Gloves, without a doubt, are an important part of any rider's protection apparel. The general rule of thumb is: the more protection the better. That may be true, but not everyone is willing to sport a glove that goes all the way up to their elbows just to be safe. Alpinestars recognizes this and aimed to provide full protection in a more compact package with its Octane Leather Gloves.
The Octane features heavy-duty thermoplastic knuckle guards. The all-leather construction is very well ventilated with perforated fingers and palms. Alpinestars says this design allows maximum cooling without compromising the safety of the gloves. These mitts are also designed to fit on your hand like a... well, like a glove. The Italian company uses an innovative open-back knuckle design as well as accordion-like flex panels on the fingers. Combined with the short glove design and a nice hefty Velcro wrist closure, this ensures the glove won't be sliding or bunching up on your hands.
Alpinestars is at the top of its game in the motorcycle world. Synonymous with quality and style, they are a main player in street and off-road riding. These gloves are no exception and should provide excellent protection, fit, and durability.
