FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point, excluding the thumb. Compare this measurement to the brand's sizing chart. It's also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can be personal.

Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?

The GP Plus R V2 are primarily designed for sport riding in moderate conditions. For extreme cold or heavy rain, consider layering with thermal liners or using specialized waterproof gloves.

What is the main difference between this and other Alpinestars gloves?

The GP Plus R V2 are optimized for aggressive sport riding with advanced protection and tactile feedback. Other models might focus more on touring comfort, casual wear, or different levels of protection.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

No, do not machine wash. Cleaning should be done by hand with a damp cloth and specialized leather cleaners. Machine washing will damage the leather and protective components.

How long should these gloves last?

With proper care and maintenance, these high-quality leather gloves can last for many seasons of regular use. Regular conditioning and correct cleaning are key to longevity.

What materials are used in the construction?

The gloves are constructed from premium leather, incorporating advanced protective materials and reinforcements for abrasion resistance and impact protection.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight after initial wear

Leather gloves will stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially. If still uncomfortably tight after several uses, consider exchanging for a larger size if within the return period.

Stitching is coming loose

Inspect the stitching. For minor loose threads, you may be able to carefully trim them. If significant stitching is loose, contact customer support for potential repair or replacement options.

Leather feels stiff after drying

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for motorcycle gloves. Work it into the leather gently and allow it to absorb. This will restore suppleness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are designed for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, yet comfortable fit.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the gloves in water. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
  2. Drying: Allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight). Never use a hairdryer or machine dryer, as this can damage the leather.
