FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for winter riding?

The Alpinestars Phenom Gloves are primarily designed for moderate weather conditions. While they offer protection, they do not feature specific winter insulation or waterproofing, making them less ideal for cold or wet winter riding.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Alpinestars sizing chart for gloves, typically measuring the circumference of your palm and the length of your middle finger. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit is crucial for comfort and control.

Can I use these gloves with touchscreen devices?

These gloves are not specifically designed for touchscreen compatibility. The material and stitching on the fingertips may not reliably register on touchscreens.

What is the main difference between the black and black/white versions?

The primary difference is the colorway. Both versions share the same material, construction, and protective features. The choice depends on personal aesthetic preference.

How durable are the reinforcements?

The reinforcements on the side of the hand, wrist, and thumb are made from robust materials designed to withstand abrasion and impact, enhancing the glove's lifespan and rider protection in critical areas.

Do these gloves offer impact protection for the fingers themselves?

The Phenom gloves feature hard knuckle protection for the main impact zone on the back of the hand. While they offer general protection, they do not typically have individual finger armor.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Leather gloves will naturally stretch and mold to your hands over time. Wear them for short periods initially. If the fit remains uncomfortably tight after several uses, they may be the wrong size.

Leather stiffness after drying

If the gloves become stiff after drying, apply a specialized leather conditioner. This will help restore suppleness and flexibility to the leather.

Reduced grip on controls

Ensure the palm area is clean and free from any conditioning products that might make it slippery. Check that the glove size is appropriate; a loose glove can hinder grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Immediate comfort right out of the box.
  • Soft goatskin leather provides a premium feel.
  • Strategic reinforcements enhance durability and safety.
  • Hard knuckle protection offers solid impact defense.
  • Versatile sporty design suits various riding styles.
  • Good for both daily commutes and longer weekend trips.

Cons

  • Short cuff design may offer less wrist coverage than gauntlet gloves.
  • Fit can vary; trying them on is recommended.
  • May be less suitable for extreme weather conditions compared to specialized gloves.
  • Limited ventilation, potentially leading to heat buildup on very hot days.
  • Solely focused on leather, may not appeal to riders preferring textile or hybrid materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Alpinestars Phenom Gloves are designed for immediate use with no setup required. Simply ensure you have selected the correct size for a snug yet comfortable fit, allowing for full range of motion in your fingers and wrist.

Compatibility: These gloves are universally compatible with all types of motorcycles and scooters. They are designed for adult riders and are suitable for both male and female riders due to their unisex design.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of the goatskin leather:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the gloves with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the gloves.
  2. Drying: If the gloves get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a dedicated leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Apply sparingly according to the conditioner's instructions.
