I'm looking to buy a new pair of A* gloves. Anyone have FHE with the GP plus and/or the SP 2.

I've got one generation removed of both. Their have been changes from what I have to the current models - but GP definitely has more protection and better venting. Generally, I use the GP the most and the SP when temps drop.

They tend to run small. For instance in Held I wear a 10, the GP Plus are an XXL and the SP are XL and really tight when it's warm.

I have the SP2 from a couple of years ago. I replaced them because I was afraid they wouldn't stay on in an accident. The only thing that keeps them on is the Velcro at the cuff. They don't have a wrist strap like the GP Plus.

i have an older set of GP-Plus gloves. I love them.
I LOVE the pinky-to-ring-finger attachment.

Yeah - forgot to mention that. It's a smart feature. Totally unobtrusive during normal riding or fiddling. You only ever notice it if you try to really fan your fingers.
