We normally advise that Alpinestars run “normal” but a bit on the snug side, but these gloves are running unusually small, even for Alpinestars. I’d say they run about one size or even a size and a half smaller than other gloves. I’d recommend you buy one size larger than you normally choose based on your experience with glove brands like Joe Rocket, other Cortech/Tour Master, etc. And if you are sometimes between sizes, choose the larger after going up one size. Example, if you normally wear Med, get a Large. If you are normally a Med or Large, get an XL.
Alpinestars Crazy 8 Gloves
$114.95
The new Alpinestars Crazy 8 gloves offer an "all purpose" design for any type of street rider with retro styling and distressed leather.
The styling of these gloves is a great "all genre" style. They'd look good on a street sport bike as well as a cruiser, and of course on any sort of retro style, such as a Scrambler or Bonneville (or similar). Both the black and brown gloves use a distressed leather finish that add visual age to the styling. The brown points more to the vintage crowd but the black is universal.
These gloves are made of medium weight leather and are lined with a soft tricot nylon material. They are neither insulated and largely un-vented, so consider these for the "mild" months of year. They'd probably do OK in warm weather, but probably not so great in really hot weather. Be sure and heed the sizing advice above... they run a bit snug!
