Product Information

Full details

The Alpinestars SP-365 Drystar Gloves are designed for adult motorcyclists seeking a high-performance, all-weather riding glove. Their key benefit is the combination of 100% waterproof and breathable Drystar technology with superior protection and control sensitivity. A potential caveat is the reduced material design, which while enhancing sensitivity, may be a consideration for those prioritizing maximum insulation in extreme cold.

FAQs

Are the Alpinestars SP-365 Drystar Gloves truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature Alpinestars' 100% waterproof and breathable Drystar performance membrane, designed to keep your hands dry in wet conditions.

Can I use these gloves with my smartphone?

Yes, the index fingertip is touchscreen compatible, allowing you to use smartphones and GPS devices without removing the gloves.

What kind of protection do these gloves offer?

They offer significant protection through Alpinestars' SP knuckle protector for impact and abrasion resistance, leather on the palm, and reinforced synthetic leather on the outer hand.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Select the correct size based on measurement guides. The dual hook-and-loop closures at the cuff and wrist allow for a secure, customizable fit.

Are these suitable for very cold weather?

While they offer all-weather protection, their design prioritizes sensitivity and breathability. For extreme cold, additional thermal insulation might be preferred. EVA foam padding offers some comfort but not heavy insulation.

What is the Alpinestars Finger-Bridge?

The patented Finger-Bridge connects the fourth and fifth fingers to prevent excessive finger roll and separation in the event of an impact, enhancing safety.

How should I clean and care for my gloves?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, air dry naturally away from heat. Periodic reapplication of a suitable waterproofing treatment is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try adjusting the hook-and-loop closures at the cuff and wrist. Worn gloves will naturally conform to your hand shape over time with use.

Touchscreen functionality is not working.

Ensure the fingertip area is clean and dry. Some screen protectors or device cases might interfere with functionality. Try pressing slightly firmer.

Water seeps through the gloves.

Check the integrity of the Drystar membrane and seams. If the gloves are old or heavily used, the waterproofing may need reapplication or the gloves may need replacement. Ensure cuffs are properly sealed over or under jacket sleeves.

Reduced grip on controls.

Clean the palm area of the gloves to remove any dirt, oil, or residues. Ensure the reinforcements on the palm and thumb are not obstructed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 100% waterproof and breathable for all-weather riding.
  • Excellent protection with SP knuckle and reinforced abrasion zones.
  • Enhanced dexterity and sensitivity due to reduced material design and stretch inserts.
  • Secure and adjustable fit with dual hook-and-loop closures.
  • Touchscreen compatibility for convenient electronic device use.
  • Meets CE safety standards (EN 13594:2015, Level 1 KP).

Cons

  • May offer less insulation in very cold conditions due to a focus on sensitivity.
  • Reduced material design might be less robust for extreme off-road abuse compared to heavier gloves.
  • Specific maintenance required for the Drystar membrane to ensure longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no specific setup beyond ensuring the correct size is selected for a snug but comfortable fit. The adjustable hook-and-loop closures on the cuff and wrist allow for fine-tuning the fit.

Compatibility: The SP-365 Drystar gloves are designed for general motorcycling use. The touchscreen-compatible fingertip on the index finger allows for interaction with most modern smartphones and GPS devices. They are compatible with CE-certified riding apparel.

Care: To maintain the performance of your Alpinestars SP-365 Drystar Gloves:

  • Cleaning: Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents. For the interior, use a dedicated textile cleaner if necessary.
  • Drying: Always air dry the gloves naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and the Drystar membrane.
  • Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, consider applying a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for motorcycle gear and technical fabrics to maintain the Drystar membrane's effectiveness. Refer to product-specific care labels for detailed instructions.
  • Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
