FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes the TPU knuckle protector on these gloves effective for racing?
The TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) knuckle protector on Alex Rins' MotoGP gloves is engineered to absorb and distribute impact energy across the back of your hand — the most vulnerable zone during a crash or slide. The integrated design sits flush with the glove structure, so it doesn't restrict movement or feel bulky. Air intake and exhaust ports built into the protector allow cooling airflow during extended track sessions, keeping your hands from overheating under race-day conditions. The poly-foam backing beneath the TPU sliders adds a secondary absorption layer, so combined protection is significantly higher than gloves with padding alone. This is the same protection architecture Alex Rins relied on during the 2023 MotoGP season.
How do the palm sliders and reinforced thumb-to-index leather improve grip during racing?
Palm sliders are TPU pads bonded to the palm and finger contact zones — the areas that make direct contact with your throttle, brake lever, and handlebar during cornering and acceleration. During a slide or crash, these sliders protect your palm skin from abrasion by creating a sacrificial wear surface. The reinforced leather panel between your thumb and index finger adds extra durability in the grip zone where you exert the most pressure. This reinforcement prevents stretching and tearing during aggressive braking inputs and high-G cornering. The pre-curved finger design works in concert with these sliders: your fingers naturally align with the throttle and brake lever, so grip pressure is distributed evenly rather than concentrated in stress points. The result is better control on the track and longer glove lifespan.
What is the difference between standard sizing and made-to-measure Alex Rins gloves?
Standard sizing (XS through 3XL) ships in 10-15 working days from order confirmation. These gloves are hand-stitched to our size templates, so fit is predictable if your hand measurements align with our size chart. Made-to-measure custom sizing is built specifically for your hand dimensions. Select Custom Size from the product options, complete checkout, then submit your body measurements via our measurement form using your order number. Custom gloves ship in 4-6 weeks from spec confirmation. The custom route is ideal if your hands fall between standard sizes or if you want a snug, personalized fit that mirrors Alex Rins' own race-day comfort. Both paths use identical cowhide leather and TPU protection — the difference is construction timeline and fit precision.
Why is 0.8-0.9 mm cowhide leather the right choice for MotoGP racing gloves?
Cowhide leather at 0.8-0.9 mm thickness is the industry standard for race gloves because it balances abrasion resistance with tactile feedback and dexterity. Thicker leather (1.2+ mm) offers more protection but reduces your ability to feel the throttle and brake lever — critical on track where precision inputs define lap times. Thinner leather (under 0.7 mm) sacrifices durability. At 0.8-0.9 mm, cowhide resists tearing and puncturing during a slide while maintaining the hand sensitivity Alex Rins needs to manage a 300+ hp MotoGP machine. The leather's tensile strength per unit weight is excellent, meaning it absorbs energy without adding bulk or weight to your hands. If you want even greater abrasion resistance and a premium feel, our made-to-measure service offers a kangaroo leather upgrade — kangaroo is lighter and more supple while delivering superior grip and slide protection.
How do I measure my hands correctly for custom-fit Alex Rins gloves?
After you place your order, log into your account and navigate to our measurement form using your order number. You'll measure hand circumference (around your knuckles at the widest point), palm length (from wrist crease to fingertip), and individual finger lengths. Use a soft tape measure and record in both centimeters and inches for accuracy. Measure your dominant hand — the one you use to control the throttle. If your hands are asymmetrical, let us know in the form notes. Our team will use these dimensions to cut and stitch your gloves to your exact specifications. Custom gloves ship in 4-6 weeks from the moment we receive your measurements, so accuracy is worth the time. Questions? Contact our Help Center for guidance on any measurement step.
