Collection: Motocross Gloves

(85)

The Alpinestars motocross gloves collection includes options for various MX disciplines and rider preferences. You'll find lightweight race gloves engineered for maximum feel and control, durable off-road gloves built for rugged terrain, and youth-specific designs scaled for younger riders. Each style incorporates protective features like reinforced knuckles, palm padding, and secure closure systems tailored to motocross demands.

Motocross gloves should fit snugly without restricting movement or circulation. Measure your hand circumference at the widest part (excluding the thumb) and refer to the Alpinestars sizing chart specific to each glove model. The gloves should feel secure at the wrist with minimal excess material in the fingers. Keep in mind that materials like leather may stretch slightly with use, while synthetic materials typically maintain their original fit.

Alpinestars MX gloves utilize advanced material combinations for optimal protection and performance. Common materials include clarino synthetic leather for durability and grip, stretch fabrics for flexibility, silicone palm prints for lever control, and TPR (thermoplastic rubber) knuckle protection. Premium models may incorporate carbon fiber knuckle guards, kangaroo leather palms for superior feel, and moisture-wicking mesh panels for ventilation during intense riding.

To extend the life of your MX gloves, hand wash them in cold water with mild detergent after muddy or sweaty rides. Avoid machine washing and never use bleach or harsh chemicals that can degrade protective materials and grip surfaces. Air dry the gloves at room temperature away from direct heat sources—do not tumble dry or place near radiators, as heat can damage synthetic materials and cause shrinkage. Store gloves in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Select models in the Alpinestars motocross gloves collection feature touchscreen-compatible fingertips, allowing you to use smartphones and GPS devices without removing your gloves. This feature is typically found on newer designs and premium models. Check individual product specifications to confirm touchscreen compatibility, as not all MX gloves include this functionality due to the focus on maximum protection and durability for off-road riding.
