Bike Stop's View:
Were we to find these in our kit bag ahead of a long summer touring holiday we would be delighted. In this model Alpinestars matches a premium leather outer skin to Gore-Tex’s Gore Grip which offers a condensed layered construction with none of the bulk often found in a touring glove. Equally as impressive is a new knuckle guard that sits softly on the knuckle yet gives a strong impact protection. Together these and many more details provide a glove that affords the levels of comfort needed for all day riding, a grand touring glove? You bet it is!
