FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for cold weather?

The Alpinestars A-Aria Gloves are designed with ventilation for warm weather. They offer minimal insulation and are not recommended for cold or wet conditions.

What is the primary benefit of the suede palm?

The suede palm provides a high level of grip on the handlebars, enhancing control and reducing the need to grip too tightly, which can lead to fatigue.

How do I clean the suede palm?

Gently clean the suede palm with a damp cloth and mild soap. For restoring texture, use a suede brush. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Can these gloves be used for daily commuting?

Yes, their lightweight and comfortable design makes them suitable for daily commuting, especially in milder weather conditions where breathability is beneficial.

Do these gloves offer significant impact protection?

The A-Aria gloves are designed for lightweight performance and flexibility. They offer protection against abrasion and minor impacts but do not feature heavy padding or hard knuckle protection found on more aggressive riding gloves.

What makes the low-profile design advantageous?

The low-profile design enhances the rider's feel and connection to the motorcycle's controls, allowing for more precise throttle, brake, and clutch manipulation.

Are there different color options available?

This specific model is listed as 'Black Dark Gold'. Other colorways or variations may exist within the Alpinestars A-Aria line.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If still tight, try wearing them for short periods to allow the materials to break in slightly. Avoid stretching them excessively.

Reduced grip on handlebars.

Clean the suede palm with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt or oils. If the suede texture has flattened, use a suede brush to restore its nap. Ensure your handlebars are also clean.

Excessive heat build-up inside the glove.

While designed for ventilation, extreme heat can still cause discomfort. Ensure the ventilation panels are not obstructed. For exceptionally hot conditions, consider that these gloves prioritize airflow over heavy insulation.

Suede palm shows signs of wear.

Gently brush the suede to restore its appearance. For minor wear, a suede protector spray might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first. If significant wear impacts grip, consider replacement.
