This sale collection features a wide range of motocross gloves designed for different riding styles and conditions. You'll find options from lightweight, breathable gloves for warm-weather riding to more protective models with reinforced knuckles and palm padding for aggressive track use. The collection includes both youth and adult sizes, with various closure systems and materials suited for everything from casual trail riding to competitive motocross racing.
Many gloves in this collection feature touchscreen-compatible fingertips, allowing you to use smartphones and GPS devices without removing your gloves. This feature is particularly useful for adventure riders and those who need to access navigation or communication tools during rides. Check individual product specifications to confirm touchscreen compatibility for specific models.
Motocross gloves should fit snugly without restricting movement or circulation. Measure around your dominant hand at the widest part (excluding the thumb) and refer to the Alpinestars sizing chart. The gloves should feel tight initially, as they will break in with use. Ensure the fingertips reach the end of each finger without excess material, and that you can comfortably grip the handlebars and operate controls. A proper fit is essential for both comfort during long rides and maintaining precise control of your bike.
Alpinestars MX gloves utilize advanced technical materials engineered for durability and performance. Common materials include synthetic leather and microfiber for flexibility and grip, mesh panels for ventilation, and reinforced areas using materials like Clarino or premium leather for high-wear zones. Many models feature silicone or rubberized palm prints for enhanced grip, while knuckle and finger areas may include TPU or carbon fiber protection. These materials are selected to provide the optimal balance of protection, comfort, breathability, and bar feel required for motocross riding.
To extend the life of your MX gloves, hand wash them in cold water with mild detergent after particularly muddy or sweaty rides. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage protective elements and bonded materials. Never use bleach or harsh chemicals. After washing, reshape the gloves and air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause materials to crack or fade. For light cleaning between washes, wipe down with a damp cloth. Proper care maintains the gloves' protective features, grip performance, and overall durability throughout the riding season.
