FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the patented finger bridge?

The patented finger bridge connects the ring and little fingers to prevent finger separation and contortion in the event of an impact or slide.

Are these gloves suitable for all types of motorcycle riding?

These gloves are primarily designed for sports and performance riding due to their protective features and snug fit. While they can be used for other types of riding, their specific design benefits are most pronounced in sporty conditions.

How long does it typically take for the gloves to break in?

The break-in period can vary depending on usage, but generally, it takes several hours of riding or extended wear for the leather to fully conform to the rider's hand.

What is the protection level of the knuckle armor?

The gloves feature CE Level 1 certified knuckle armor, providing a good balance of protection and flexibility.

Can I wash these gloves?

It is not recommended to machine wash these leather gloves. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, and use a dedicated leather conditioner for care. Always air dry.

What material are the gloves made from?

The gloves are constructed from a durable leather and multiple-material blend.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight initially

This is normal for performance-oriented leather gloves. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the leather to conform to your hand shape. Avoid forcing them on if the fit is extremely restrictive.

Stitching appears loose in a small area

Inspect the stitching carefully. If it's a minor cosmetic issue that doesn't affect protection, it may not require immediate attention. For significant structural concerns, contact customer support.

Difficulty manipulating controls

Ensure you have the correct size. If the issue persists after a break-in period, check that the cuff closure is not obstructing your wrist movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These gloves are designed for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, performance-oriented fit. The adjustable cuff tab should be secured to prevent the glove from shifting during riding.

Compatibility:

The Alpinestars GP Plus R V2 Leather Motorcycle Gloves are designed for use with motorcycles and are suitable for adult male riders.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a damp cloth with mild soap for minor cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents. For leather care, use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  • Drying: If the gloves become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and internal materials.
  • Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their material integrity.
