1. Tight fit - but brand new so probably need to be broken in.
This is maybe my 4th pair of Alpinestars gloves in my 2 decades of riding. My hand, by measurements is just about 8in. around so the size chart indicated for me to be a Small, which I ordered (same size as in the past really) - it arrived literally, next day but I'm in Chicago so only a state over. Still, super fast shipping!
I tried them on, they are TIGHT but I would assume because the leather needs to be broken in a bit, other than that.. the only gripe is my pinky fingers are like a whole cm away from the tip and it's more of a slight annoyance than anything.
Still, happy with the glove so I doubt they'll be returned. They're currently replacing (or being added to) my still current A* SMX-1 Air V2 gloves I've been using for the past 4-5 years.
