The Alpinestars SP-8 V3 Leather Glove is a versatile, full-gauntlet riding glove that incorporates advanced protection and comfort features derived from MotoGP technology. Constructed from a premium, highly abrasion-resistant combination of full-grain goat leather and synthetic leather, this glove offers exceptional durability, comfort, and feel.

Additional safety features include an Arshield reinforcement on the palm slider for superior abrasion resistance and Alpinestars' patented third and fourth finger bridge to prevent seam failure and finger separation in a slide.
