The Belize V3 Drystar Glove is a mid-season touring glove built for all-weather use on longer rides. At its core is Alpinestars’ Drystar performance membrane, which keeps water and mud out while allowing breathability — the combination that makes a waterproof touring glove genuinely usable rather than just resistant. Leather top hand construction with strategically placed stretch panels gives a precise, comfortable fit without restricting movement, and pre-curved fingers reduce fatigue over longer distances. A short cuff design is engineered to be worn under the jacket sleeve for a clean, sealed interface. An injected SP knuckle provides effective impact protection, and TPU finger sliders with strategically positioned impact padding cover the top hand and thumb.
The Belize V3 Drystar Gloves are aimed at touring and long-distance riders who need reliable all-weather waterproof protection in a short cuff glove that works under the sleeve. At £139.99, they’re a premium touring glove investment for those who ride in variable conditions year-round.
