The Alpinestars Rage Drystar gloves are a great option for sport riders looking for a short glove offering waterproof performance thanks to the Drystar Membrane construction. The Rage Drystar gloves are constructed from supple and durable full-grain leather and polyamide fabric for great abrasion resistance and comfortable fit. The reinforcements on palm and thumb provide superior grip. The carbon fiber + TPR palm slider and knuckle protection provide superior impact and abrasion resistance. Palm, fingers and backhand are padded with energy absorbing E.V.A. foam for additional protection. The Rage Drystar gloves are equipped with Alpinestars\' patented third and fourth finger bridge to prevent finger roll separation in the event of a slide. The protective cuff closure with TPR panel wraps around the wrist and raises the entire profile of the glove to protect the wrist bone from impact.
