ALPINES FOX AFG-17 Retro Motorcycle Leather Gloves
ALPINES FOX AFG-17
Retro Motorcycle
Leather Gloves
The AFG-17 is a full-finger retro goat leather motorcycle glove with touchscreen-compatible fingertips, non-slip reinforced palm zones, and an adjustable buckle wrist closure. No CE certification is stated — confirm the protection standard with the seller before purchase. Available in Black and Yellow, M to XXL. Note: the selling unit is a single glove, not a pair — order two if you need both hands covered.
- Sold as a single glove — order quantity two for a pair: The spec sheet lists "Selling Units: Single Item" and the package weight is 0.25kg — consistent with one glove. This is not a pair. If you need both hands covered, add two to your cart. Confirm with the seller whether the listing price is per glove or per pair before ordering, as marketplace listings sometimes display per-pair pricing against single-unit shipping.
- No CE certification stated — what that means at street speeds: The AFG-17 lists "anti-fall" as a feature but no CE standard (EN 13594 for motorcycle gloves) or level is cited. Without CE certification, the glove's impact resistance cannot be compared against a defined force-transmission threshold. Goat leather itself provides meaningful abrasion resistance at lower road-slide speeds, but the absence of a certified palm protector or knuckle guard means this glove prioritises riding comfort and retro style over structured impact protection. For commuting and leisure riding at street speeds, the leather construction provides practical coverage. For track or aggressive off-road use, CE Level 2 certified gloves are recommended.
- AFG-17 vs VEMAR VE-315 — key comparison: Both are full-finger retro goat leather gloves with touchscreen fingertips and buckle wrist closures. The VE-315 specifies its composition (97% goat leather + 2% nylon + 1% EVA palm padding) and has a hard shell knuckle guard. The AFG-17 lists only "goat leather" without composition breakdown or knuckle guard — it is the lighter and more casual of the two. The AFG-17 adds a Yellow colour option not available in the VE-315. If structured knuckle protection is the priority, the VE-315 is the better choice; if minimal bulk and colour variety are the priority, the AFG-17.
- Goat leather windproof — mechanism and cold weather limit: Goat leather's tight grain structure blocks cold air at the fabric level without a separate windproof membrane — the dense natural hide closes wind passage through the material. This is effective at mild to moderate cold (above approximately 5°C). Below 5°C, the leather becomes progressively stiffer as it cools, reducing finger dexterity. Goat leather at these temperatures can crack along flex lines if not conditioned regularly — apply a leather conditioner every 3–4 months to maintain flexibility. In sustained rain, wet goat leather loses its windproof advantage as water saturates the fibre structure and the glove requires longer drying time.
- Sizing — palm width only, M starts at 8.0cm: The AFG-17 chart uses a single dimension (palm width at the widest point below the knuckles, excluding thumb) and starts at M — there is no S size. Palm width 8.0–8.5cm = M; 10.0–10.5cm = XXL. Riders with smaller hands (palm width below 8.0cm) have no size option in this range — the VE-315 starts at XS (palm 6–7cm). The bank card reference note in the source (a standard card is approximately 8.5cm) provides a useful no-ruler sizing check for M/L boundary riders — if the card fits exactly across the widest palm point, you are between M and L. Goat leather stretches slightly with wear, so M is appropriate if you are at the lower bound of 8.0cm.
| Size | Palm Width (cm) | Palm Width (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| M | 8.0–8.5 | 3.15–3.35″ |
| L | 8.5–9.5 | 3.35–3.74″ |
| XL | 9.5–10.0 | 3.74–3.94″ |
| XXL | 10.0–10.5 | 3.94–4.13″ |
