Alpinestars SP 8 V3 Leather Gloves REVIEW | Sportbike Track Gear

[@M3thodbombz]

I bought these gloves upon their initial release. It was my first gauntlet glove and I love it. Flows a descent amount of air. A good cool/warm weather riding glove that provides a good amount of protection if you’re doing aggressive street riding.

I use these for karting. Let me tell you the pre form [after breaking in] has a very natural feel for a steering wheel. The connected fingers really helped with fatigue. Better than any karting gloves at the same price point. Literally feels like a second skin.

[@Gasson86]

How long did it take the gloves to break in?

[@koshile3794]

@Gasson86 hot humid, 15 min sessions at time, about 4 hours. I store in air tight bags with desiccant bags for the week.

[@DaPredz]

Thx man. Think im gonna snag those for the street. Like the look and was looking for a good, not too serious, gaintlet style glove.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This is an excellent street gauntlet IMO. - Van

[@senpai-kl9dc]

Hello, i apologise if this is a bizarre question I have the Alpinestars Sp-8 V3 and large size works very well for me My question is, would Alpinestars Sp-2 V3 , which has an added palm slider , fit for me in size Large too? I can unfortunately not test the sp-2 v3 hence i am asking here because i believe it has more or less the same sizings Thank you

[@Ghost_Triple6]

I love these gloves, all I ride is street and canyon and they are perfect

[@lauragalbraith]

Thanks for the video! Are these warm for cold weather riding?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This is a non-insulated, warm weather riding glove. - Van

[@maman8588]

Which one do you think is better the SP 1 or SP 8?

[@_martydunlop]

These do have palm sliders though don't they? 'Arshield reinforcement on the palm slider for superior abrasion resistance.'

[@sportbiketrackgear]

No plastic palm slider, just the reinforced fabric. - Van

[@dadesishyt]

Hey Brian Just had them delivered today. Tried them on. There's an interior band that runs along the inside of the glove where the wrist strap is. I'm finding the left side digging into my wrist. Is this something that will go away as they break in? Only happens on the left glove. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated

[@smartbikers4550]

Excellent gloves.... I have v2 sp8

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Thanks for sharing your feedback. - Van

[@jonnymurphy666]

hey Van, I'm considering this glove or the RST TracTech Evo 4 Motorcycle Gloves, would you recommend the rst for street riding as well as the track or mainly for track riding. i do mostly street riding track days maybe two or three times a year also which are better for colder weather riding, like 10°c. thanks in advance Jonny

[@sportbiketrackgear]

100% the RST TracTech Evo gloves are a better glove and a better value. Those gloves are very comparable to the GP Pro model. If you want to ride in cold weather you will need a purpose built cold weather glove with wind proofing and insulation. - Van

[@papercut1987]

how would you compare this to sp2-v3. The price difference kinda pushes me to go for sp2 instead.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The Sp2 is a little nicer glove. - Van

[@papercut1987]

@@sportbiketrackgear yeah, I got lucky. our local store had both models and the sp2 was their last one on a 30% off... jumped on it.

[@senpai-kl9dc]

@@papercut1987 Hello, idk if ull answer but i wanted to ask if yk if there is a sizing difference between sp8 and sp2 v3 I have a great deal for sp2 online and wanted to buy the same size i use for sp8( which is L) , do you thinj it would work?

[@papercut1987]

@@senpai-kl9dc my friend actually had sp8. But unfortunately we aren't wearing safe sizes so I couldn't comment about sizing. Normally I wear M for my winter gloves(non-motorsport) for a comfortable fit. But my SP2 is a S, since I don't want any loose on my hand, but it's actually still very comfortable while being very fit on my hand.

[@yusyrock26]

Which one do you recommend for more daily use? This one or Alpinestars Morph Sport gloves? I want it to be durable & longterm.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Leather typically lasts longer. - Van

[@zgjfinance2796]

What would you compare to this glove with a palm slider; important for me too

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Take a look at the RST TracTech EVO 4 CE Gloves. There are our best selling gauntlet gloves for a reason. Here is a link: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/rst-tractech-evo-4-ce-gloves/ - Van

[@Lazze23]

are they good for a slightly colder climate?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

If you are going to ride in cold weather and want to keep your hands warm you will need some form of winter gloves that are insulated and offer wind proofing. - Van

[@matlogan7501]

They suck at anything below 10 C

[@oSirSniffleso]

I rode these gloves all summer in the northeast. They don’t flow as much air as I’d like on the really hot days. They do make an Air version that I wish I had purchased. That said I think they give a lot of protection for the price point. They are basically a poor man’s Supertech glove.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This is a nice glove that sells for a fair price. - Van

[@oSirSniffleso]

@@sportbiketrackgear Agreed. Great glove for the money.

[@kidembl]

These SP-8 V3 or SP-1 V2? Mostly stret ride, and some curves… three seasons… What would You recommend?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The Sp1 V2 is a more robust glove than the SP8 glove. If protection is an important category for you I would go with the SP1. I see the SP8 glove as a more casual full gauntlet glove. - Van

[@kidembl]

@@sportbiketrackgear thanks a lot

[@imrin4059]

What differen on sp2 and sp8?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The SP2 offers a little more robust construction and protection as compared to the SP8. - Van

[@selmancelikkaya]

Hey Mr. Van, İ have a question, could i use the glove under jacket?i don't like gauntlet being over the jacket .

[@sportbiketrackgear]

If they will fit under the jacket no reason to not wear them that way if you prefer to wear them that way. - Van

[@dougiequick1]

I never thought I had huge hands but these in XXL are a bit tight? Debating if they will stretch out enough or not? anyone know?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Really depends on how tight they are when they are new. What I have found over the years is gloves will stretch in the palm and a bit in the fingers but do not seem to stretch as much if the fingers seem short when they are new. - Van

[@1990-t1j]

I like palm sliders on street gloves. These are cheap enough, though.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Palm sliders are a key feature for me in a glove. - Van

[@birdcrazy329]

Most of your videos with gloves you say your a large lol

[@sportbiketrackgear]

That is 100% false, I wear a 2XL in pretty much every single glove out there. Can't even get a large on. - Van
