Product Information
Full details
The Alpinestars Phenom Leather Gloves are designed for adult riders seeking a comfortable, protective, and stylish short glove for everyday and weekend riding across various motorcycle types. Their key benefit lies in the premium soft goat leather construction combined with strategic reinforcements and hard knuckle protection, offering immediate comfort and robust safety. A potential caveat for some riders might be the short cuff design, which may offer less wrist coverage compared to gauntlet-style gloves.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for cold weather riding?
The Phenom Leather Gloves are primarily designed for comfort and protection in mild to warm conditions. They offer minimal insulation and are not recommended for riding in freezing temperatures.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point and the length of your hand from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. Compare these measurements to the Alpinestars sizing chart available on their official website or retailer product pages.
Can I use these gloves with touchscreen devices?
These gloves are made from leather and do not typically feature integrated touchscreen compatibility. You may need to remove the gloves to operate a smartphone or GPS device.
What is the main difference between this model and a full gauntlet glove?
The main difference is the cuff length. The Phenom is a short cuff glove, ending around the wrist, while a gauntlet glove extends further up the forearm, offering more coverage and often a more secure connection with riding jackets.
Are the knuckle protectors removable?
The hard knuckle protectors are integrated into the glove's design for maximum protection and are not designed to be removable.
What is the warranty period for these gloves?
Warranty information can vary by region and retailer. Please refer to the product documentation or the retailer's terms and conditions for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight initially
This is common with new leather gloves. Wear them for short periods during non-riding activities to help them mold to your hands. Avoid forcing them on.
Stitching appears loose in a small area
Check if the stitching is merely cosmetic or if it affects the glove's structural integrity. For minor cosmetic issues, it may not require immediate attention. If it compromises protection, contact customer support.
Leather feels stiff after drying
Apply a quality leather conditioner designed for motorcycle apparel and allow it to absorb. This will restore suppleness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These gloves are designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit without restricting circulation. The hook-and-loop closure at the cuff allows for adjustment.
Compatibility: The Alpinestars Phenom Leather Gloves are a universal fit, suitable for sportbikes, nakeds, touring, and adventure motorcycles. They are designed for adult riders.
Care: To maintain the leather's quality and longevity:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the gloves with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the leather.
- Drying: If the gloves get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as excessive heat can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner specifically designed for motorcycle gear to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Apply sparingly and buff off excess.
