Sizing Information

The fit of Alpinestars gloves has a snug fit much like other European brands you know such as REVIT and Dainese. American brands like Joe Rocket, Klim, and Olympia fit more roomy by comparison. The snug fit is not enough to recommend that you buy a larger size (especially if a snug fit is preferred) but it is noticeable enough to say that if you are sometimes between sizes, then you should probably choose the larger of the two. Hopefully, you’ve had some experience with buying gloves and can choose based upon the fit of a previous pair. If you have no previous experience with glove sizing, go here for help.

Our Two Cents

Alpinestars Gareth leather gloves are a good looking leather glove for street riders. They feel secure but aren’t sport styled.

Most of this glove is made of medium weight leather. There are a few stretch zones built in to provide flexibility and a little bit of airflow too. You can see those on both sides of all the fingers, between the thumb and hand, and on the bottom side of the wrist.

The knuckles are fitted with a solid protector below the leather which gives good coverage for the back of the hand. The heel of the hand has one additional bit of padding. The wrist closes securely with a wide Velcro strap which will keep them the gloves on your hands in case of a fall. The cuff extends down the wrist enough to cover your wrist all the way around which will be welcome if your jacket sleeves ride up a bit on the bike so you don’t get sun/windburn.

The overall vibe I get with this glove is “dressy”. It’s got a sleek all-black look and is nicely tailored to fit close to the hand. It has protection features but all are subdued. People who commute should like this style. When you get where you are going, you won’t look too sporty. :: Paul, 06-01-20
