FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What material are the Valentino Rossi MotoGP gloves made from?

The Valentino Rossi 2017-2018 MotoGP gloves are constructed from 0.8–0.9 mm cowhide leather, the same material spec used in professional race gloves. Cowhide leather at this thickness balances abrasion resistance with dexterity, allowing you to feel the throttle and brake inputs during high-speed cornering. The leather is reinforced between the thumb and index finger—the highest-friction contact zone during aggressive riding. Hand-stitched made-to-order construction since 2009 ensures every pair is built to order, not mass-produced. If you prefer a lighter, more grip-focused material, kangaroo leather is available as a made-to-measure upgrade option.

How do I order custom-sized Rossi gloves?

Made-to-measure custom sizing is available for the Valentino Rossi gloves. From the product page, select Custom Size from the product options Size dropdown, then complete checkout. After your order is confirmed, submit your body measurements—hand circumference, palm width, finger length—via the measurement form using your order number. Our craftsmen will hand-stitch your gloves to your exact specs. Custom orders ship in 4–6 weeks from spec confirmation. Standard sizes (XS–3XL) ship in 10–15 working days from order confirmation. Custom fit ensures the pre-curved fingers and palm align perfectly with your hand position on the bike.

What protection do the Rossi gloves offer?

The Valentino Rossi MotoGP gloves feature a Carbon-Reinforced Metal Knuckle Protector that absorbs and distributes impact energy across the knuckle zone—the most vulnerable contact point in a slide. TPU sliders on the palm, thumb, and fingers sit on poly-foam backing, which compresses on impact to reduce energy transfer to your hand. The rubber protector includes air intakes and an exhaust port to prevent heat buildup during long race stints, keeping your hands cool and responsive. The 0.8–0.9 mm cowhide leather resists tearing and puncturing, and the reinforced thumb-to-index-finger panel adds durability at the grip zone. These gloves are built to the same protection spec as professional MotoGP race gloves, not generic riding gloves.

Are the Rossi gloves season-accurate to Valentino Rossi's 2017-2018 MotoGP livery?

Yes. The Valentino Rossi 2017-2018 MotoGP gloves are offered in Blue and Yellow, matching the season-accurate livery of Valentino Rossi's Yamaha Factory Racing kit during the 2017-2018 MotoGP season. The color options, hand-stitched construction, and race-grade cowhide leather combine to deliver an authentic replica that captures both the visual identity and the protection spec of the gloves Rossi wore on track. These are not generic race gloves with a rider name attached—they are built to match the season-specific design and construction standard of his actual race gear.

Can I upgrade to kangaroo leather, and what's the difference?

Kangaroo leather is available as a made-to-measure upgrade option for the Rossi gloves. When you select Custom Size during checkout, the kangaroo upgrade appears as an available option (Cowhide / Monaco / Kangaroo). Kangaroo leather is lighter than cowhide and offers superior grip due to its tighter fiber structure—many professional racers prefer it for throttle and brake feel. It is also thinner per unit weight, which reduces hand fatigue during long races. The trade-off is cost and lead time: kangaroo leather orders take the same 4–6 weeks from spec confirmation as cowhide custom orders. If you're prioritizing durability and value, cowhide is the standard choice. If you're prioritizing grip and weight, kangaroo is worth the upgrade.
