Breaking-in new gloves

[glsuk1970]

Any tips for speeding up the break-in period? I've just bought some Alpinestars GP Plus gloves and the right hand one is a bit tight across the knuckles where the armour sits.

I've had a mooch around Google but can't find anything sensible (fill the glove with water and freeze for example!).

Cheers!

I was going to ask this exact question. I've just bought some Alpinestars SP1's and they are a bit tight at the mo. Felt perfect in the shop but after 5 or 10 mons on the bike they are a little tight. I know they'll give but how long does it usually take,

I sleep with mine on to break them in.... seems weird but it works for me! The mrs might not be so approving, but if she likes a bit of leather????? who knows lol

MY SP1s were tight to begin with, first full day's ride out was hard work, since then there's been no issue.

A few miles seems to be the answer.

I think you might be right. Done a few miles since posting yesterday and they seemed to have eased off a little bit, I just need to get out more :D
