Alpinestars SP-8 V3 Gloves – Full Gauntlet Leather, CE-Certified Protection for Street & Track

Versatile protection meets street-ready comfort

The Alpinestars SP-8 V3 gloves are designed for riders who demand a blend of performance and practicality. With a full-gauntlet silhouette, they offer extended coverage that protects the wrist and lower forearm while remaining comfortable for daily commutes, weekend rides, and occasional track sessions.

Crafted for durability and feel, these gloves emphasize a controlled, confident grip. They pair a premium goat leather exterior with thoughtful perforations to support airflow on hotter days or during slow-speed city traffic, helping hands stay cooler without compromising protection.

Premium materials and breathability

Premium full-grain goat leather delivers abrasion resistance and a refined tactile surface that responds to throttle and brake inputs. Strategically perforated zones boost ventilation where riders typically heat up, which can help maintain comfort during extended rides.

• abrasion-resistant leather that still feels supple
• perforations designed to increase airflow

Comfort, mobility, and natural feel

Accordion stretch panels and a pre-curved finger shape follow the hand’s natural motion. This design supports easy steering input, precise gear shifts, and reduced fatigue on long rides—whether carving twisties or cruising highways.

• enhanced grip with flexible, intuitive movement
• pre-curved construction minimizes hand fatigue

CE-certified protection you can rely on

Ergonomic knuckle armor and reinforced side panels provide CE-certified protection against impacts and abrasion. The protective structure is integrated into a full gauntlet, offering additional wrist coverage for riders who value security on spirited rides or daily commutes.

• CE-certified knuckle protection for peace of mind
• reinforced side panels add durability at high-wear points

Smart usability on the move

Touchscreen-compatible fingertips let you tap a phone or GPS without removing your gloves, while an adjustable hook-and-loop closure delivers a secure, tailored fit for different hand shapes and riding styles. The result is a glove that stays in place through quick lane changes or rapid braking.

• gesture-friendly fingertips for device control
• adjustable closure ensures a snug, reliable fit

In real-world riding, the SP-8 V3 gloves offer a balanced mix of protection, comfort, and practicality. They convey a sense of confident grip on the bar, a breathable feel in warm weather, and a secure fit that enables precise control across a range of riding situations. While performance will vary by rider and conditions, these gloves present a compelling option for those who want gear that adapts to sport, touring, and urban riding scenarios.
