FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for all seasons?
These gloves are best suited for warm weather, spring, and summer riding due to their perforated design and mesh inserts which prioritize airflow. They offer limited insulation for cold conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Alpinestars sizing chart, typically found on the product's retail page or the manufacturer's website. Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your middle finger for accuracy.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and protective components. Hand clean only using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What kind of protection do these gloves offer?
The gloves feature a PU (polyurethane) knuckle guard for impact protection. They are made from full-grain leather for abrasion resistance.
How long does the leather conditioner last?
The longevity of the conditioner depends on usage and environmental conditions. It is generally recommended to reapply every few months or when the leather begins to feel dry.
Are the knuckle protectors hard or soft?
The knuckle protectors are made of PU, which is a type of flexible yet protective material, designed to absorb impact without being excessively rigid.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight
Leather gloves can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially. If still too tight after several uses, they may be the wrong size.
Touchscreen functionality is intermittent
Ensure the fingertips are clean and dry. The integrated material may require a firm press. Check for any dirt or debris on the fingertips.
Reduced airflow
Check the mesh panels for any blockages, such as dirt or debris. Clean gently with a soft brush or damp cloth.
Leather appears dry or cracked
The gloves need conditioning. Apply a dedicated leather conditioner according to product instructions and allow to absorb.
