1. INTRODUCTION
The Alpinestars’ heated glove models HT-3, HT-5 and HT-7 HEAT TECH Drystar®are motorcycling gloves
(hereinafter “Gloves” unless otherwise specified) designed to offer improved thermal comfort to the
motorcycle rider in cold and/or wet weather conditions due to the innovative heating technology embedded
inside the Gloves. This technology is made of ultra-fine enameled heating yarn elements, which due to their
enhanced performances in terms of resistance, heating efficiency and safety, provide unrivalled levels of
warmth and comfort without the bulk typically caused by excessive layers of materials.
The Gloves’ electronic components, except for the battery (5), are waterproof and equipped with safety
systems to provide controlled and even heating, thereby avoiding overheating and overcharging anomalies.
The Gloves can be operated safely in various weather conditions due to the combination of selected
materials, premium construction techniques and innovative heating technology.
The Gloves are powered by lightweight, rechargeable and powerful Lithium Polymer batteries.
2. EN13594:2015 – IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION
These Gloves are certified to EN13594:2015 and as such are considered PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
under European Regulation (EU) 2016/425. An EU Type examination has been conducted on these Gloves
using the notified body indicated on the TABLE on back cover of this User Guide. This User Guide is important
as it will help you select the correct size of the Gloves and maintain them throughout their lifespan.
PROTECTION LEVEL
EN13594:2015 certified gloves are available with two performance levels of protection, Level 1 and Level 2.
Level 2 gloves have superior performance resistance and certified knuckle protection, however they may be
heavier and bulkier. For Level 1 gloves, certified knuckle protection is optional and is declared in the
marking. You should choose gloves which provide the best performance levels of protection suitable for the
type of riding you will do.
TABLE on back cover: please consult it together with the glossary found on the inside cover of
this User Guide to find the most suitable protection according to the Gloves’ predicted use.
It is essential to read this User Guide carefully, to understand it completely and
to follow the advice and WARNINGS. If you have any questions, please contact
Alpinestars.
The Gloves are not suitable for children under the age of 16 years. Do not allow
children to play with the Gloves or their accessories.
As with any electrical device, misuse of the Gloves or failure to follow the instruc-
tions may cause overheating, fire or injury to you or your property.
Do not attempt to repair any electrical part or component of the Gloves. This will
void the warranty and can result in temperature control malfunctions, which may
cause minor to severe burning.
Damaged heating elements may cause the Gloves to heat intermittently or completely
fail to heat. If the heating elements do not operate properly contact Alpinestars.

3. LIMITATIONS ON USE
Despite the protection levels indicated above, Gloves will ONLY PROVIDE LIMITED PROTECTION against
abrasion or lacerations by blunt objects or road surfaces and (if ‘KP’ declared) small impacts.
Users must be aware that no glove can provide complete protection against injury of any kind in
the case of falls, collision, impact, loss of control of the motorcycle or other events, in particular
as the hands or fingers may be trapped under the motorcycle or impact with other obstacles
during an accident.
No guarantees, express or implied, are made regarding the Gloves ability to avoid the risk of
injury while riding.
These Gloves have been designed exclusively for motorcycling use and are not for use in other sporting,
non-sporting or industrial activities.
Do not submerge the Gloves in water while wearing the Gloves.
Users should be aware that different environmental conditions including high or low temperatures can
change the characteristics of the Gloves and may reduce their performance. In particular, the use of glove in
a cold environment (below 0°C/32F) will significantly reduce the battery duration.
The Gloves and their components, in particular the batteries found on the heated Gloves, may not activate
if frozen or stored in extreme cold. Should this happen, allow the Gloves and their components to thaw and/
or warm up before attempting to use or activate the heated Gloves.
4. SIZING
In order to offer proper protection to the user, it is important that the Gloves fit correctly. Gloves are sized
based on the circumference of the palm without the thumb as shown in Figure 1. Take this measurement of
your own palm and then use Table 1 to convert this to the letter size (S,M,L) which is on the glove marking.

Since the Gloves are partially made of leather, when selecting your size remember that, with normal use/
wear, the Gloves will stretch naturally to accommodate the fit of your hands. These Gloves are considered
winter gloves and, accordingly, the fit should be slightly looser to allow air to circulate through the glove
insulation.
Prior to riding, the Gloves must be put on and fastened as instructed above. At all times when riding, make
sure that your Gloves are correctly and tightly fastened.
Remember that for sensible motorcycling the full body must be protected and as such the Gloves should be
worn with correctly CE certified and fitting motorcycle clothing, boots and a homologated helmet.
For further instructions on the correct use of the HT-3 HEAT TECH Drystar®Gloves, HT-5 HEAT TECH Drystar®
Gloves and HT-7 HEAT TECH Drystar®Gloves, see the sections below.
6. GLOVES OVERVIEW
The Gloves are packaged with an Alpinestars USB Charging Cable and two 7.4V Lithium Polymer batteries.
These items are also provided as Alpinestars spare parts. Standard compatible USB cables and 7.4V
batteries – provided that they fit into the pocket (4) - may be used, however the performance of such
standard parts are not guaranteed and Alpinestars cannot confirm the suitability of the performances of
such alternative spare parts.
The Gloves feature: a heating LED control button (1) positioned on the cuff area. On the inner side of the cuff,
covered by the wrist adjustable closure flap (2), is located the pocket (4) for the battery installation, secured
by a closure with a hook and loop in the inner edge of the cuff (3). The battery (5) presents two ports, a
battery DC port (6) for the connection with the glove Glove DC plug (9) inside the pocket and a battery USB-C
port (7) for the connection with the USB Charging Cable (8). On the battery there is a Battery LED indicator
(10) to indicate charging status.
Figures below show the locations of the above:
5. FITTING
It is strongly recommended that the fit of the Gloves is checked before purchase, preferably with the jacket
that they will normally be worn with. Select a starting size of Gloves from Table 1, put the Gloves on and
adjust the fastening(s).
Glove fastenings are located at the cuff and/or the wrist. The wrist fastening should be pulled as tight as is
comfortable and then secured with the hook-and-loop strap. The Gloves’ wrist fastening is correctly
fastened when the cuff and strap overlap and no skin is exposed. The cuff fastening should be closed tight
such that it follows closely the jacket sleeve (if worn above the jacket) or your arm (if worn beneath the
jacket). Check that the Gloves cannot be removed easily by pulling it with your other hand. It is recommended
to wear these UNDER your jacket if you ride with your wrist lower than the elbow and OVER your jacket if
your wrist is higher than the elbow.
Open your hand flat. There should be no material in contact with the tips of your fingers. The glove should
feel tight, but not restrictive so as to impede sufficient movement of the hand. In a second step make a
clenched fist or grip a motorcycle handlebar. Check that there is none or only slight contact at the fingertips
and that there are no large folds of material on the palm. Ensure that there is enough finger movement to
correctly operate the motorcycle controls.
