GP Plus R V2, with a name like this, you immediately know which field of action we are in: that of the action, indeed. The GP Plus R V2 is a racing glove that stands out for its slightly wider entry, everything else is Alpinestars level.
With ergonomics and attention to detail at their very best, the GP Plus R V2 is a true motorcycle glove that far exceeds the average. Both in terms of performance and protection.
Cowhide and goatskin leather are the main components.
Those who go fast, want to do so comfortably and safely. For that first reason, the seams are on the outside. Also applicable in terms of comfort: the relatively long sleeve cover, the leather accordeon pieces on fingers, thumb and back of hand, and the ergonomic stretch panels on the palm. Each separately, but certainly as a whole, resulting in a motorcycle glove that is specifically designed to reduce fatigue.
There are also a number of safety features to mention: hard knuckle protection, hard TPU finger protection, a double locking system and the palm-slider stand out the most. There is the patented finger bridge between the little finger and the ring finger and there is the Aramid, which is not only visible, but is also integrated underneath in many places.
All those things together make the Alpinestars GP Plus R V2 a top act. Oh yes, the GP Plus R V2 is a CE certified (CAT II Level 1) motorcycle glove. You already suspected that.
