motorcycle gloves comments:

Dainese blew these. Do they expect the girls who'd wear these to be gullible enough to pay such high price for an insufferable fit, to be unbreakable superwomen that need minimal protections, or to be discouraged by such joking treatment that they just stay away from serious riding!!?

I ordered these Alpinestars gloves at a Dainese store after trying the men's equivalent thinking that the women's would fit (slimmer palm, longer fingers) and look better. I received these in the mail and were shocked by their poor-fit and lack of protection.

Then what upsets me, as this happens with the majority of brands, is that the girl's design is such a cheat and downgrade from men's (supposedly comparable) versions of metal motorcycle gloves - at the same high price! The motorcycle gloves, except the knuckle plate and shield that deceivingly shine like Valentino Rossi's, they are soft everywhere else, not a bit of meaningful protection on finger joints, sides or wrists, the palms go completely thin and flimsy!

i should stick with men's track gloves and stay mindful of the inferior woman's gear.

The fingers are extremely short - especially the middle and index fingers - almost half an inch too short; yet the palm is really baggy. I have normally shaped hands that are in no way too slim or long, these gloves seem to have been made for

Neanderthals' hand shapes. I had them on for a ride out on the streets and my two fingers' tips went sore from wanting to poke through the Alpinestars motorcycle gloves, yet my palm did not have good contact with the handle bar due to bagginess. Small tightening traps cut too short (close to the palm) on the wrists, bothersome! The cuff strap, due to lack of insert or padding, are too soft and thin to control its proper tightening around the sleeves, either too loose or too restrictive.
