The GP Plus R V3 is CE certified to EN 13594:2015 Level KP 1 — the same certification level as the GP Pro R4. The primary distinction is material: the GP Pro R4 uses a kangaroo leather palm (thinner, stronger, higher tactile feedback); the GP Plus R V3 uses full goat leather throughout (excellent abrasion resistance, more accessible price point). Both provide Level KP 1 knuckle protection; the GP Pro R4 adds aramid backhand reinforcement and a longer, more protective DFS gauntlet cuff.
