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 :)
Compared To Joe Rocket Highside. The Carbon Fiber is very important in the SP-2. However both gloves fit about the same.
Review 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.
