Alpinestars SP-365 Drystar Gloves - Black

The SP-365 Drystar Gloves offer excellent waterproofing and breathability, making them suitable for a wide range of temperatures. However, for extreme heat, riders may prefer gloves with more ventilation panels. These gloves balance all-weather protection with reasonable comfort.

The key difference is the integrated Drystar® Performance membrane, which guarantees 100% waterproofing and breathability. Non-Drystar® gloves may prioritize ventilation or other features over all-weather protection.

Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your middle finger. Compare these measurements to the Alpinestars sizing chart available on their website or in product documentation to find the best fit.

It is not recommended to machine wash these gloves. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method to avoid damaging the materials and the waterproof membrane.

This indicates that the gloves have met European safety standards for motorcycle gloves, specifically EN 13594:2015, and have achieved Level 1 for impact protection (KP).

The PU and softshell construction is designed to be highly resistant to abrasion and durable, providing a strong core structure for the glove while maintaining flexibility.

The leather palm is specifically chosen for superior abrasion resistance in a key contact area. While leather is a durable material, its lifespan depends on usage, maintenance, and riding conditions.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart and try wearing them for a short period to allow for some break-in. The ergonomic stretch insert is designed to improve flexibility over time.

Check if the Drystar® membrane is intact. Ensure the cuff closure is securely fastened to prevent water entry from the sleeve opening. If the issue persists, the membrane may be compromised, and re-waterproofing or replacement might be necessary.

Ensure the fingertip area is clean and dry. Some touchscreen sensitivity can be reduced by dirt or moisture. Try pressing slightly firmer or ensuring full contact with the screen.

Verify the glove size is correct. The SP knuckle protector is designed to conform to the hand over time. If discomfort persists, the glove's shape may not be ideal for your hand structure.
