mon achat, les gants ont un super look et la qualité me satisfait amplement, je les rachèterais sans hésiter!

A nice pair of gloves!!!
I bought these gloves 3 months ago. I used them for 1600km of riding this season so far and they are great gloves. The thumb is a little bigger than it should be on the gloves but other than that they are awesome. They look great and feel great. I have had no issues with the knuckle part digging in or any other issues mentioned by others. I have used them in the rain about 6 times. They are great gloves for when the weather is nice but will still do the job when a little wet. Your hands will get cold a bit if it's under 10 degrees Celsius and you are going over 100km per hour but it's bearable.

Too tight at the nuckles!
I bought these last month based on Internet reviews. I have a fairly large hand so I bought the Large to make sure it would not put lateral pressure on my hands.
The size is good (though for some reason the middle left finger is shorter than the right hand (my hands are symmetric sizes BTW).
The material is of quality and the seems are sturdy enough to make this a good glove.
The issue I have with these is that the plastic knuckles push in from the inside of the glove, so when you are riding for a longer period it actually hurts to hold on to the bar.
I tried to return them after riding with them for only an hour, but Fortnine doesn't refund articles that are "worn".
Be sure to wear them for at least an hour with a closed fist before taking them out on the road or risk losing your money to an uncomfortable glove.

No padding under knuckles!
There is no padding under knuckles. It hurt so much after a ride. I thought it’s because they were new. Even after 5 rides, it was still the same.
They removed the wrist protection that was previously on 1st celer, the padding inside under the knuckles is inexistant. I don’t recommend the Celer V2, the previous version was way better.
