Alpinestars GP-X Gloves

These gloves are consistent with the major brands we carry, so hopefully you’ve had some experience with buying gloves and can choose based upon the fit of a previous pair. If you have no previous experience with glove sizing, go here for help.

The GP-X is a great looking glove and it’s super comfortable. This 3/4 length style is a nice compromise between a race gauntlet glove and the average short-cuff street glove. The glove has some padding on the short gauntlet providing some protection to the wrist. There is a molded knuckle protector and on the back of the hand as well. This knuckle protector is very nice and is similar to what Alpinestars uses on their high end race gloves. The knuckle protector also has a built in air scoop that seems to function well. The palm of the hand is reinforced with a synthetic suede material that offers additional abrasion protection and a superior grip. The glove also has a connection between the third and fourth fingers that helps protect the smallest two fingers from damage in case of a slide (a feature normally found in higher-end models).
