Gloves and Boots

[Fire_Eyes]

Wow, my gloves and boots just arrived from the states. Both from alpinestars, they look great and the gloves fit me perfectly. However, the boot's length is ok but sometimes I feel it's wide because it tends to move up. I'll make sure tomorrow as I don't have the pants tucked in and I'm wearing thin socks. As soon as I got on the bike the I felt the difference. The gloves grip so could but the feeling is very different. I feel like my throttle control isn't as good and I seem to miss the indicator switch etc. I think it's just a matter for time untill I get used to them. I'll post some pictures soon , guess I'm just happy I bought them .

Boots are allways a bit weird to get used to them, my sidis were weird for the first week or so... bizzare how much difference it makes..

You're brave ordering from the us though! i'd never buy without trying on

Yea I know, it's because I'm in Dubai (MiddleEast) and they don't have the top alpinestar models... hell they barely have any gear here. My relative bought some gloves and I predicted my size after trying them. Will wear normal socks now to see the boots. I think there is a way to make them close but I'm not familiar with it .

Usually, (for UK sizes) your glove size is the same as your shoe size.
