Product Information

Full details

This guide is for adult male motorcycle riders seeking premium hand protection and comfort. The key benefit is the combination of ergonomic carbon knuckle protection with durable leather for a secure and responsive feel on the controls. A potential consideration is the short cuff design, which may offer less coverage than longer gauntlet-style gloves. The Dainese Reacto Carbon Short Gloves are designed for performance, featuring advanced materials and strategic padding for optimal rider experience.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?

These are primarily designed for warm to moderate weather riding. The short cuff and leather material offer protection and comfort in these conditions. For cold or wet weather, waterproof and insulated gloves would be more appropriate.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Dainese sizing chart provided by the retailer. Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand, then compare these measurements to the chart. A snug fit is generally recommended for optimal protection and feel.

Can the carbon knuckle protection be removed?

The carbon knuckle protection is integrated into the glove's design for structural integrity and impact resistance. It is not designed to be removed.

What is the main advantage of the short cuff design?

The short cuff offers greater ease of movement and integrates seamlessly with jackets that have tighter wrist closures, providing a clean look and preventing interference.

How often should I condition the leather?

It's recommended to condition the leather every 6-12 months, or more frequently if the gloves are used heavily or exposed to drying conditions. This helps maintain the leather's flexibility and durability.

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, these gloves are made of leather and are not designed to be waterproof. They offer abrasion resistance but will absorb water in wet conditions.

What is the warranty period for these gloves?

Warranty information can vary by retailer and region. Please check with the point of purchase or the official Dainese website for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or stiff

Leather gloves require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Gentle flexing of the hands while wearing them can help speed up the process. Avoid using heat to dry them, as this can damage the leather.

Stitching appears loose or damaged

Inspect the stitching carefully. Minor fraying can sometimes be trimmed with scissors. For significant damage, consult the retailer or manufacturer regarding repair or warranty options.

Reduced grip on handlebars

Ensure the palm of the gloves is clean and dry. If the leather feels unusually slick, consider using a specialized leather grip enhancer or conditioner, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Discoloration or fading of leather

This can occur with prolonged exposure to sunlight. Store gloves away from direct light when not in use. Using a leather conditioner with UV protection may help mitigate further fading.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent impact protection from carbon knuckle.
  • Durable and comfortable leather construction.
  • Enhanced grip and shock absorption with palm padding.
  • Ergonomic design for natural hand movement.
  • Suitable for various riding conditions where short gloves are preferred.

Cons

  • Limited wrist and forearm protection due to short cuff design.
  • May not provide sufficient warmth in very cold weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no specific setup. They are designed for immediate use straight out of the package.

Compatibility: The short cuff design ensures compatibility with most motorcycle jackets, particularly those with tighter cuff openings. They are suitable for a wide range of motorcycle types, from sportbikes to naked bikes and cruisers.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the gloves in water.
  • Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking.
  • Drying: If the gloves become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding them in a way that creases the leather excessively.
