Alpinestars SP-8 V3 Gloves
Here it is, in its third version, a leather sport touring glove from Alpinestars with true racing DNA. The Alpinestars *SP-8*. It's made of full-grain goatskin with well-positioned perforations and synthetic leather with 3D mesh on the back. This design ensures ample cooling air flow, which is great when you're touring on hot summer days. Why put up with hot, sweaty hands?
The *SP-8* motorcycle gloves also offer outstanding protection, including the innovative SP dual density floating knuckle protection. Alpinestars derived this design from the world of MotoGP.

One Goal. One Vision.
Its development of new procedures and materials, innovative detailed solutions and superior workmanship ensure that the Italian brand sports clothes manufacturer, alpinestars, has had a considerable competitive edge over its customers in the motor sport sector for the best part of 5 decades. alpinestars is in touch with leading racers in every conceivable discipline, from Formula 1 through to NASCAR, from U.S. Supercross through to MotoGP. Their experience flows directly into the development and optimisation of its products. This practical information, its passion for motor sport and an instinct for what critical fans want, form the basis of a product range that is renowned around the globe.
Most traditional, high-quality outer material with cult status for motorcycle clothing and accessories. Unmistakable in its natural, high-quality look, the strong image, ideally suited to both figure-hugging and highly functional designs. The biker's "second skin" still has the edge over any textile material when it comes to safety and resistance to abrasion and tearing. The way the material stretches as the clothing is worn means that leather clothing adapts to the body contours ideally, thus also guaranteeing that protectors fit optimally. Leather clothing should therefore always be bought with a close fit. Impregnation, leather oil and surface coatings guarantee good weather protection and a degree of rainproofing, but unfortunately also limit the breathability. Relatively heavy, but enthusiasts value this as a "quality feature". Looked after properly, it is very durable. Because leather does not itself offer much thermal insulation, the other features of the garment, or the base layers of clothing, must provide some help here.
