Short goatskin glove with a TPU knuckle protector, patented finger bridge and EN 13594 Level 1 KP certification. Built for naked and sports bikes on the road.
Why it stands out
The SP-2 v3 is Alpinestars’ sporty short glove: it closes at the wrist like a road glove, but with more leather and protection designed for riders who ride fast on a naked or sports bike.
- Goatskin with synthetic suede reinforcements on the palm and landing zones.
- TPU knuckle protector.
- Alpinestars’ patented finger bridge, which stops the fingers rolling or separating in an impact.
- Perforated cuff and vented finger sidewalls.
- EN 13594:2015 Level 1 KP certification.
- Touchscreen index finger and thumb.
What to know
It is a short-cuff glove: it goes inside your jacket sleeve. For track days or maximum wrist protection, you need a gauntlet.
Our verdict
A very good option for road riding on a sports or naked bike. Compared with the Alpinestars SP-8 v3, it is more focused on sporty riding; for track days, the Dainese Carbon 4 Long goes a step further.
