FAQs

How do I measure my hand size for the correct fit?

Use a flexible measuring tape to measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point (excluding the thumb). Consult the Alpinestars sizing chart to determine the appropriate glove size.

Can I use these gloves in the rain?

The SMX-2 Air Carbon V2 gloves are not fully waterproof, but offer some water resistance. They are best suited for dry and warm conditions. For riding in the rain, consider gloves specifically designed for waterproof performance.

How should I store my gloves when I am not using them?

Store your gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This will help maintain the materials and extend their lifespan.

What kind of protection do these gloves offer?

These gloves offer impact protection with carbon fiber knuckle guards and EVA foam padding. They also feature a durable, abrasion-resistant outer shell.

Are the gloves machine washable?

No, the gloves are not machine washable. Clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.

How do I care for the leather and mesh materials?

Wipe the gloves with a damp cloth after each use to remove any dirt or debris. For leather sections, apply a leather protectant if necessary. Allow to air dry naturally.

What is the warranty on these gloves?

Alpinestars provides a warranty against manufacturing defects. Refer to the product packaging or the Alpinestars website for warranty details.

What should I do if the carbon fiber knuckle guard breaks?

If the carbon fiber knuckle guard is damaged, discontinue use of the gloves immediately and replace them. The carbon fiber guard is crucial for impact protection, and a damaged guard compromises safety.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight.

Ensure the correct size was selected. The gloves may feel snug initially. If discomfort persists, consider a larger size or a different glove model.

Touchscreen functionality is not working.

Make sure your fingertips are properly contacting the screen. Try cleaning the fingertips of the gloves to ensure they are free of dirt or debris.

The gloves are not ventilating effectively.

Ensure the gloves fit properly, with no obstructions to airflow. If riding in cooler conditions, the gloves may not feel as breathable.
