Alpinestars Stella SMX-2 Air Carbon v2 Gloves

Low speed crash tested.

“They saved my hands in a lower speed crash. I was T-boned on a main road by a pick up truck running a stop sign about 25-30mph hit and I ended up about 100ft down the road after letting go of the bike going down. I bought these for summer riding 100+ degrees. I didn't enjoy them the first season I had them because I didn't break them in. The fit is smaller for a medium than the pair of Alpinestars Kalea gloves that I own in a Medium, but were cooler and I got used to riding with them when the heat cranked up once broken in. I had no scratches on my hands from sliding down the road. My right g”

Not worth it .

“Purchased these gloves couple months ago and I tried to like these gloves but the fit of off. You can feel the stitching with your finger tips. It makes my index fingers uncomfortable when I grab the bars. Do not recommend.”

Safe but no touchscreen

“Love all the safety features of these gloves. I echo everyone else that they do need to get broken in a bit. The fingers seem a little small but stretch out ok. Biggest complaint is the lack of touch screen compatibility. It?s supposed to have touch screen in the index finger but it definitely doesn?t. Good gloves but because of that I?ll need to buy a backup pair which is unfortunate.”

Great quality, fit issues.

“The textile and protection features are top notch! The sizing is a bit off. The diameter of my palm is 6-3/4" and the fit is slightly too big. The fingers, however, fit as far as length. I also tried an XS and while the palm fit well, the fingers were far too short to feel comfortable while operating my ride!”

Tough Breathable Gloves

“I bought these gloves at a local retailer, and I thought I would contribute to the small number of reviews on this website. I must say, the small mesh area between the fingers is extremely effective in cooling the hands. I think this is a great trade-off, as the rest of the glove can be thicker leather. As for those who say the gloves aren't touch screen compatible, the index fingertip will work, but only that finger registers on my touchscreen. Overall, I am very happy with these gloves. The fingers are stitched in a way that the glove doesn't hurt your hands.”

great gloves

“picked up a pair of these at a local store because my old trusty knox gloves literally FELL apart !! didn’t expect too much from $79 gloves but was completely surprised really excellent gloves. comfortable. good leather surfaces breathable excellent velcro closure nice pre curved fingers just all around a nice fitting glove definately recommend for hot weather riding also have a pair of dainese air heros which suck at all of the above these are $79 gloves with the quality and fit of $150 gloves. 5 out of 5”

Not touch screen compatible at all

“Nice gloves. Run small, but seem like they would break in nice. However, no idea why in multiple places it says these are touch screen compatible, but nothing about these is touch screen compatible. returning.”

Great glove, snug fit

“These gloves the best protection for the money. The glove is partially leather and mash, with a really snug fit out of the package. It took me about two weeks to break the men where they’re actually comfortable. They do stretch quite a bit, which I was unsure of at first. I bought the white version, and there’s a little discoloration along the strap on my rest. I think that’s mostly from my jacket though, don’t see it as a big problem. The knuckle protection fits just right. The Velcro closure around the rest is also really secure. If I faced an impact with these on I know they wouldn’t fly o”

Run small

“These gloves run small. I measured my hand like they said and ordered the small. I just received them and they are way too tight. Returning for a medium. Will update review when I get the mediums and have ridden with them.”

Great gloves for the price!

“I love these gloves! I originally ordered XS because I was within the size range for the XS but when I put the glove on, they were super tight. I decided to send them back and get SM. They are a tad tight in the fingers but fit okay around my palm. If you are on the higher range of fit for the XS just go for the SM. This is the only reason why I'm giving this product 4/5. Could be a better fit in some areas. But since it is leather in some parts of the glove itll stretch out a tad. The airflow on these gloves are awesome! Great gloves for summer riding. The protection on these gloves are also ”

Love these things

“My wife is 5’1” and wears a small. I’m 6’ and wear a large. They fit me perfect and are comfortable on long rides. They look good too. I like these gloves a lot. Only thing is it’s getting cold here. It’s 40 outside and it’s time for a pair of cold weather gloves, these things breath pretty good. Happy with them. The only downside is they don’t work with my phone.”

Motorcycle gloves for ladies sized hands

“I have small to medium size hands and have had a had time finding a good fit that would allow airflow but also good knuckle and finger protection. These gloves are flexible and durable.”
