Valentino Rossi Gloves 2017-2018 MotoGP

Valentino Rossi Gloves Specifications & Construction Details

Outer Layer

• 0.8-0.9 mm cowhide leather construction delivers durability and tear resistance, a core element of motorcycle racing gear designed for high-speed abrasion defense.
• Leather reinforcement between the thumb and index finger enhances grip and withstands repeated friction during aggressive cornering and braking inputs.
• Rubber protection with air intakes and exhaust port boosts cooling performance during long race stints, preventing heat buildup across the knuckle and finger zones.
• Valentino Rossi VR46-inspired TPU sliders on the palm, thumb, and fingers sit on poly-foam backing for targeted impact absorption and abrasion resistance at high-contact pressure points.
• Pre-curved palm and fingers deliver a form-fitting, race-ready grip matched to the hand position on a MotoGP race bike.
• Integrated flexible knuckles provide discreet protection without adding bulk or restricting wrist mobility.

Inner Layer

• Velcro strap wrist closures secure the gloves in place for safety during a slide or fall, with dual closure points for redundant fit control.
• Safety stitching with high-strength nylon thread enhances durability and ensures long-lasting wear through repeated track sessions and crashes.
• Carbon-Reinforced Metal Knuckle Protector absorbs and distributes impact energy across the knuckle zone, matching the protection spec of race-grade gloves worn in MotoGP competition.
