The multi-panel stretch poly-fabric and leather chassis of Alpinestars Drystar gloves incorporates a host of safety features such as the over-moulded hard knuckle protector, the patented finger-bridge and the foam padding reinforcements. The integrated waterproof Drystar membrane and Thinsulate lining means these gloves protect against not only an accident but the winter weather. Adding a durable stretch poly-textile upper with leather palm for optimised levels of abrasion resistance and comfort. The cut of the glove also makes a huge difference. Pre-curved glove construction both improves comfort as well as preventing hand muscle fatigue on those longer journeys.

TPR thumb and palm reinforcement gives the rider extra grip on the controls. At the same time these gloves offer great seam reinforcement in addition to durability. The company’s race-developed and patented third and fourth finger bridge prevents the dreaded finger roll and separation during impact. Then the smaller details, such as the reflective detailing, the touch-screen compatible fingertip for use with smartphones/tablets/GPS systems as well as the nice wide velcro cuff closure all make for a glove that’s easy to wear. The cuffs are also designed to close over the sleeve of the jacket which seals out the elements. Alpinestars gloves are available in international sizes S-3XL.
