Pros

1. High-quality construction with full grain leather and polymer knuckle protection for durability and protection.

2. Enhanced grip and durability thanks to the microfibre and PU insert on the palm and thumb, making these gloves perfect for high-performance riding.

3. Comfortable fit with pre-curved fingers to reduce fatigue, padded EVA foam for additional protection, hook-and-loop wrist adjuster to ensure a secure fit, and touchscreen compatibility so you never have to take them off while using your devices.

Cons

1. The gloves may not be suitable for extremely cold weather conditions, as they are designed primarily for grip and protection rather than warmth.
2. The touchscreen feature may not work well with all types of screens, so users may need to experiment or adjust their touch sensitivity settings in order to use it effectively.
3. Some users with larger hands or thicker fingers might find the sizing chart somewhat limiting, as measurements are based solely on palm circumference and do not take into account other factors such as finger length or overall hand size.

Hey there fellow riders! I’ve been testing out the Alpinestars SP-5 Leather Gloves and let me tell you, these gloves are top-notch.

First off, the full grain leather construction is not only durable but also looks great. The polymer knuckle protection provides an added layer of safety without sacrificing comfort or mobility.

The microfibre and PU insert on the palm and thumb really enhance grip strength and durability for those longer rides. And speaking of long rides, the pre-curved fingers help reduce fatigue so you can keep going for longer periods of time.

But it’s not just about protection – these gloves are also incredibly comfortable with their EVA foam padding on both the palm and fingers. Plus, they’re touchscreen enabled so you don’t have to take them off every time you need to use your phone.

Don’t forget about that hook and loop wrist adjuster which allows for a secure fit no matter what size your hands are. Just make sure to measure your palm circumference before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

Overall, I highly recommend giving these gloves a try if you’re looking for something that balances style, comfort, and safety in one package.
