The Chrome V2 motorcycle gloves are the contemporary successors to the Alpinestars Chrome motorcycle gloves. They have a slightly sharper look than they actually are, as these are very comfortable and versatile summer motorcycle gloves.
Alpinestars draws inspiration for the Chrome V2 from where it matters most – the racetrack – but the design is lighter and more all-round, making them ideal for street use. They are distinctly summery, featuring plenty of mesh on the fingers and the back of the hand. This allows for a noticeable airflow without compromising too much on protection.
On the back of the hand, a combination of stretch fabric and (stretch) mesh ensures great flexibility and even more ventilation. Accordion panels on the fingers allow for natural hand movements. The palm features synthetic suede as the primary material, with silicone accents to enhance grip. The blend of different materials and textures results in a lightweight, comfortable, and pleasant glove overall.
The external knuckle protector is a key feature, drawing plenty of attention. Aside from the padding on the palm and heel of the hand, it provides the main impact protection found on the Chrome V2 motorcycle gloves.
The Chrome V2 is a short motorcycle glove. The Velcro strap ensures a secure fit, reaching just to the wrist. This also means extra ventilation around the wrist and, by extension, the forearm. The Chrome V2 motorcycle glove is essentially the definition of an urban motorcycle glove – ideal for safe, short rides and commuting in good weather.
The fingertips of the index finger and thumb are equipped with touchscreen-compatible material, allowing you to operate nearly any device near your motorcycle. The reflective accents are subtle in daylight, which is exactly as intended.
