I believe I have the Alpinestar GPX gloves. Feel great and seem like they will hold up for a long while. My bike is my daily commuter when I am home so the gloves get used everyday and have only been getting more comfortable as time goes on.

Tried to buy these but they were sold out of the blue, which I really wanted.

why would you want short gloves? i just dont get it, why wear gloves at all if you want less protection?

By short do you mean the ones that come up to the wrist? If so, my jacket covers the rest of me! I need it for knuckles and palms brah!

what about your wrist? the main reason i got long ones like i did was to protect that, and they go over the jacket fine and that keeps air from coming in the jacket that way. try and look for ones with sliders on the palm, you dont want to grip asphalt when you hit it at 30 with your wrists out

That doesn't make sense. I've never seen a pair of motorcycle specific gloves that have sliders in the palms. Why would you want something like that inhibiting your touch and feel on the grips of your bike?

Link to gloves with sliders in the palms?
