Sizing Information
Like most Alpinestars gloves, these gloves run a bit smaller than most glove brands we carry. They are not a lot small and most people can choose the size they normally wear in gloves (especially if a snug fit is preferred). If you are sometimes between sizes, then 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
The SP-8 Air Gloves are new for 2021 and are a slightly more breathable version of the “v3” version. I’d encourage you to check out the V3 version as well. This glove has a few panels on the back of the hand with flow through material, so it will be favored by those who plan on riding in the warmest weather. Value is a key feature of this glove since it is a full gauntlet design for sport/street or amateur racing for under a hundred bucks.
Just like the V3 version, there are a number of key features offered in this glove which are: 1) a small Velcro close tab at the wrist to secure the gloves on your hand in case of a fall; 2) a sturdy molded knuckle armor unit with nice padding on the back side for comfort; 3) A longer gauntlet with Velcro adjustment for size to work with various jacket sleeve designs (over or under); 4) Extra padding in the heel of the hand with with an overlay of suede material; 5) connection between the pinkie and the fourth finger to help reduce injury to the pinkie.
Overall, a very nice glove and a great value. Only one color choice is offered. :: Paul, 08-03-21
