After another two more weeks, the flexible strip on the back of the left glove, tore up as well.
The thing is that I just wear them for a routine home-to-work ride, which is eventless and very calm.
Bottom line i'm very disappointed, i had higher expectations from alpinestar equipment.

Pros: comfortable, well ventilated and nice looking! (specially the carbon fiber is quite cool). I've used it in a 260KM (161m) ride and it is really comfortable.Cons: finger tips (more precisely the back of fingertips) is made of a fabric that will suffer if in contact with velcro! I imagine that with time it will probably tear, this is why I'm giving 3 stars. My motorcycle has saddlebags with velcro as also my leather jacket pockets. If you consider that this is not an 'el cheapo' glove from an unknown brand, it is certainly a huge flaw in the design.
I have big hands, but not enormous, and the X-Large was a tight fit (initially I assumed that 'Large' would be good enough but changed my mind in the last minute). The feeling of handlebar and throttle doesn't change sensibly using this gloves, which is a good thing.
It is *not* water proof, better suited for a sunny summer ride.
