FAQs

How do I measure my hand for the correct size?

Use a flexible measuring tape to measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles.

Are these gloves suitable for street riding?

Yes, but they are optimized for track use. They offer excellent protection for street riding but might be less flexible than gloves designed specifically for street use.

How should I clean my GP Pro R4 gloves?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the gloves. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.

Can I use these gloves in the rain?

These gloves are not specifically designed to be waterproof, but they will offer some protection against light rain. Consider waterproof gloves for wet conditions.

What are the DFS protectors?

DFS stands for Dynamic Friction Shield. These are hard protectors located on the knuckles and cuffs designed to reduce the risk of injury during a slide.

How long will the gloves last?

The lifespan of the gloves depends on the frequency of use and care. Regular cleaning and proper storage will help extend their life.
