This lightweight, short motorcycle glove looks like a summer glove, though the present assets allow for a lot more options. Waterproof they are too, just like they are sleek and sporty.
Leather and stretch mesh, those are the basic materials which 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 it is not the first time that Alpinestars developed a good, performing motorcycle glove with the S Max Drystar ®. All materials are located where they stand out best or have the most optimal effect. Drystar® is the house membrane of Alpinestars.
Concerning the outside elements, you’re good. The combination of 'short' and 'waterproof' tends towards the mid-season, although a bit of a biker will be able to ride all through the year with them. Especially in times of heated grips and good covers.
Impact protection is also situated at a high level: Alpinestars, you know. The S Max Drystar immediately inspires the necessary confidence, with thanks to the (slightly rough) covered knuckle protector. 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 strip of velcro.
Those who prefer a little space between sleeve end and motorcycle glove, will find in this S Max Drystar® a very pleasant and very interesting, versatile companion-de-route.
