The Alpinestars GP Plus R V3 Leather Gloves are street riding gloves built with track performance and racing adaptability in mind. They combine full leather coverage on the palm and backhand with an updated knuckle protector design and padding in key areas for added impact absorption.
For control on the bars, the gloves use a pre-curved shape and a racing-derived finger bridge, while hybrid seam construction on the fingers helps trim bulk for a more precise feel. Perforated leather and integrated Dynamic Friction Shield (DFS) technology are used to promote airflow and moisture management, and the index finger is touchscreen-compatible.
Comfort
Protection starts with a robust new knuckle protector design backed by CE Certified Level 1 knuckle protection. Comprehensive leather coverage across the palm and backhand is paired with padding in key areas to support impact absorption, making the GP Plus R V3 a focused option for riders who prioritize protective detailing in a leather glove.
Fitment
A pre-curved design helps the glove follow a natural riding hand position, reducing bunching when gripping the throttle and brake. An aramid stretch fabric cuff, inspired by Alpinestars’ Supertech Racing Gloves, is used to create a snug, secure fit.
Ventilation
To manage heat and comfort during harder riding, the GP Plus R V3 uses strategically placed perforations in the leather. Integrated Dynamic Friction Shield (DFS) technology is also used to promote ventilation and moisture management. Hybrid seam construction on the fingers reduces material bulk to help keep tactile feedback and grip feel direct.
Construction
The GP Plus R V3 uses hybrid seam construction on the fingers with the goal of reducing material bulk where riders feel it most. Less bulk at the seams can translate into a cleaner wrap around the controls and more consistent tactile feedback across the fingers. Combined with the glove’s pre-curved shape, this construction is aimed at delivering a more precise connection to the bars for street riders who demand a race-influenced fit and feel.
Ventilation
Ventilation in the GP Plus R V3 comes from two elements working together: perforated leather and integrated Dynamic Friction Shield (DFS) technology. The perforations are placed to encourage airflow through the glove, while DFS is specified as supporting ventilation and moisture management. For riders doing spirited street miles, this combination is intended to keep comfort steadier as effort and temperatures rise.
