Alpinestars GP Pro gloves in a size Large. As you can probably tell by the photos, I haven't used these much since I bought them (I'm a weekend warrior) so the really haven;t had much use, and are therefore in great condition.. Getting in to touring as of late, so looking at getting a more appropriate pair of gloves for that.

Why not wear them touring? They are bloody good gloves and it still hurts if you can off a touring bike!

Haha, yes, they certainly are good gloves, but I am quite slim and my hands get very cold quite easily, and of course with the gloves being perforated, makes for some chilly mits!
Besides, these things really are far too hardcore for the likes of me! ;)
