Product Information

Full details

The Alpinestars SP-3 Gloves are designed for motorcyclists seeking superior protection and comfort. Derived from Alpinestars' racing experience, these gloves offer enhanced flexibility and abrasion resistance, making them ideal for road use. However, the focus on protection means the gloves may feel slightly less flexible than some casual riding gloves. Key features include a pre-curved design, PU-covered knuckle protectors, and strategic padding for a secure and comfortable fit.

FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

These gloves are not specifically designed to be waterproof, but they offer some water resistance. For riding in wet conditions, consider waterproof over-gloves.

What kind of protection do these gloves offer?

They provide abrasion resistance from the goat leather, impact protection with the PU-covered SP knuckle protector, and padding on fingers, palm, cuff, and thumb.

How do I measure my hand for sizing?

Measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles, excluding the thumb. Then, consult the Alpinestars size chart for your size.

Can I use these gloves for racing?

While the SP-3 gloves offer excellent protection and are race-inspired, they may not meet the specific requirements of professional racing. Check regulations before use.

How do I clean the knuckle protector?

Wipe the knuckle protector with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty on these gloves?

Alpinestars typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Check your receipt or contact Alpinestars for warranty details.

Can I return the gloves if they don't fit?

Check the retailer's return policy. Most retailers allow returns or exchanges within a specific timeframe if the gloves are unused and in original condition.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try a size larger or allow for a break-in period if the gloves are new.

Difficulty moving fingers.

The gloves may be too small or require breaking in. Try flexing your hands frequently to loosen the leather.

Stitching coming undone.

Inspect the gloves and contact Alpinestars support or a local retailer for repair or replacement.

Leather feels stiff.

The gloves may require breaking in. Wear them during short rides to soften the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
