Well i bought the SP1 gloves last week, but they were a bit large when i put them on at home, and figured they might break in and get even bigger. So i went ahead and exchanged them, but instead came home with the GP-Plus model Did i do a good thing or bad thing?
Before:

After:

Also the GP-plus they fit pretty snug, a bit tight. The guy at the shop said they should break in, and its good to get them snug. Those who have the GP-Plus, did they break in?? If i were to go witht he larger size, they fit a bit big. My left hand they fit perfect but its my right hand they are bigger on.
Oh i paid $133.00 at Motostrano.com. They are on Sale for $140.00 but im a Barf.com member so i got an extra 5% offon top Very good guys

 

Yes you did a good thing, the gp plus gloves are better, and yes they will stretch. $133 OMG, good deal.

 

damm this sucks. I went to go and try them on on my bike, and the palm area is to damm small. When i extend the finder to grabe the brake lever or clutch lever the palm are is to tight and doesnt let me extend the fingers . Anyone wanna buy these. brand new ill sell them for what i got them for. I dont wanna return them since they might think im wierd for exchanging a third time

 

keep them....they'll break in and stretch. I have a set of GP Plus' and they've held up great even after a couple crashes (one street and 2-3 racing my YSR). I would say that the GP Plus are MUCH better than the SP1 and well worth the money

oh - big to Motostrano. Purchased my A* NS-5 textile jacket from them at the bike show for $105

 

I have both the gp plus and gp pro's and I like my gp pluses a lot more. They're just nice and comfy, but the vents on the pro's is nice on hot days. I like having my gloves pretty snug when I buy em cuz they do break in a good deal. If they're too big they end up bunching on your palms and it can get pretty uncomfortable on long rides.

 

should i have them snug enough that when i make a fist, the lenth of finger are really tight? The tips of my fingers when i make a fist, are tight, and when i open my hand all the way i cant stretch the thumb area cause of the palm are being tight. Thats my main concern, when i reach for the lever with my fingers, thats weres the tightning ocurs, and the palm area straches, and i loose grip. i hope they stretch, dont wanna regret later on. thanks guys

Sounds normal to me. Need to break them in for at least 20-40hrs.

 

just wear them around the house

btw - theres a group ride this friday (meeting at the starbucks at bay hill in SSF) if you want to come. Probably 15-30 bikes

 

i sold a buncha my gear but kept my gp pluses; never will i buy a different type of glove. i also had the issue with one feeling tighter than the other but it was all set after they broke in...

 

sweet thanks for the input guy. ya i love these glove, the leather is so nice . Ive been trying them on all day, when i make fist they hurt my fingers, hopefully once i get riding my bike with them on they will break in.

i wore my around the house a bunch to help break them in; a lot easier than putting the strain on your hands while riding. hell, i think mine are in my car so i can backhand someone if i run into any trouble on my trip...

The gun isn't enough?

For glove fitment, it should be a little bit tight when you make a fist. Not so much that it hurts to do so. You'll be holding onto the throttle, so you won't make a complete closed-fist. Give it time to break in.

 

I didn't like the GP+ a friend of mine had them and they did not fir good at all! then again i haven't found a hard knuckle glove that does. i ware size XXL and i have rather large knuckles so every glove i try pushes on them and it gets annoying any recommendations?

 

bringing this back up just to say these gloves ROCK. Been riding with them for the last week, and they fit just perfect now, they broke it, and fit so nicely. Thanks guys for the info
