Good Glove
I've always worn medium gloves so when I got this glove in medium I'd have thought I had made a mistake if I hadn't read the reviews. These gloves are very tight when new. Tight enough to make my left hand hurt. However once they broke in, they were perfect size and are super comfy to wear. It took around a week to really break in, just riding 1-2 hours a day.
I did rate it 4/5 because the velco closure strap. It is small and I can deal with that. However the side on the main part of the glove keeps getting strands pulled out and then those long loops stay hooked to the strap area and can be a pain. I've just been using scissors now and then to trim off these long strands. I don't know how long the velcro will last with this happening but there aren't any patches or noticeable fraying of the velco yet.

Great gloves for the price
Typically a medium with gloves, I reviewed chart and measured that I was a large. Even with the large it is a VERY tight fit. I feel that two sizes up would have been much better. With the large even squeezing the handlebars made my hands sore within an hour. Hoping they will loosen up (so far so good).
The Velcro clasp is rather small and flimsy, and does not seem to stick well. I feel like this will be the first to go on the gloves, but not for at least some time.

Love them except for the closure straps
I went by the size chart and ordered a medium, they fit well but a bit tight at first but the break in wasnt so bad. Had some people with bigger hands wear then and squeeze their fists, and then I rode with them a couple hours.
Now that theyre broken in and comfortable I must say the closure strap sucks. Its small and doesnt have edges to grab onto and mine started pulling apart from the velcro. Wish they put more effort in the design.
All in all I really like them, would defo give 5 stars if the closure strap was better!

Great gloves after 3 months of near daily usage
I purchased these gloves when I needed motorcycle gear, and after using cheaper options on ATV for years I can say that the difference is night and day.
I’m not a safety expert, but I can say anecdotally that these glove feel far safer, and far more durable than any glove I have used in the past. Others I have worn have been an annoying interface between me and my controls, but these feel like an extension of my hand. I never get exhausted griping the bars, I never have trouble grabbing the levers, and they feel far safer and more durable in a crash than anything I’ve worn.

Amazing!
Best gloves for the value, quality and price, something simple for your daily commutes. Would definitely recommend this to someone who’s looking for their first pair of gloves. I am currently using these gloves on my CBR250R if that matters.

Nice mesh gloves for the price
I purchased these locally after my other mesh gloves got lost during a move. I haven’t had much success with Alpinestars gloves fitting properly before, but these are good. Nice airflow and great dexterity. They are a little too tight before breaking them in, after a few days they are good. 4 stars instead of 5 because I kind of doubt they will last super long, maybe I will be wrong.

I made a mistake buying this one it’s not because I don’t like the gloves it’s just I regret not buying a gauntlet. Overall this pair of gloves is awesome!

Not bad gloves overall. Used them for couple hours at a time and thought of them as good until I took a half day ride and got blisters on the right palm. Palm paddings are not there. Palm area of the glove wrinkles and creates pressure points. Okay for short rides, might be uncomfortable for long.
