Alpinestars Stella Tourer W-7 V2 Drystar Gloves

Perfect fit but not warm enough

“I love the fit of these gloves. I have long fingers and long, narrow hands, and these fit perfectly. They're not bulky, and it's easy to work all the controls while riding in them. I do find the strap system weird because they're connected, but it's fine. I wore them for the first time today in 49 degree weather on a 20 minute ride, and my fingers were freezing. I could feel the wind penetrating the gloves. I will wear these in warmer riding temperatures above 50, but I'll have to continue my search for gloves that keep me warm in colder temperatures.”

Not proportionately sized

“Fingers are way too long for XS gloves. Cannot work levers without interference. But they seem to be warm enough for above freezing temperatures. Would not recommend due to sizing issue.”

Weird strap configuration but overall seem great!

“Full disclosure, I literally just got these and have yet to ride in them, but they have such an odd (to me) strap configuration that I was surprised and felt compelled to write about it! The security strap and the cuff strap are connected to each other. I am not quite sure what they were trying to accomplish with this design but I don't see any benefit or advantage to it? It makes it very awkward for those of us with tiny hands and wrists to get everything as snug and secure as possible. You're supposed to do up the thinner security strap first, then the cuffs. But if you follow that order of”

“I am new to riding, and I see a lot of these comments in regard to how to put the gloves on and the fact that the straps are connected and how they don't keep you warm. It's stated that these gloves are mid-range winter warmth, meaning they won't 100% keep your fingers warm. They definitely are warmer than the summer gloves. They are marked as warm waterproof, not necessarily going to keep your hands from getting cold period. You will still feel a brisk on your fingertips if you ride for longer periods and or riding in below 55 degrees. The straps can also be confusing since they are connected”

Decent for the price

“These are pretty nice, good value for the price. I do wish there were options for more color, or even white. I rode for about 90 minutes on a 48° day, and my hands stayed warm enough, only my pinkies really got cold. The fit is nice, I expected to be an XL, and they fit. I wish there was a pocket so I could insert a Hot Hands packet. They are still new, so I can't say anything really about durability, but they seem well made. The comfort is good, and I'm not disappointed”

Don't have to sacrifice dexterity or protection for warmth

“I LOVE these gloves! I have slender hands and long fingers and these are the pinnacle of "fits like a glove" for me. Size chart was accurate. What I love most: The fact that they are NOT bulky! I can work my controls perfectly with these. Their windbreaking is appreciated! These are perfect gloves for spring and fall. So comfortable!! And I love their safety/protection ratings too. I get cold easily, so I will wear these for nonhighway rides of 35mph max in like +45degrees. Any less than that (or long highway) and I wear heated gloves. Because I love these gloves so much, I'm looking to or”

Weird design and fit

“These gloves seem super sturdy, and were one of the few I found that were waterproof and had both insulation and hard knuckle armor. Unfortunately, I agree with the other reviewer who said the strap configuration is weird. It's difficult to figure out which strap to adjust first, and neither way worked well. The straps are separate on the men's version - why change that for women? There's way too much velcro on the gauntlet, too. I can imagine them getting snagged on everything. The other thing is fit. I have to get size XL in women's Stellas to fit my hand in there comfortably, but even then”

Good gloves, doesn't work with touch screen

“Nice and warm. I got these for the cold temps here in CO. Below 40 is still too cold for them but I like them. Only major downfall is they are NOT touch screen capable. All my other alpine gloves work with my touch screen except these.”
