I am a sport touring rider and enjoy "aggressive" long distance touring. For long hours in the saddle, comfort is absolutely essential. The Alpinestars SMX-2 Air Carbon Gloves fill the bill, then some. The construction and attention to detail is excellent. Engineering is well thought-out. Comfort is very good. The only drawback is the fact that Alpinestars fits on the small side. I am normally a size Large in most gloves, but in the Alpinestars I wear an XL, and even then it's a little snug. I guess that's a European thing. Go figure. Would I purchase these gloves again .... ABSOLUTELY! Would I recommend them to a friend .... WITHOUT A DOUBT! Oh, one more thing ... these glove are really cool-looking and make you look like you ride better than you really do. Girls find them attractive, too. Just sayin'.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Fly FL1 vs. Alpinestars SMX-2 Air Carbon
How do these two compare? I'm looking for a pair of street riding gloves but I have long and narrow fingers (8.5" around knuckles, but 8.25" from wrist crease to tip of middle finger). I tried on the FL1 in an XL and liked the length, but was a little wider than ideal for my hand. Is the AStars a good alternative?
No .. you will find them too snug. The Alpinestars aren't for those with ... ummmm ... plump hands. I highly suggest you look at something in the Held glove line since they offer you greater variety of sizing options, including a "Long" option for those with long fingers.
