This lightweight, short motorcycle glove looks like a summer glove, though the assets present allow for a lot more options. Waterproof they are, just like sleek and sporty.
Alpinestars only talks about 'stars' in a female context, so this Stella S Max Drystar® is the female version of the male version with the same name. And although each hand simply counts five fingers, these motorcycle gloves are just a bit finer and more feminine.
Leather and stretch mesh, those are the basic materials that Alpinestars cleverly combines on the outside. Fully justified of course, because wear-resistant as they are, they lend themselves perfectly for what a motorcycle glove should do. Especially because with the Stella S Max Drystar ® it is not the first time Alpinestars has developed a good, performing motorcycle glove. All materials are located where they have the best effect. Drystar® is the house membrane of Alpinestars.
So, what the elements are concerned, no need to worry. The combination of 'short' and 'waterproof' tends towards the mid-season, although a bit of a biker will be able to ride a large chunk of the year. Especially in times of heated grips and good wind covers.
Impact protection is also situated at a high level: Alpinestars, you know. The Stella S Max Drystar immediately inspires the necessary confidence and the (slightly rough) covered knuckle protector has something to do with that. It is one of the hard kind. The fingers have to make do with padding. As mentioned before, every material is in exactly the right place: palm, side of the little finger and - luckily - also the touchscreen-compatible fingertip.
The short cuff features a stripe of velcro.
Those who prefer a little space between sleeve end and motorcycle glove, will find in this Stella S Max Drystar® a very pleasant and very interesting, versatile companion-de-route.
