Alpinestars GP Pro R3 Gloves Review

[@DatelessPiano]

It's refreshing to see at least one brand improve both product and price this year. Everyone else seems to be reducing prices at the cost of quality, or only reducing costs for themselves. Hopefully Alpinestars sets an example for the rest of the manufacturers thinking about cutting corners this season. (I'm looking at u Icon)

[@DavourisRX8]

Between GP Tech and GP Pro R3, which one would you suggest?

[@impact0r]

Does this glove have hard slider(s) at the bottom of the palm, or is it leather only?

[@yasaremrahkosdas1929]

Hi. Is this glove suitable for daily use in summer conditions? Where I live, the temperature is between 30-40 degrees in summer.

[@DGH19]

Thx for the review. Ok i have the original gp pros in XL....Should I go L then? Or is that only when comparing R3 to R2 version? Thx again

[@yorukturk]

To me only important thing is maximum safety i just wonder should i buy alpinestars gp pro r4 or supertech gloves or dainese full metal 7.. Also i want to use in winter for rainy days too. I don't expect it to stay completely dry, but I don't want the gloves to be damaged for long use. Im waiting for ur answers please

[@RevZilla]

Both the Dainese and Alpinestars you mentioned will protect you from a crash equally, so it will come down to which fits your hands. However, if you are riding in cold condition neither will protect you from the cold wind so you would want to look for a WP or Wind-proof insulated option for colder months. At cruising / highway speeds the temperature drops about 20 degrees or so and you run the risk of not being able to use the controls if your fingers aren't warm enough. Please feel free to reach out to our customer service team for options on this though, as they can help you a lot quicker than our YT comments can.

@@RevZilla thank u so much :)

I currently have "Alpinestars Celer V2" short cuff gloves, according to the size chart I'm exactly an "L" but I had to go for XL because I could barely put my hand fully in the "L", was way too tight.XL fits perfect! Should I listen to the size chart and go for "L" on the R3s or should I size up and go for XL on these ones too?

[@quincy1665]

not sure if you already bought them, I had the exact same switch. Had XL Celer V2's and therefore bought the XL GP Pro R3. Got them in today, unfortunately they are too big so I'm exchanging them for a pair of L

[@chris_fxlrst]

How would these be for everyday street use ? Was going to get the cortech impulse rr but now I’m liking these as well.. both in hi viz of course :)

[@hellothere4342]

I've been using GP Pro R2 as an everyday commuter and weekend track days if that means anything for you.

[@layinlowspeedtech4361]

I also use the GP Pro R2 as a street glove and the R3 even looks more comfortable. I'd say the R3 over the Coretech all day but that's just my opinion of course

[@RevZilla]

If you can afford these, the quality is definitely a step up over Cortech. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-gp-pro-r3-gloves

[@chuckb337]

I am a solid XXL in the original SP2. And fully broken in they are excellent. Video says he's xxl-xxxl, to go XL. I'm worried may be small XL. I tried GP Tech XXL, and was just too small, no way could use them. Thoughts..

[@RevZilla]

We found when putting these on that they fit extremely generous and that was our sizing recommendations come from. Spurgeon does not take his recommendations for sizing up or down lightly, if that helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or [e-mail]. - Pat

[@GixxerJake]

Went from XL SP8’s to these... same size

[@curvnetv]

I have this issue where the dainese gloves wear too tight with the M to the point is painful and way too loose with the L size. How does Alpinestar wear compared to Dainese?

[@RevZilla]

Alpinestars have a very similar fit in our experience to Dainese. For something that would be an in between fit I would suggest looking at these Rev'It! options: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-rsr-3-gloves www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-jerez-3-gloves These will fit just a bit more loose, so a Medium should provide a bit more room for you. I hope that helps! -Zack

[@Luna.R7]

Very late but just in case might be helpful for someone, I had the same problem with Dainese Carbon 4 gloves, to the point that it was literally painful to remove and wear the gloves. They were extremely thight on the wrists area. Alpinestars are COMPLETELY different, at least for me. They fit perfectly fine, and the wrist area has much more room without sacrificing the length of the fingers. I've been wearing only Alpinestars gloves since then, even if I love dainese and got everything else from dainese the gloves are impossible for me to wear.

[@luiseduardoortiz7051]

How about good afternoon, excuse me right now, which gloves would you buy the supertech or the gp tech v2

[@nicensleazy1892]

great gloves - far better over any dainese gloves!

[@mypencillead]

Is the wrist closure strap longer this time? I remember barely being able to squeeze my hand in the r2 because the wrist wouldn’t open up enough (unless you pulled the strap out through the D ring)

[@RevZilla]

Yes, the wrist closure is slightly longer. Hopefully it should be long enough to not require removing from the buckle. -DrewZilla

[@tejaksz]

Which one has better ventillation compared to the GP Tech? I'd like to buy something for the summer. Thanks!

[@RevZilla]

The SP Air Gloves have the most ventilation for gauntlet gloves, but the GP Pro R3 Gloves are more protective. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-sp-air-gloves *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-gp-pro-r3-gloves

[@dannydanny9194]

I have a super tech large but its little small. Do u think i need a XL R3?

[@RevZilla]

The Supertechs fit a bit tight, so you could probably stay with size large in the GP Pro R3. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/GP_Pro_R3

[@Darktrooper-mt5qu]

Are they comfortable for daily driving?

[@Shahar_C]

Hi there, I'm currently with the Alpinestars SP-1 gloves size XL. Do you recommend ordering the GP Pro R3 in size XL as well ?

[@RevZilla]

If you are XL in the SP-1 Gloves, then XL in the GP Pro R3 Gloves should also be appropriate. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-gp-pro-r3-gloves

[@ThemadViking793]

I got XXL in my GP-Tech gloves and XL in the GP Pro R3 still feels pretty comfortable.

[@Shahar_C]

Thank you so much ! :)

[@ThemadViking793]

@@Shahar_C you're welcome. 👍

[@steerles3084]

what size at this glove this see on video ?

[@steez1two]

L in SP Airs, would these be L also?

[@RevZilla]

Very likely yes. -DrewZilla

[@SuperGaloves]

hay sir motarbaik gloves bast quality manufacture# # Our quality is our recognition#

[@Mikev2g]

This is a level 2 glove, like the Super Tech, correct?

[@likasombodie]

[@timothy9596]

I'm normally a medium but I had to get large in the R2s. Only problem was that the fingers were too long. Almost every review on your website says the fingers are longer in the R3s. Do you think I should drop down to a medium or even a small so the fingers will fit better?

[@RevZilla]

The fingers will get shorter the smaller you go, but I would be careful about going to a Small because the palm might not fit at all. I have worn the Mediums in the older versions and the Mediums in the R3 work for me, especially after they break in the 10-15% that all gloves (especially throttle hand) will experience. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or [e-mail]. Ride safe, -Pat

[@ethan5240]

Can you guys say anything about the alpine stars motogp gloves on wish/Ali express? I’m fairly sure they’re fake but still considering purchasing them, only issue is that I don’t know how well they would protect.

[@RevZilla]

The fake ones generally look good but have bad stitching and can come apart more easily. You can only be sure you're getting real Alpinestars by ordering from us or another authorized retailer. -DrewZilla

[@stacked911]

ethan do u have a link ?

[@smaller_cathedrals]

Late reply, but never, EVER buy something that protects you from Wish/AliExpress. I buy from these sites, too. That's not the issues. But when it comes to your health and safety, you should never cheap out.

[@Repsol000]

I wear garden gloves from walmart

[@anghelerdei8949]

This is so pointless, 80% of the review you're poiting out what i can see from the picture. Talk me through the protection, the materials ffs

[@KurtG85]

He went through the materials in detail.
