What CE certification does the GP Plus R V3 hold, and how does it compare to the GP Pro R4?

The GP Plus R V3 is CE certified to EN 13594:2015 Level KP 1 — the same certification level as the GP Pro R4. The primary distinction is material: the GP Pro R4 uses a kangaroo leather palm (thinner, stronger, higher tactile feedback); the GP Plus R V3 uses full goat leather throughout (excellent abrasion resistance, more accessible price point). Both provide Level KP 1 knuckle protection; the GP Pro R4 adds aramid backhand reinforcement and a longer, more protective DFS gauntlet cuff.

What does "derived from Supertech Racing Gloves" mean for the cuff?

The Supertech Racing Gloves are Alpinestars' top-specification MotoGP-homologated race gloves. The arm locking cuff system — an aramid stretch fabric that extends up the forearm and is secured by hook-and-loop closure — was developed for the Supertech programme and adapted for the GP Plus R V3. The material and geometry ensure the glove stays locked on the forearm in a crash, preventing the glove from being pulled off during a slide.

Is the GP Plus R V3 suitable for both track days and everyday sport riding in Italy?

Yes — this is the intended dual use. The full-leather construction and CE Level KP 1 certification meet the track day requirements in most of the circuits. The touchscreen-compatible index finger, shorter gauntlet profile, and immediate comfort fit make it practical for sport road riding and daily commuting. For full-race or dedicated track use requiring maximum forearm protection, the GP Pro R4's extended DFS gauntlet provides greater coverage.

How should I care for the GP Plus R V3 to maintain the leather?

Clean with a soft damp cloth after each use to remove road grime. Apply a quality leather conditioner every 3–5 uses to maintain suppleness — dry leather hardens and reduces abrasion resistance over time. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat sources. Store flat or on a glove form; avoid folding the cuff sharply. The TPU knuckle and DFS components do not require conditioning and should be inspected for cracks or separation periodically.
