Sizing Information
Like most Alpinestars gloves, these gloves ran a bit smaller than most glove brands we carry. They are not a lot small and most people can choose the size they normally wear in gloves (especially if a snug fit is preferred). If you are sometimes between sizes, then choose the larger of the two. Hopefully you’ve had some experience with buying gloves and can choose based upon the fit of a previous pair. If you have no previous experience with glove sizing, go here for help.
Our Two Cents
Vika V2 Gloves are a “stealth” styled black leather design for the ladies. These gloves are made of soft leather and they are fully lined with nylon for comfort. The knuckles have a molded soft one piece armor unit for protection of the back of the hand. The armor is covered in the same leather to take the “sport” look down a notch. I think this style could work equally well for sport or cruiser riding.
The index finger is touch screen compatible and there is soft padding in the heel of the hand and similar small pads on the backs of the fingers. The wrist closes with a Velcro strap so you can keep them secure but comfortable. :: Paul, 09-21-18
