Absolutely amazing glove
Super comfortable, solid feeling glove. They're expensive, but you get what you pay for. Went down on a low-side last season and protection is second-to-none. Do note, however, that these gloves do fit smaller than other Alpinestars gloves (and similar brands). I also have a pair of the GP Tech gloves and have had other comparable brands as well, all of which I have worn in size 2XL. Based on other reviews I had read online about the Supertech gloves, I decided to go with the 3XL and they fit perfectly...snug...actually a little tighter than the 2XL GP Tech's, in fact. Not just a smaller fit, they have a better contour than other gloves I've worn and I find them to be very comfortable to wear, like they were sewn from a mold of my own hand...but for a whole day riding out on the street, you may prefer something a little more forgiving/looser, as they do start to feel a little tight/constraining after a while, I find. But keep in mind, top-notch protection on the track is what these gloves were made for, not cruising comfort.
