Oops, my mistake, time to hunt down JP for his review on those Alpine Stars.

Will look at the model when I get home. For the most part, I dont like driving with gloves & there are sections on the glove that are really grippy. Sometimes I like to have the gloves when my hands get clammy but I still need to get use to the extra grip because it gets in the way of my inputs & release of the wheel making for less smooth transitions.
Works well in the winter too when driving with the windows down.

I would like gloves that fit like mechanic's gloves, but it seems like all racing gloves are longer by 2 -3 inches at the wrist

Generally speaking, if it is a racing glove, then it's going to be long, otherwise it would defeat the purpose. If you are set on getting short gloves, then look at general purpose gloves.

I might end up with some snazzy baseball batting gloves or mechanics gloves.
They might make a more cost effective solution too.

alpine stars are awesome gloves. expensive, though.
i just got some oakley gloves that i like a lot.
i recommend going to the store to try on a bunch. See what fits you best. the infineon store is probably the best local store.
