Was asked to review after a week of riding with the gloves so here it is.
After a week of riding these gloves are ok, maybe my hands are more sensitive to the cold but any temp under 5° still feels quite cold to me even with hand guards in place. The Velcro strap could be longer for a tighter fit and more adjustment, along with the neck being longer. Not baging out the brand as I have other products from this company which are good but $110.. dunno about that.
Hey Jace, cheers for taking the time to review and for providing your honest feedback! We're very sorry to hear that the gloves didn't live up to your expectations and we've just reached out to you to see what we can do to turn this situation around.
I wore these gloves over two days of torrential rain! My hands stayed warm and dry both days. The outside of the gloves was a little wet, you could even say water logged on the saturday, they dried out over night and were just as warm and dry on the sunday. The gloves aren't super bulky and felt great to ride in. I could still use my phone while wearing the gloves which was great as well. Fantastic gloves! As with the anorak, well worth the money!
Thanks again for the follow up review Jon! We couldn't be happier to hear how well the gloves went over your trip!
Bought these gloves along with the Akin Gorm moto anorak for an upcoming trip, things may get a little wet! I didn't own any wet weather gloves so I thought it'd be best if I invested in some just in case.
Gloves are well made and nice and toasty! Really like the short, sporty style cuff. Usually wet/cold weather gloves seem really bulky to me but these are great, they look and feel like a "normal" glove. The goat skin palms on these gloves are really nice.
I'm usually a L in gloves, used the size chart and got a L. They do fit more snug than a tradition size L glove. I don't have massive hands but a L fits me well like a glove! definitely use the sizing guide though.
I've found my go to wet weather glove.
Thanks for the review Jon! Really happy to hear the Alpha Gloves are now your go to for wet weather!
Finally able to test these over the past month. My gear was lacking a warmer pair of gloves. Purchased these when they were released and have been riding in temperatures between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius. They are exactly what I was looking for. Comfortable and they feel very natural. Dexterity is perfect. I was worried about using a thicker glove. I normally wear the Grenade gloves. Thankfully, it was an easy transition. They held up very well in cold, pouring rain. That's a win. Another successful AKIN purchase!
Cheers for such an awesome review on the Alpha Gloves, I'm stoked to hear how well they have served you in the cold and rain!
I normally run a set of leather Brawler gloves, but I recently bought some Alpha gloves for adv riding. They're super well made, feel great on, and have eliminated the annoyance of riding around with cold, wet hands out in the bush. Now that it's cooling down in Australia, I've even taken to wearing them on regular rides too. Highly recommended.
Cheers for reviewing our Alpha Gloves Azad! That's awesome to hear that they have ticked so many boxes for riding on and off road!
