Featuring CE-certified knuckle protection and a durable goat leather construction, they offer superior abrasion resistance. The pre-curved finger design and accordion stretch panels enhance grip and mobility, reducing fatigue on long rides. Strategically placed perforation ensures optimal airflow, keeping your hands cool even in India's warmer climate. This meticulous design ensures you receive a product engineered for both performance and everyday riding. **Ideal for Indian Riders, Who Should Consider Alternatives** — These gloves are perfect for motorcycle enthusiasts in India seeking premium protection and comfort for sport, touring, and urban riding. They are ideal for riders who prioritize CE-certified safety features and durable leather construction. However, riders in extremely hot and humid regions who require maximum ventilation might find heavily perforated textile gloves more suitable for daily commutes. Those seeking extremely lightweight, non-leather options for casual riding may also explore alternative materials. ## How to use 1. Measure the circumference of your dominant hand at its widest point (excluding the thumb). Compare this measurement to the Alpinestars sizing chart to select the correct glove size (e.g., Medium). — Measure Your Hand 2. Slide your hand into the glove, ensuring your fingers align with the pre-curved design. The glove should feel snug but not restrictive, allowing for full finger movement. — Put On Gloves 3. Fasten the hook-and-loop wrist closure securely. It should be tight enough to prevent the glove from slipping off during a ride but comfortable enough not to impede circulation. — Secure Wrist Closure 4. Verify that the touchscreen-compatible fingertips on the index finger and thumb can operate your smartphone or GPS device accurately without removing the gloves. — Test Touchscreen ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Primary Material | Full-grain Goat Leather | | Reinforcement | Reinforced Palm, Side Panels | | Stretch Panels | Accordion Stretch Panels | | Protection | CE-Certified Ergonomic Molded Knuckle Armor | | Touchscreen | Conductive Fingertips | | Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Use | Sport, Touring, Urban Motorcycle Riding | | Season Suitability | All-season with ventilation for warmer climates | | Shelf Life After Opening | N/A (Durable Goods) | | Reapplication Math | N/A (Durable Goods) | | Contraindications | Not suitable for extreme cold or heavy monsoon conditions without additional protection. | | Allergens / Common Irritants | Leather may cause reactions in individuals with severe leather allergies. | | Brand | Alpinestars | | Model Name | SP-8 V3 | | Part Number | 355 8321 | | Color | Black/White/Red Fluo | | Size | Medium | | Material | Goat Leather, Textile | | Closure Type | Hook and Loop | | Pattern | Solid | | Fit Type | Vehicle Specific | | Department | Men's | | Glove Type | Motocross, Street Riding | | Sport Type | Motorcycle Racing | | Item Weight | 0.31 kg (0.68 lb) | | Item Dimensions | 20 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm (7.9 in x 7.9 in x 7.9 in) | | Country of Origin | Imported from authorized US retailers — US retail version, sourced from authorized US retailers | ## Frequently asked questions ### Are these Alpinestars SP-8 V3 gloves CE-certified?
