What is the warranty on these gloves?
Alpinestars typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Check with the retailer or Alpinestars for specific warranty details.
Can I use these gloves for street riding?
While these gloves offer protection, they are specifically designed for off-road and motocross activities. For street riding, consider gloves designed for that purpose.
How do I ensure the gloves last longer?
Follow the care instructions, avoid excessive wear and tear, and store the gloves properly when not in use.
Are these gloves suitable for summer riding?
No, these gloves are designed for cold weather and are not suitable for summer riding due to the full Neoprene construction.
What material is the palm made of?
The palm is made of synthetic suede for enhanced durability and grip.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or loose.
Check the size and ensure it is the right fit. Re-adjust the Hypalon closure for a more secure fit. If necessary, consult the size chart.
Gloves are not providing enough warmth.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers or consider using glove liners for added warmth in extremely cold conditions.
The gloves are damaged or torn.
Inspect the gloves for damage after each use. If damage is found, repair it if possible or consider replacing the gloves.
