With winter now firmly taking hold of the New Year weather, year-round bikers will be reaching for their heavyweight gloves in order to keep riding comfortably. Alpinestars has two new models to keep fingers cosy as the mercury falls: the WT-1 aimed at commuters, and the XT-3 for adventure bikers.
WT-1The WT-1 is a long-cuff glove featuring a Drystar waterproof membrane and 100g breathable insulation. Soft PU knuckles add impact protection without hampering movement and a suede palm provides grip and durability. They come in men’s or ladies’ versions for an SRP of £69.99.
XT-3The XT-3 is a mid-length glove designed for all-weather riding and also features a Drystar membrane. The two-layer stretch shell material incorporates 80g PrimaLoft Gold insulation, which is the equivalent of 100g or more of standard insulation material. It comes in a choice of black, black/grey or brown/sand/black colourways for an SRP of £89.99.
