FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
These Valentino Rossi MotoGP racing gloves are constructed from 0.8–0.9 mm cowhide leather, a race-grade material chosen for its abrasion resistance and tear strength during high-speed track riding. Cowhide leather is the industry standard for professional MotoGP replica gear because it maintains grip in wet conditions and resists puncturing during a slide. The leather is hand-stitched with high-strength nylon thread, matching the construction methods used in factory MotoGP race suits. This answer applies to the Valentino Rossi 2016 MotoGP gloves on this page.
The carbon-reinforced metal knuckle protector is engineered to absorb and distribute impact energy during a slide or crash, protecting the vulnerable knuckle and hand bones. This protector is certified to EN 1621-1:2012, the European standard for motorcycle protective equipment. The carbon-reinforced construction keeps the profile low and flexible, so your hand mobility and grip remain uncompromised during aggressive cornering or braking. Combined with the TPU sliders on the palm, thumb, and fingers, the knuckle guard creates a multi-zone impact defence system. Valentino Rossi's 2016 MotoGP gloves use the same protection strategy as professional race suits — layered armour at high-contact zones.
Yes. While these Valentino Rossi MotoGP racing gloves are purpose-built for track use — with season-accurate livery and race-spec protection — the cowhide leather construction and carbon knuckle armour also perform excellently on the street. The pre-curved finger design and Velcro wrist closure provide secure fit and control whether you're on a closed circuit or commuting. Many riders appreciate the authentic MotoGP replica design as daily riding gear, combining collector appeal with genuine protective performance. The 0.8–0.9 mm cowhide leather resists weather and maintains grip in rain and sun. Track riders and street riders alike benefit from the hand-stitched construction and EN 1621-1:2012 certification.
Every pair is made to order and ships in 10 to 15 working days from order confirmation. Nothing waits in a warehouse: the Valentino Rossi 2016 MotoGP gloves are cut and hand-stitched after the order is placed, which is why the lead time is longer than an off-the-shelf product. Delivery covers 50+ countries and tracking is sent by email when the parcel leaves the workshop; transit time after that depends on the destination and is listed on the Shipping & Delivery page. Allow the full lead time if the gloves are needed for a fixed date.
Wipe the leather down with a soft dry cloth after use and let it dry at room temperature, away from radiators and direct sun. Condition the 0.8-0.9 mm cowhide leather every few months with a small amount of leather conditioner worked in with a cloth, then buff. Store the gloves on a wide hanger or flat in a breathable bag, never in plastic. Salt, rain and sweat marks come off with a slightly damp cloth before conditioning. Avoid machine washing, solvents and heat; a leather specialist can refresh the finish if it dulls after years of use. Leather Collection has hand-stitched leather to order since 2009 and the Help Center answers care questions before you order.
