Glove Help
 
I was about to order my new gloves today but just last night I started considering a different glove. Now I need some opinions, theyre both alpinestars but one is basically a 3/4 length glove and the other is a gauntlet. I dont plan on being on a track for at least another season or two, but Im trying to get better protection than the basic JR stuff that I have now. Its between these two...

A* GPX


A* GP Plus

Either will be a good glove.
I wear shorter gloves now for daily riding, I'll pickup some gauntlets for the track though.

it's all personal preferance.

Gauntlet. There is no other choice.

I have some slightly used GP plus gloves I will sell you for cheap. Never crashed in, maybe worn on two rides. That's if your hand is a large. I think I have em around here somewhere.

I was thinkin about those but most gloves that I wear are mediums. You think theyd fit?

Don't know, do you have a local dealership that sells A* gloves. I wear a large in everything they make, so try that.

Ive been lookin but so far the closest one that sells any a* shit is about 2 hours from me. Unless maybe nts knows of one, Ill see if I can find one. I remembered you had those on the other site and that would be awesome if theyll fit.

I'd get the shorter glove if you ride to do errands. You know- gear up, ride, stop, gear off, repeat. My summer gauntlets aren't too bad, but they do take longer to get on and off. Winter (insulated/lined) gauntlets are a bitch because the liner/insulation bunches up.

trip I'll buy those if he doesn't... my bro needs some gloves... he's bumm'n mine right now..

let me varify what size he needs... and I'll get back to ya... (mine are XL's and they were kinda tight on me but they stretched out nicely)

Ive been thinkin that same thing but have been debating since I already have short cuff gloves, they just dont have too much protection on em. The good news is though that I have a little bit of time (til at least next pay day) to decide since I just stumbled across a great deal on the jacket I want (see other thread).

If he wants em and theyll fit theyre his. I have to wait a little bit before I can buy anything since I just found a jacket. Plus Im still pretty sure I will need a medium.
