I've just bought myself a new pair of gloves, now it's been some 5 years since I bought my last pair. These have the carbon across the knuckle, now in the shop they felt fine but after about 20 minutes riding they started to put pressure on my knuckles, will the leather around the carbon give a little to make these a bit more comfy or do I need to unpick the stitching and take them back? Also the secocond finger tip started to get a bit tight but I would imagine that the leather would give there!

Any advice or have I nothing to worry about

Cheers

Dave

i have a pair of alpinestars that sound similar to yours. they do take a bit of breaking in but are superb eventually

had the same problem with my RST's, but they broke in nicely and i can't fault 'em now

Doesnt seem to be any quality control nowadays.Alpinestars,a top brand most people would say,the sizing varies from glove to glove.Recently bought a pair,the little finger on one is much narrower than the other.
Doesnt pay to try a pair on that are on display,and expect the ones in the box to be the same.

Oh good coz these are the RST's, look similar to Astars but without the price tag.
