Review on βœ‹ Alpinestars Men's SP-8 v2 Leather Motorcycle Glove: Sleek Black/White Design in Size Small by Carlos Macy

Revainrating 2 out of 5

ZERO PALM PROTECTION

πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž Happy to receive my new pair of quality Alpinestar gloves. At least that's what I thought. They, they felt good. kinda cheap but then I was staring at WHAT? FOAM SEAL!?! No hard slider, no leather patch. nope FOAM only. Not good. Put them back in the box and don't look back. Seriously, if you slide your palm down at say 80mph, the glove has no choice but to disintegrate. And you'll slide a lot further than 30-50 feet if you're going out at 80 mph. Can help if you crash at 20-30mph. More speed than that and you don't have to worry! It's literally 1/4 inch of protruding foam. No slip protection. What a joke. They offer maybe 40% protection. As for my hands, they will continue to buy. Take a look at the Cortechs Apex gloves. in short, in the defense department. πŸ™

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Some little things
