FAQs
How do I measure my hand for the correct size?
Measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles, excluding the thumb. Use this measurement with the Alpinestars size chart to determine the correct glove size.
Can these gloves be used in the rain?
While the leather offers some water resistance, these gloves are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain may affect the leather. Consider using waterproof over-gloves in wet conditions.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few weeks, or more frequently if you ride in wet conditions or frequently clean the gloves.
What is the finger bridge?
The finger bridge is a connecting piece between the third and fourth fingers, designed to prevent finger separation during a slide, thus reducing the risk of injury.
What is the warranty on these gloves?
Alpinestars typically offers a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Check the product packaging or Alpinestars website for specific warranty details.
Are these gloves suitable for street riding?
Yes, these gloves are suitable for street riding, offering a balance of protection and comfort. They are particularly well-suited for sport and performance riding.
How do I clean the gloves?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the gloves. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
