Alpinestars SP-8 V3 Motorcycle Gloves, Full-Grain Goat Leather, Black — CE-Certified, Knuckle Protection

Alpinestars SP-8 V3 Gloves are full-grain goat-leather, CE-certified sport gloves built for high-performance road and track riding, combining race-derived protection with all-day comfort.

Designed for riders who demand a blend of protection, tactile feedback, and mobility, the SP-8 V3 brings MotoGP-inspired safety features into a street-ready glove. The construction uses multi-panel full-grain goat leather, an integrated dual-density SP knuckle system, reinforced palms, and anatomical shaping to reduce fatigue while preserving precise control over levers and grips.

How do these gloves protect my hands during aggressive riding?

The SP-8 V3 pairs impact protection with abrasion resistance so you retain security without sacrificing feel. The dual-density SP knuckle shell and reinforced landing zones absorb and disperse forces, while full-grain goat leather resists wear in a slide.

• MotoGP-derived dual-density SP knuckle protection
• Reinforced palm and landing zone padding
• Multi-panel leather construction for tear resistance

Will the SP-8 V3 keep my hands comfortable on long rides?

Comfort is addressed through an anatomically profiled fit and targeted stretch elements that follow the hand’s natural curve. Perforated leather zones and ventilation panels improve airflow, and a pre-shaped finger layout minimizes bunching and rider fatigue over extended use.

• Anatomically profiled grip and pre-shaped fingers to reduce fatigue
• Accordion stretch panels at fingers and thumb for mobility
• Perforation and strategic vents to promote cooling

How do these gloves handle control and device use?

The SP-8 V3 maintains rider input precision with a responsive palm surface and a new grip insert while also supporting modern connectivity. Touchscreen-compatible fingertips allow you to operate phones or GPS systems without removing gloves, and the hook-and-loop cuff keeps the glove securely seated during aggressive inputs.

• New anatomically profiled palm and thumb grip insert for feel
• Touchscreen-capable fingertips for on-the-fly navigation
• Hook-and-loop cuff closure for a locked-in fit

What construction details improve durability and fit?

The SP-8 V3 uses multi-panel assembly and reinforced stitching in high-stress areas for long life, while ergonomic elements refine the fit. A finger bridge option and a stretch wrist insert further stabilize the hand in crash scenarios and improve comfort during aggressive riding.

• Full-grain goat leather panels with reinforced stitching
• Finger bridge and reinforced seams in impact zones
• Ergonomic stretch wrist insert for a customized seal
