wife got a little bonus this week so i convinced her into letting me buy a new pair of gloves. Been using the alpinestar octane s-moto for the last year and i love these gloves, they've been getting a lil worn in and i just wanted to try a new set anyway. Picked up the gpx glove GPX Glove - Alpinestars Official Store, there were very pricey at $120, but they feel great so far. Have tried numerous gloves, but alpinestar is by far my favorite, they fit my hand perfectly and are very comfortable, while offering great protection for a short glove. I'm sure most of u will say i could do better for the $ i spent on these, but i have been very happy with my first set. Now if i could just convince the wife to let my buy a M109R to add to the stable i would be set
