Alpinestars smx 2 air carbon v2 gloves review.

The protection has been increased with the addition of various highly vented tpr inserts including a tpr reinforcement at the wrist closure. Featuring an evolutionary innovative design and new material construction to enable it to achieve the highest ce certification standards the smx 2 air carbon v2 glove features carbon knuckle guards a technical 3d mesh and leather main shell construction to provide excellent levels of protection and cooling airflow for those hot summer days cutting through the downtown traffic. Outer seam palm construction alleviates pressure points from seams when you re gripping your controls. Appearance wise the gloves look better than the smx 1 and offer more leather protection.

However these gloves don t breathe as much as the smx 1. Alpinestars spx air carbon v2 gloves. Overall i don t recommend due to the weak stitching. The alpinestars smx 2 air carbon gloves have returned in a refined second iteration with a sleeker aesthetic and streamlined carbon knuckle.

The protection of leather and the airflow of stretch mesh make the alpinestars spx air carbon v2 gloves an excellent option for hot weather riding.
