Alpinestars GP Plus gloves

[TYEster]

I have the GP Techs...

And personally, I'd rather have different gloves. I needed some full gauntlets, and I found em used on Craigslist, brand new almost, with the tag still on them. I tried em for like 10sec and decided they were good enough for the price. $100 for brand new $275+ gloves. Well after actually wearing and riding in them, I don't like em that much. The thing I don't like most is the hard plastic wrap-around for your wrist/over jacket. It's a bitch to take on and off while at a trackday. And it took like SEVERAL hours of riding in them to break them in.

Hopefully you're Plus' will offer a little more comfort in the long run.

Hell I used the Techs for a month and they still didn't break in. Also I didn't like the external stitching because of how the little edge of extra leather makes your fingers hard to move independantly.

The only thing the plastic gauntlet is good for is keeping the glove open when you're not wearing it so that it dries out.
