Alpinestars S-MX Air Carbon Gloves
 

Just received my pair of blue '07 Alpinestars S-MX Air Carbon Gloves. They look fantastic!! They fit great too. For $51 shipped, I just couldn't resist. Got it on ebay. Nowhere else sells it that cheap. Here's a picture of it. http://www.ridegear.com/rg/item/F-25...n_Gloves_.html

Well done! I put a pretty good usage on my Icon Superdutys which were a little less (not as sweet looking) which were my first gloves--but im sorta kickin my self in the ass for not buying gauntlets in the first place since thats what most all tracks require... somethin to think about

i think mine may be a bit big for me but still comfy. they vent well when you open your palm but keep warm while gripping the handle bars

Just don't crash while wearing them. Here are some pics of my Air Carbons after a low-side. I'll never wear anything but gauntlet gloves again.

wow that is to funny.......i am sorry but I need to laugh!
Those gloves shouldn't be sold under the title of street.
They are an MX motocross glove!!!!

Dont ride with them on the street........concrete is harder than dirt. Just see the above photos

I would sell them and buy these ones

I have ridin with these and crashed with them also and DIDNT get hurt, the gloves held up

They are comfortable with lots of grip and handling.
The only thing bad about them is that they breath to much so they are bad for colder weather.

OUCH![>:]
That hurts just looking at it. Thanks for the pics, squids - pay attention, this is what road rash looks like!

RE: Alpinestars S-MX Air Carbon Gloves
 

Noobs and squids should pay attention.

The day that happened I was as geared up as well as I knew how to be. Shift M1 leather jacket, Icon TiMax pants, Icon Super Duty 2 boots, Icon Field Armor for knees/shins, HJC AC-12 helmet, and those sorry gloves. The only injuries I received were on my hands.

I know better now. Sweat wipes off - road rash sucks.

I wore a pair of joe rocket soft leathers like those when I wrecked and same thing happened. Gauntlets for me from now on.

What does everyone mean when they talk about "gauntletes" Im a complete noob when it comes to buying gloves lol.

Take a look at the Joe Rocket Speedmaster gloves. Note the large section of glove that goes up your arm, over the sleeve of your leather jacket. That section is called a gauntlet.

The gauntlet will protect your wrists/hands instead of leaving a gap between the end of the jacket sleeve and the short glove. Also, gauntlet gloves tend to be built with more abrasion resistant materials - reducing the chances of a glove blowout and accompanying road rash on palms, etc.
