This newly redesigned (for the 22/23 season) "G3" Alcan model from Hippo Hands delivers better-than-ever coverage with an integrated sleeve gasket on top of its already best-in-class coverage for a motorcycle hand cover.
The Alcan was made for the archetype ADV bike—the big BMW 12000/1250 GS range, but it works just as well on big KTM, Africa Twins, and pretty much any big bike with factory or aftermarket handguards in place*.
