Default Alpinestars GP Pro Gloves Problem
Hey guys,

I just bought a pair of A* GP Pro gloves a couple days ago. I've only worn them a couple times but I'm always getting this pressure point in my left wrist. The right gloves feels awesome and so does rest of the left one; except for this one area. After trying different things, I think I've determined that the pressure might be caused by the metal hoop for the wrist strap digging into my wrist. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I return/exchange them?

Thanks!

Are they legit AStars? I bought a pair that I thought were real but they were not.

Have you tried contacting Alpinestars with your concern? It is worth a shot

No problems here...

Are you sure it's not how your hand is positioned on the bars? Straight wrist. No death grip.

I got them from one of the dealerships here. I'm thinking I might just return them and try a different pair. For the price, I shouldn't be having this problem with them!

I totally agree these are not cheap gloves.

For the money you spent there are better gloves out there - MUCH better.

Held, Knox, Heroic, Dainese... Just to name a few. A* gloves are widely known to be the absolute weakest item in their apparel portfolio.
