Alpinestars glove fitment

[Jayspeed]

I bought a pair size XL because thats what fits me with all other brands but it seems for A*'s its a bit tight. Anyone in the same boat? I was thinking about returning them and ordering XXL but I'm not sure if my fingers would then have noodle ends. The fitment issue is the width of the glove. It gets too tight when I make a fist or hold the handlebars.

yep, I buy xl in some but in A* need XXL for my manly hands.

I had to get xxl because of the same fitting problem. They fit great now except the thumb is a little long. Everything else is good though and fit is very good. I think gloves are like helmets and they all fit a bit differently.

they will pop at the seams the first time you need them to work, leaving you with ample room for your XXL hands.

I guess it depends on the style of gloves. I use to wear a medium in alps, but that was the SP-1 glove. When those were shot I wanted to get the GP techs and I heard they ran a size smaller than normal. Of course no shops up here carry anything like that, so I had to chance it. Ordered them in a large and they fit great. I've never tried the techs in medium, but I think they'd be too small.

yes, I'm a medium for almost any glove I've ever tried and I wear a Large astars gp plus gloves.

LOL damn so no good? I got the gp techs.

Thanks guys, I guess the XXL is the way to go if I go A*. Kitt got me thinking now though haha.

Wow, sounds like you have tested these out and had same results everytime. I'll go another route with gloves. Thanks for the info. I've had these Technic carbon gloves for a while now, a couple crashes and a crash from previous owner and still good but now the leather has started to decompose(old), they been through some wet/dry too many times I guess. A* makes 1 hellavah boot and suit though.
