Sizing Information
The fit of Alpinestars gloves are very consistent from one model to the next. And overall, they fit a bit small as compared to other brands we carry such as FirstGear, Tour Master, etc. It’s 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
The Alpinestars Diesel Shotaro Gloves are a lightweight “urban” style motorcycle glove. They offer a molded knuckle protector and extra padding in the palm.
This glove will be ideal for fair and mild weather use. The back of the hand is a stretchy fabric that will breathe well and the palm is made of a synthetic leather material with a neat printed geometric shape. The glove has a little longer cuff so it will cover your wrist and keep you from getting a sunburn if your shirt/jacket sleeve is a bit short.
I tried to figure out what the number and letter, etc mean. The only thing I could figure out is that the styling is part of a partnership between Alpinestars and DIESEL (the clothing brand in Italy). If you know what A00-6391 or O.T.BRV means, let me know. :: Paul, 04-23-21
