I second the alpine tightness. I ordered a pair simply in the colors I wanted. they got here. tight as can be. im sure I popped a few threads on the first install and take off.

so if you can get to a place to try on a few, do so... also, I bought the 200$ pair as well from Alpinestars, and the big advantage is the fireproofing. honestly, I could have done well with a pair of D-Lineman gloves that I used to wear in college for almost a 3rd of the price.

if you're going for a full fireproof suit setup...good buy. if not, that loot can be spent elsewhere, even towards a set of tires.
