FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, the SP-8 V3 gloves are not waterproof. They offer good breathability with the perforated design.

What is the warranty period?

Warranty information is not available in the provided data. Please refer to the Alpinestars website or contact their customer service for warranty details.

Can I use these gloves for racing?

While the SP-8 V3 gloves offer excellent protection, some racers might prefer gloves with more features specifically designed for racing.

How do I measure my hand for the correct size?

Measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles (excluding the thumb) and the length from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. Compare these measurements with the Alpinestars size chart.

How should I clean the gloves?

Wipe the gloves with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or excessive water. Let them air dry naturally.

Can I use these gloves in the rain?

They are not waterproof. They may provide some protection in light rain, but prolonged exposure will result in wet gloves.

What kind of protection do the gloves offer?

They offer impact protection with the MotoGP-derived SP dual density knuckle protector. They also feature abrasion resistance due to the leather construction and finger bridge.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try a size up or consult the size chart again. Gloves may stretch slightly with use.

Difficulty using touchscreen devices.

Ensure your fingertips are making direct contact with the screen. Try pressing a little harder or repositioning your fingers.

Stitching coming undone

Contact Alpinestars customer support for warranty evaluation. Do not attempt to repair the gloves yourself as this will void any warranty.

Gloves feel too loose.

Tighten the wrist and cuff closures. If the problem persists, the gloves may be too large.
