So I went to my local Cycle Gear today looking for some nice gloves and/or a better jacket for cool weather. Didn't find a jacket that I liked but I did pick up some 2012 Alpinestars SP-2 gloves for $80 dollars! (I think they goofed up because they also had 2010 SP-2 gloves also for $80. Must have been a computer error. I was ready to pay the $119 dollars then they rang it up and it showed $79. I was like hell yeah!)Great deal if you ask me. I love em already. Went for a quick ride this afternoon and they feel great. Can't wait to get them broken in a little bit more. Oh and they smell so good! Haha
I had been riding around in Alpinestars SMX-2 air carbon gloves which are great for summer cruising but don't offer that much protection. And I also had a pair of Bilt Circuit Racer gloves that I got for free when I purchased something. They were free so I can't complain too much, but they suck. They are falling apart from less than a year of use. I will post up some pics of them when I have more time.
But these Alpinestars SP-2's definitely feel and look like they will last for years. And hopefully do a great job protecting my hands if I do go down. Just though I'd share!
I'm thinking about getting the Alpinestars Gunner WP jacket from revzilla. http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-gunner-wp-jacket
