Picture this. It’s springtime, its warm enough out to start commuting to work on the bike again. But the weather is still cool and there’s going to be rain later. The thought of spending another evening in rush hour traffic on the way home is unbearable. Well, that’s where the Alpinestars C-1 V2 Gore-Tex waterproof gloves enter the frame.

These Gore-Tex motorcycle gloves feature a hybrid textile and leather construction, bringing the best of both worlds to the table. The textile material found at the back of the hand is abrasion resistant and created with Gore-Tex’s wind stopping technology. This innovative wind stopper membrane from Gore-Tex is designed to minimise the effects of windchill when riding, perfect for those morning commute or early morning trips to the coast in the spring.

The use of a hardwearing leather construction at the palm of the Alpinestars C1 gloves increases the abrasion resistant properties of the glove, easily withstanding the intense friction that you may expect to experience in an accident scenario. Despite the heavy-duty protective properties of the leather, the material is very supple for greater comfort over longer distances while offering peace of mind that your hands will be protected from abrasion should the worst occur.

For protection from impacts, the Alpinestars C-1 V2 gloves feature an ergonomically shaped hard knuckle protector, helping to soak up and dissipate the impact energy that can occur at the back of the hand. This hard knuckle protection is located beneath the wind stopper textile material at the back of the hand for a cleaner, more integrated look to the C-1 Gore gloves. Further impact protection comes in the form of soft density padding found at the back of the fingers and thumb, maximising the protective properties without sacrificing your riding comfort.

If you’re riding through the winter months, there’s every chance that you’ll be caught riding in the rain, snow and anything else. So why settle for anything less than Gore-Tex waterproof technology to keep your hands dry when riding. Thanks to the use of official Gore-Tex in the Alpinestars C-1 V2 Gloves, damp hands are not something you’ll be concerned about, regardless of how many miles of wet weather riding you do. The Gore-Tex membrane within the gloves consists of over 1.4 billion microscopic pores per square centimetre; to put that into perspective, these pores are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet but 700 times larger than water vapour molecules. This means that you can ride through the worst weather that mother nature decides to throw your way without the risk of the water soaking through to your hands, yet still letting perspiration escape from within these Alpinestars Gore-Tex gloves to maximise the fresh feeling when you arrive at your destination.

For greater convenience when out on the road, a touch sensitive material at the tips of the index fingers and thumbs makes using your GPS navigation device possible, without the need to remove the gloves. These waterproof motorcycle gloves also feature a pre-curved finger construction, limiting the fatigue that can be felt when riding over longer distances while fighting the material makeup of the glove.

A Velcro cuff and wrist closure offers a simple yet reliable fastening point, ensuring that the glove and all the protective elements that are incorporated into the glove remain in the right place when they are needed most.

Available in sizes Small - 3XL.
