FAQs

What is DFS?

DFS stands for Dynamic Friction Shield. It is Alpinestars' technology for knuckle and cuff protectors, designed to absorb impacts and reduce friction during a slide.

What materials are the gloves made of?

The gloves are made from a combination of cowhide and goatskin on the backhand, and kangaroo leather on the palm and fingers, along with aramidic fiber reinforcement.

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, the GP Pro R4 gloves are not waterproof. They are designed for racing and performance, prioritizing protection and feel.

How do I clean the gloves?

Clean the gloves with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the warranty on these gloves?

Warranty information can be found on Alpinestars' official website or from the retailer where the gloves were purchased.

Can I use these gloves for street riding?

While the GP Pro R4 gloves offer excellent protection, they are primarily designed for track use. Consider your riding style and the need for greater dexterity when deciding.

How should I store the gloves?

Store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight.

Check the sizing and ensure you have the correct size. If the gloves are new, they may require a short break-in period.

Difficulty gripping handlebars.

Ensure the gloves fit properly, and adjust the wrist and cuff closures for a secure fit. If grip issues persist, consider using handlebar grips suitable for racing.

Discomfort after extended use.

Adjust the gloves' fit and ensure no pressure points. Take breaks during long rides to prevent fatigue.
