Product Details
The Alpinestars C-1 V2 Windstopper gloves are lightweight, short-cuff motorcycle gloves developed for urban riding and commuting in cool, breezy and changeable conditions. A GORE-TEX Windstopper main shell helps block wind and provides light insulation, while extended full-grain leather reinforcement across the palm and thumb supports durability and confident control.
Alpinestars describes this model as windproof and water resistant. It is not listed as a fully waterproof GORE-TEX glove, so riders expecting prolonged or heavy rain should choose a dedicated waterproof motorcycle glove.

Alpinestars does not publish an additional knuckle-protection suffix or a specific EN 13594 performance declaration on the current product record, so none is claimed here.
Fit and sizing
This model is offered here in sizes S, M, L, XL, XXL and 3XL. Measure around the widest part of your hand, excluding the thumb, and compare the result with the Alpinestars glove guide. The fit should be close and secure without restricting finger movement or circulation. If you are between sizes or normally wear a liner glove, try both adjacent sizes where possible.
| Size | Hand circumference |
|---|---|
| S | 7.5-8 in / 19.1-20.3 cm |
| M | 8-8.5 in / 20.3-21.6 cm |
| L | 8.5-9 in / 21.6-22.9 cm |

| XXL | 9.5-10 in / 24.1-25.4 cm |

Questions and answers
Are the C-1 V2 gloves waterproof?
Alpinestars specifies them as windproof and water resistant, not fully waterproof. They are intended for urban riding and commuting rather than extended heavy-rain use.
Can I use a touchscreen while wearing them?
Yes. The index fingertip is designed for compatible smartphones and GPS devices, although response can vary by screen and device.
What riding conditions suit them?
The lightweight, wind-blocking design is best suited to cooler urban and commuting rides where dexterity and weather resistance are priorities.
