Unmistakeable sports styling from Alpinestars, with plenty of protective elements to keep you safe on the road. The Alpinestars SP-8 gloves suit just about any sports bike or naked bike, and won’t frighten your wallet.

The Alpinestars SP-8 gloves feature a supple yet robust goatskin leather outer construction, offering a great amount of abrasion resistance. This abrasion resistant construction makes for the perfect outer material for a motorcycle glove, whilst retaining a level of comfort that makes your everyday riding a much more enjoyable experience.

This level of protection is furthered still with secondary layer overlays at key areas on the SP8 gloves, designed to take the abrasion resistance to the next level, a well-considered feature by Alpinestars. These key areas also feature double stitching, maximising the strength of these leather Alpinestars gloves by minimising the risk of seam failure if subjected to intense friction.

Additional leather can be seen in the form of a fourth finger bridge. The addition of a fourth finger bridge is a welcomed feature in any sports bike gloves, ensuring that a slide at the side of the hand doesn’t result in damage to the little finger due to unnatural movement if it grips the road surface.

Protection from the impacts that you may experience in an accident scenario is essential in any motorcycle glove, and something which the Alpinestars SP-8 gloves execute very well. A dual density knuckle protector at the back of the hand helps to eliminate some of the impact energy that can be experienced at the back of the hand. This knuckle protector is ergonomically shaped and is designed to cushion different and repeated impacts for maximum protection.

Soft density padding found around the Alpinestars SP-8 leather gloves help to further reduce the impact energy transferral without sacrificing the comfort within the gloves. These soft density inserts can be found at the back of the fingers, the back of the wrist and the back of the cuff, maximising your safety in the event of an accident. You’ll also find an Alpinestars ARShield protector at the scaphoid area, which consists of an abrasion resistant aramid fibre and polyamide material, maximising the abrasion resistance at this key area.

The fingers of these Alpinestars gloves are also pre-curved, helping to reduce the fatigue felt at the hand when travelling over longer distance or with more intense riding such as on a track day session. Perforated areas at the thumb of this Alpinestars glove help to channel cool air into the glove, cooling your hands as you ride. A welcomed feature for summer riders.

A Velcro cuff and Velcro wrist closure offers two fastening points, 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.
