Our Take
"The Iron Gauntlet"
We've crashed in these, and we still have all our fingers. That's the best review we can give. The GP Pro V3 strikes the perfect balance between the stiffness of a full GP glove and the flexibility needed for club racing. The kangaroo palm offers incredible feedback—you can feel every ripple in the grip, every vibration from the front end. The Dynamic Friction Shield (DFS) on the knuckles isn't just for looks; it’s designed to slide on pavement, dissipating energy instead of grabbing and tumbling. The finger bridge might feel odd at first, but it saves pinkies in a slide. It takes a few sessions to break in, but once they mold to your hand, they feel like a second skin. It's a pro-level tool for mere mortals who value their hands.

Overview
Alpinestars GP Pro V3
The Alpinestars GP Pro V3 represents the next generation of race-derived hand protection.
Triple Leather Construction
Why use one leather when you can optimize?
- Kangaroo (Palm): Incredible feel and abrasion resistance.
- Goat (Panels): Softness and flexibility.
- Cow (Chassis): Structural integrity and durability.
Dynamic Friction Shield (DFS)
The knuckle protection isn’t just for impacts—it’s designed to slide. The ventilated DFS system intakes air while offering MotoGP-level crash protection.
Prevents Finger Roll
The patented finger bridge between the ring and pinky finger prevents:
- Separation of fingers in a slide
- Twisting of the leather around the finger
- “Finger roll” injuries
Comfort for the Track
- External Seams: Available on the palm for zero pressure points.
- Accordion Stretch: Leather panels that expand when you grip the bars.
- Long Cuff: Covers the jacket sleeve for maximum overlap protection.
Hands are your primary control interface. The GP Pro V3 ensures that interface is preserved, protected, and ventilated.
