Welcome

Hi and welcome to my personal blog Motorcycle Paradise, a collection of my riding experiences and the occasion random thought. This site and my attempts at photography are just a hobby and I'm not trying to make either into anything else so some of the road info and photos might be a few years old. More recent info and photos can be found in the ride reports and when I get some time I might transfer this to the original posts. I do not profess to be a word smith so slang, typos and grammar mistakes are all par for the course. Regards IC.

Road test - Alpinestars Raven Gloves










Edit: I read on New Enough that these gloves are a full size smaller than labeled so there is most of the problem...

The dimensions of these gloves seem odd. The glove that is loose enough in places and tight in other areas. Fingers have plenty of room while the thumb is short and hard up against my thumb nail causing discomfort when riding.

So I find I am trying to pull the glove slightly forward on my hand to ease pressure on my thumbs however this then makes them bind at the cuffs.

Edit - as mentioned above seems another Alpinestars sizing issue. Not sure why you would label things differently to their actual size.
