Alpinestar SP-S Gloves

[Virus_Of_Life]

I figured my luck of wearing nothing but a thin pair of cotton running gloves was going to run out soon so I just purchased a pair of these at a local retailer. They feel pretty good so far, given I haven't ridden yet with them so I will post more after I give them some miles.

Again, I hate to sound like a broken record, but the retailer was selling them for the same price as newenough and mc-s, but with my 20% off coupon for recently completing my MSF course they were way cheaper! Check out at least a store or two before you decide online is the cheapest only way to go. :thumbsup:

I just bought a pair at a Kawasaki dealer that were $20 less than new enough.

Sounds like to me newenough sucks on these gloves!

After wearing them for a few days now, especially today for an hour ride at freeway-ish speeds I have to say I like them. My throttle hand gets tired, but that has always been happening and I think it is just because I need to figure out how to not put so much pressure on it.

Well, I like these a lot, but they are not going to cut it for cold weather. I hate to buy another pair of gloves since I dropped a good chunk on these, but I can't have my fingers non-functional when I stop somewhere from them getting so cold in the wind...

um.....get used to gloves? and rex, blaming NE isn't the issue here.....NE is great for what they do. it's never YOUR fault for buying an item that doesn't fit.....

virus.....iono about you, but when it gets COLD, I stop here and there to warm my hands/gloves up on my exhaust......maybe eletric gloves or grips are what you're looking for???

I'd prefer not to go the electric route, I gotta think there is something wind resistant enough to do ok in weather down to 40 degrees? That is about as low as it gets here that I would ride in.

Just to reiterate and clarify for my review portion these gloves really are not good for anything colder than a mild cool evening. I rode in about 50-55 degree chill and my hands were so cold it took about 5 minutes to get that warm enogh to function afterwards.
