2. Full leather construction requires regular conditioning and care to maintain performance
3. No waterproofing — not suitable for wet-weather touring use
The Brass Light Gloves come from the OSCAR by Alpinestars sub-brand, drawing on a heritage-inspired aesthetic that pairs full premium leather construction with vintage-styled details. Accordion leather inserts on the fingers and a large insert on the backhand deliver comfort and flexibility across the full range of hand movement, while a backhand hook and loop wrist closure keeps the fit secure. Alpinestars’ ergonomic stretch insert between the palm and thumb improves movement and sensitivity, and thumb and palm reinforcement in an advanced poly blend handles grip and durability.
Side padding reinforcement with foam backing protects the outer hand, and advanced foam 5mm padding on the knuckle handles impact protection as part of the CE Level 1 certification. Localized perforation improves cooling where it’s needed most, and touchscreen-compatible fingertips cover device access. Laser-printed logos sit alongside the perforated leather for a rich vintage look that carries the heritage-inspired aesthetic throughout. CE Level 1 certified.
