I got new gloves

Alpinestar SP 2's


What are your reviews? I ordered the xl and find them a bit tight. What can I do to losen them up a little?

Ive heard good things, but Ive never worn any. Nice lookin gloves

You can use hand cream or leather conditioner on them to loosen them up. Just put on the gloves and rub the cream on just like you would if you were putting cream on your hands. The other thing you could do is soak them in water and wear them until they are dry.

I shoved screw driver handles in mine. Different size screw driver handles for the different size fingers.

Those are NICE.

Be sure to give us a review when they're broken in.... I need new gloves.

Just wear them alot until they're broken in . That's what I did . It took a couple weeks , but now they fit *ahem* "like a glove" .

One day of riding and sweating will break them in fine.

I have worn them for two days now and they still are a bit tight, But I can tell they are losening up.

Congrats thaz, nice gloves !!
When I was breaking in my phoenix ones, I dunked my hands w/ the gloves on in water, and then sat there watching TV and working my fingers and hands back and forth to help stretch them out quicker. Then once they dried out alittle bit from doing it. I put some leather conditioner on it to help keep them nice and soft.

I do have some leather conditioner from my softball mit, I will use that for sure.
