The third version of the Corozal V3 Drystar motorcycle gloves is still named after a city in Belize and although they are mostly familiar with a tropical climate over there, these Corozal V3 Drystar motorcycle gloves are waterproof. The short cuff and distinct motocross appearance hide a versatile all-rounder with a wind and waterproof Drystar membrane.
There are motorcyclists who can wear this all year round. Decent heated grips and a preference for shorter cuffs are more than enough to get it done. The Corozal V3 is a lot more high-performing on and around your hands than its image, first impression or name suggests.
The exterior is made of a combination of materials – including lots of goatskin – that delivers a hardwearing motorcycle glove. The integrated Drystar membrane keeps your hands warm and dry, while the Drystar performance technology focuses on a thinner palm construction that delivers a surplus of grip and sensation. Without any compromises elsewhere.
Do we need to spell it out that the Corozal V3 Drystar are proof of top technology by Alpinestars? No? Alright, let’s focus then on impact protection with a prominent role for the large knuckle protector. The adventure element – a predilection for motocross and enduro – stands out once again; as is shown in the EVA padding on the fingers, sides of the hand and palm of the hand.
Depending on the mood and the presence of the sun, you might seem to choose a somewhat thicker motorcycle glove with the Corozal V3 Drystar, while on a rainy day, they can still measure up to any traditional mid-season motorcycle glove.
Above all else, this is Alpinestars. Each type of material is optimally used, each choice well-considered and everything revolves around that memorable motorcycle ride. From a (slightly) shaped construction, up to the touchscreen compatible fingertip or the pull tab emerging from the cuff.
The short cuff is meant to be shoved underneath the motorcycle jacket. When your arms are long or your sleeves are short, the Corozal V3 Drystar won’t reach that. The Velcro strip used to close this short motorcycle glove is at the end of an elastic band. Another clear wink to the motocross world.
There is maintenance clothing and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
