Hey GTA Moto!
Just doing a quick review of my brand new RS-Taichi GP-EVO gloves that I purchased from www.motostarz.ca . Canadian prices comparable to US pricing. They have a US and a Canadian site, so make sure you’re on the Canadian if ordering anything.
First I would like to thank motostarz.ca for their excellent customer service. Jack was amazing at quickly answering all my questions. The shipping was fast and easy with reasonable pricing. Tracking number provided as well, which is pretty standard these days.
As for the gloves, you can find detailed technical review of the GP-EVO by a simple search in google. What I want to touch on is the sizing, which is the most important part of the overall fit. I tried these gloves on in Indianapolis last summer and fell in love with the fit and quality. Much better than my last pair or Alpinestars GP-Pro.
I got the GP-Evo’s in Large. I wear LARGE in Alpinestars GP-Pro and other AStar models, MEDIUM in Teknic and Icon for comparison.
My hand measurements:
9cm - Across the widest part of the palm
19.5cm - From middle finger to the first wrinkle on my writs (or the beginning of the wrist)
21cm – all around the widest part of the palm/knuckles
Like I said, I got these in large and the fit is perfect!
A lot of reviewers advise to go a size larger, but I will say these fit pretty much the same as any Alpinestars glove I have tried. So if you wear a Large in Alpinestars, I would go with large and NOT extra large in the GP-Evo. But then again, everyone is different. Just sharing my experience.
Here are a couple of pics:
Thanks for reading and ride safe!
