DO NOT BUY
Not even remotely weatherproof, for any season. DO NOT BUY.
The fit:
- Finger length is great, like other alpinestar models
- Finger width is too narrow: with their bulky layers, the gloves quickly cut off circulation painfully when your fingers are curved or gripped around anything
- The cuff is TERRIBLE. there's no stretch in the material at all, and the cuff is extremely narrow. I have slender, rectangular hands and even I have trouble shoving my hands into them dry. Wet, it's almost impossible. It's not that I bought a size too small: my summer gloves fit fine and they're the same size, and if I went a size up in these, the palm and fingers would be too big all over
Features: LIES. Don't fall for it.
- They're not waterproof. In fact, they suck up water like a sponge.
- They're not windproof or wind resistant at all--even in spring and on cool summer days, my hands quickly got chilled from the breeze even in dry weather while riding before even leaving the city speeds
- They're not warm, either: wind rips right through them, and combined with any wet, my hands were frozen in summer above 15C, even riding within the city below 50km/h. For a quick 10 minute ride in the city in *dry* 5C, my hands were just as cold. Combined with the bulky materials cutting off circulation in the fingers at creases, even just to wear them around outside off the bike wouldn't be great.
