Alpinestars SP-8 V3 Leather Motorcycle Gloves, Large — Black, Full-Gauntlet CE Protection & Touchscreen

Alpinestars SP-8 V3 gloves are full-gauntlet, CE-certified leather motorcycle gloves built for sport riders who want track-level protection with street comfort. These gloves pair full-grain goat leather construction with MotoGP-derived impact elements to deliver abrasion resistance, knuckle protection, and a race-oriented ergonomic fit. Breathable perforations and accordion stretch panels maintain comfort and control for long days in the saddle, while touchscreen-capable fingertips and an adjustable wrist closure make them practical for everyday riding.

How do these gloves protect my hands in a slide or impact?

The SP-8 V3 uses full-grain goat leather for strong abrasion resistance combined with molded dual-density knuckle armor derived from Alpinestars race technology. Reinforced palm padding and side panels absorb and spread forces, and the full-gauntlet cuff helps protect the wrist and lower forearm in a fall.

• CE-certified molded knuckle protection for impact absorption
• Full-grain goat leather for enhanced abrasion resistance
• Reinforced palm and landing zone padding to reduce friction injuries
• Extended gauntlet cuff to shield wrist and forearm

Will these gloves stay comfortable during long or aggressive rides?

The SP-8 V3 is shaped with a pre-curved, anatomically profiled construction that follows the hand’s natural riding position to minimize fatigue. Accordion stretch panels at the fingers and thumb improve dexterity, and perforated leather zones plus strategic ventilation keep airflow moving across the hand on warm days.

• Pre-curved fingers reduce grip strain and enhance control
• Accordion stretch panels increase flexibility for braking and shifting
• Perforated zones and vents promote cooling during extended use
• Ergonomic wrist insert and hook-and-loop closure for a secure fit

Can I use a phone or GPS without taking these gloves off?

Yes — the SP-8 V3 includes touchscreen-compatible fingertips so you can operate modern devices while keeping the gloves on. This preserves protection and convenience when checking navigation, answering short calls, or adjusting settings on the move.

• Touchscreen-capable material on thumb and forefinger
• Maintains protective cover over fingertips during device use
• Quick wrist closure for fast on/off without compromising fit

How do these gloves fit with other riding gear and styles?

The black finish and race-inspired silhouette make the SP-8 V3 versatile with sport leathers, textile jackets, and touring rigs. The full-gauntlet length tucks under or over sleeves depending on jacket style, and the streamlined profile keeps them usable on both track days and daily commutes.

• Classic black color matches varied riding apparel
• Gauntlet design works with both sleeve-in and sleeve-over setups
• Race-oriented cut pairs well with sport and touring jackets
