Default New Gloves in

Well i just got my new gloves in... i was using ICON Hooligan gloves and just got in Alpinstar GP Pro gloves. My first impression isn't to great of seeing them in person, the size is small for XL and i don't feel like paying MAW an extra 20% plus shipping and handling to get a size larger. The 3rd and 4th finger bridge is annoying as hell and i think I'm going have to cut it, when i ball my hand into a fist my fingers go nuts cause they are stuck together (damn closterphobia) but I'm going wait and see how it feels on my bike first. Then decide to either pay the money to get a size larger or keep them and hope they stretch enough to be comfortable and cut the damn bridge so i don't go nuts from my fingers not being able to move freely~!

you might be able to take them to a local dealer and switch them out for a larger size, a couple of the dealers around here have done that for me before.

ALWAYS TRY GEAR ON BEFORE YOU BUY IT . Alpinestars runs small and even there 2xl has short fingers .

There gloves don't fit me at all in the fingers. The tips of my fingers are pressed to the edge of the leather and makes my hand go numb. I gave mine away.
