Lightweight insulated motorcycle gloves with waterproof Drystar® technology and PLASMA knuckle protection, ideal for comfortable riding in spring and autumn.
The Alpinestars Ignite Drystar® Insulated motorcycle gloves combine lightweight comfort with reliable protection and weather protection, making them a practical choice for spring and autumn riding. The laminated backhand features Alpinestars Drystar® technology, keeping your hands dry while allowing moisture vapour to escape. A lightweight Thinsulate™ insulation layer adds warmth for cooler rides without the bulk of a dedicated winter glove.
For impact protection, the gloves feature a lightweight PLASMA knuckle protector that disperses and absorbs impact forces without compromising flexibility. Padding around the fourth finger, knuckle area and glove sides adds further protection, while synthetic suede reinforcements strengthen the palm, fingers and thumb for increased durability.
A lightweight Thinsulate™ insulation layer provides additional warmth, making these motorcycle gloves particularly suitable for cooler conditions. Meanwhile, ergonomic stretch inserts at the wrist, thumb base and back of the hand give you greater freedom of movement and a comfortable fit when operating the controls.
The synthetic suede palm offers a secure, comfortable feel, while conductive material on the thumb and index fingertip lets you operate touchscreen devices without removing your gloves. With CE-certified Level 1 KP protection, the Ignite Drystar® is a versatile choice for everyday motorcycle use.

Motorcycle gear comes in various levels of waterproofness, which is important for comfort and safety during wet rides. Most waterproof jackets, pants, gloves, and footwear have a membrane that prevents water from penetrating the outer layer. These products keep you dry, but there's a limit to how much they can penetrate. A waterproof membrane doesn't mean 100% waterproof. With prolonged exposure to rain or under high pressure, the outer layer can still let moisture through. This means you could get wet after longer rides in heavy rain, especially in areas where the fabric moves intensively or where seams are less well-protected.
Looking for 100% waterproof? Then choose a product with a Gore-Tex membrane. Gore-Tex is a specially designed membrane that is both waterproof and breathable. The membrane contains microscopic pores that are too small for water droplets to penetrate, but large enough to allow water vapor (sweat) to escape. This keeps rain and spray out, while your body heat and moisture are wicking away. You will ride dry and comfortable, even in prolonged or heavy rain.
In short: regular waterproof motorcycle clothing keeps out short(er) rainshowers, while Gore-Tex effectively protects against prolonged rain and at the same time provides breathable comfort.
