Ok air flow and pretty comfortable. Not sure how well it will hold up in a fall since it is just a single layer of synthetic suede on the palm. All web sites list the materials as synthetic but the tag in the glove lists 40% genuine leather. Upon further inspection it seems that there are a few top pieces made from leather. Not sure why they thought it was needed on the top of the glove rather than the palm.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Very comfortable and warm for my San Francisco commutes. I wear all my gloves with a kevlar liner but even without them these dont leave my hands super sweaty. Tough to find a durable quality glove without leather but this one is pretty much what I was looking for. So far no rain, but certainly warm and comfortable. Sizing seems to be pretty close to the alpinestars gloves i've had.

Besides being a little short (im 6'3'' and I ordered the med long) its a good winter overpant. I use it for commuting over the Bay Bridge into San Francisco every morning between 4 and 5am and wearing them is noticeably warmer and very comfortable. Getting them on and off with my shoes on is only possible if legs are completely unzipped but that feature certainly makes it happen. Although they dont have pockets, the zippers are right over the pockets of my work pants so no big deal. Hasn't rained yet since I got them so no word on that. Honestly my only complaint is the length but im sure that wont be so bad once I get some boots to wear with them.

Not too many non leather alternatives out there that offer any protection at all. This is a great summer glove in general but seems like it might actually provide some protection. Plenty of air flow and pretty good fit and feel. Im sure the lack of lining helps in the ventilation department but feeling the seams, especially around the knuckles, makes it a little uncomfortable. Ill be adding a kevlar liner for comfort and improved protection and currently wear a windproof liner when it gets a little chilly at night. My fingers are a little long so I ordered a size larger than I normally do but it seems to fit about the same as a pair of leather alpine stars race gloves I had a few years ago.

Ive gone through a few cheap helmets and didnt mind settling for garbage padding and vents that were more show than function, but this one is on an entirely different level. Comfortable, stylish, chock full of vents to keep my head cool and for about the same price as previous helmets i've bought. Im sure if you're used to much more high end helmets you could nit pick this one all day but when it comes down to its value you just cant argue. Usually wear a medium and this medium fits a tiny bit snug when new.

Went down on the freeway at about 65mph wearing this jacket and can attest to its durability. The only scratches I got were from the sleeve riding up slightly once I contacted the road surface. I slid almost entirely on my left shoulder and the jacket still had a little bit left in case I had been going a little faster. Not sure if the jacket is really reusable now but it certainly served its purpose. The fit of this jacket is great for an upright riding position but the chest tends to puff out in a more aggressive riding position such as on a sport bike. Without the liner or a sweater underneath the jacket is much looser and somewhat uncomfortable but is very breathable. Otherwise the jacket is fairly comfortable and very stretchy for freedom of movement.
Yes, I recommend this product.

this jacket runs small...not!
PostedOctober 26, 2009
Not sure what every one else is talking about when it comes to the size of this jacket. Ordered it one size larger than what I normally wear only to find that it was WAY too big. Returned it for a size smaller and still dont how large it is. Really bulky in the front where it bulges out when I ride. The neck bulges out to the point where I can tuck my chin inside it while riding. If I dont wear something soft underneath it, the collar and top of the zipper dig into my neck. Will be getting one size smaller than what I normally wear. Maybe its suggested one size up for the typically larger american.
Pros Comfortable, Great Value, Fashionable, Rugged
Yes, I recommend this product.

Are these gloves vegan?
The description states "Clarino palm construction with denim reinforcements for superior abrasion resistance." but in the video Anthony mentions leather trim and inner lining. It seems odd that Alpinestar would use Kevlar, denim and Clarino only to ruin a possible vegan glove alternative with leather trim.
