Sizing Information
Like most Alpinestars gloves, these gloves ran a bit smaller than most glove brands we carry. They are not overly small and most people can choose the size they normally wear in gloves (especially if a snug fit is preferred). The tightest portion is the cuff, once you are in they open up a bit. The fingers are even a little longer than average. 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 Celer V3 is an update of the Celer v2 from 2018 and the original Celer from 2014. This glove is an outstanding value for under $100. Its a short cuff design so its practical for everyday riding, but has ample protection you might expect from a more race specific glove style.
The main material used in this glove is goat skin, which is an industry favorite for gloves. It’s thin but strong and work well with perspiration from the hand. There are a few man-made pieces such as the protective strip down the outside of the pinkie side of the hand and also overlay in the palm. The inside of the backhand is lined with 3D mesh for comfort.
The key protective pieces here are the one piece knuckle armor piece and the dense foam protector at the heel of the hand. Some gloves with have a hard slider in the heel of the hand, but the dense foam is comfortable and should give pretty good impact protection if needed.
Most of the glove is perforated so these will work well in warmer weather. Spring, summer and fall will be the best times. They might get toasty on the hottest summer days and they won’t do so well in cold temps.
The wrist closes with a simple Velcro close strap. In a change from previous versions, these gloves do not have the the third/fourth finger bridge found on most Alpinestars gloves these days. Still, these glove offer good overall protection in a simple style that doesn’t break the bank! :: Mike, 03/19/2024
