| Pros |
Carbon
Fiber protection is where its at. Protecting knuckles,
and fingers. Added leather to protect those long
burning slides in the palms. Lets face it. Palms
is always the first thing to burn. Double stitched
protection to keep from tearing. |
| Cons |
Make
sure you get the right size. Tight gloves can
cause numbness in fingers which can make it very
uncomfortable and dangerous. On very Hot days
your hands will be sweating :) |

Joe
Rocket Highside. The Carbon Fiber is very important
in the SP-2. However both gloves fit about the
same. |

Summary |
Gloves
gloves gloves.. we all have them (most of us should)
And the selection is large. After having a hole
in one of my gloves I made a quick phone call
to Flatout Motorcycles and asked him what he thought
about all these gloves on the market today. He
mentioned the Alpinestar SP-2 and promptly sent
them to me.
I myself am a street rider. With the occasional
track time. So protection is important while being
comfortable is important just the same.
I open up the package. Give them a feel. A bit
tight but hey I can work these in. After going
for a ride. Sweating hands and all. The gloves
started to take shape and form to my hands. The
knuckle protection is very well placed. The extra
leather padding for the palms is well done. All
around a great glove. |
