FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The Valentino Rossi Yamaha MotoGP 2006 racing gloves are made from 0.8–0.9 mm cowhide leather, the same race-grade material Rossi wore during his legendary 2006 MotoGP season. Cowhide leather at this thickness offers high abrasion resistance and tear strength, critical for track riding where grip and durability are non-negotiable. The leather is hand-stitched made-to-order since 2009, ensuring each pair matches the protection standards of Rossi's original race suit. This thickness strikes the ideal balance for gloves—thin enough for finger sensitivity and throttle control, thick enough to withstand high-speed slides and impact. This answer applies to the Valentino Rossi 2006 MotoGP gloves on this page.

TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) sliders are mounted on poly-foam backing and positioned on the palm, thumb, and fingers—the exact contact zones where your hands make contact with the track during a slide. TPU is harder and more slippery than leather, so it slides across asphalt rather than catching and tearing. The poly-foam underneath absorbs and distributes impact energy, preventing concentrated pressure on a single point. The carbon-reinforced metal knuckle protector works in tandem with the TPU sliders to shield your knuckles from direct impact, while leather reinforcement between the thumb and index finger maintains grip integrity under heavy throttle pressure. Together, these features create the multi-layer protection system that Valentino Rossi's 2006 MotoGP gloves were designed to deliver.

The carbon-reinforced metal knuckle protector is a rigid, integrated shield that covers the knuckles—the most vulnerable bone structure on your hand during a track crash or high-speed slide. Carbon-reinforced metal is lightweight yet extremely hard, so it absorbs and deflects direct impact without adding bulk or restricting finger mobility. During a slide, your knuckles are the first contact point after your palm and fingers; the protector spreads that impact force across a wider surface area, reducing the risk of fracture or deep laceration. The protector is designed with an aerodynamic shape that doesn't interfere with throttle control or hand position on the bars.

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 2006 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.
