The second version of these Alpinestars Reef motorcycle gloves are an updated version of the original. These lightweight summer gloves combine excellent grip and feel with Level 1 CE certification.
This new version looks sturdier and more refined. The palm slider is a fresh addition, and the knuckle protection is now more pronounced. The variety of designs still offers plenty of choice, with options for both men and women. One notable change: the chequered flag pattern from the first version is gone. Too bad, we quite liked it.
The gloves are made from a stretch mesh multi-fabric construction, delivering a lightweight feel and outstanding breathability. The synthetic suede palm has been enhanced with extra padding, while the back of the hand prioritises ventilation and flexibility. Reinforcements on the inside ensure a secure grip, and ample stretch keeps everything comfortable. The soft, ergonomic 3D TPU knuckle protector provides added impact protection without compromising comfort.
The Reef V2 isn’t waterproof, but that’s to be expected – these are pure summer gloves. The short cuff of the Reef V2 motorcycle gloves reinforces that, and a Velcro strap ensures a snug fit.
A nice finishing touch is the E-Touch technology: a conductive synthetic leather patch on the index finger and thumb, allowing you to use a touchscreen without taking off your gloves.
