Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?

How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Alpinestars sizing chart for gloves. Measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point, excluding the thumb. Ensure a snug but not overly tight fit.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more often if the gloves are frequently exposed to drying conditions or harsh elements.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
No, washing these gloves in a washing machine is not recommended as it can severely damage the leather and the protective components.

Do these gloves offer impact protection?

Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight initially
New leather gloves often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, and they should stretch and conform to your hand over time. Avoid forcing them on if they are excessively tight.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner according to the product's instructions. This will help restore moisture and suppleness to the leather.
Stitching appears loose
Inspect the stitching carefully. If it is minor, it may not affect performance. For significant or structural stitching issues, contact customer support.
Discoloration of leather
This can occur due to exposure to sunlight or certain chemicals. Ensure gloves are stored properly and avoid contact with harsh substances. Specialized leather cleaners might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: To clean the leather, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather. For stubborn dirt, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a quality leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply the conditioner with a soft cloth and buff gently.
- Drying: If the gloves get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can cause the leather to shrink or become brittle.
- Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
