FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?

The Dainese Reacto Carbon Short Gloves are primarily designed for temperate to warm weather riding due to their short leather construction. They offer limited protection against rain and cold.

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure the circumference of your palm below the knuckles and the length of your middle finger. Compare these measurements to the Dainese sizing chart available on their website or with your retailer. A snug fit is essential for proper protection.

Can the carbon knuckle protectors be removed?

No, the carbon knuckle protectors are integrated into the glove design for maximum protection and cannot be removed.

What is the primary benefit of the padding on the little finger and thumb?

This padding provides crucial impact and abrasion resistance in areas highly vulnerable during slides or impacts, enhancing overall hand safety.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency of conditioning depends on usage and climate. Typically, conditioning every 3-6 months or whenever the leather feels dry is recommended.

Do these gloves offer abrasion resistance?

Yes, the high-quality leather and reinforced padding provide good abrasion resistance suitable for motorcycle riding.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight initially.

Leather gloves require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to stretch and conform to your hand shape. Avoid forcing them if they are excessively tight, as this may indicate an incorrect size.

Leather appears dry or stiff.

Apply a dedicated leather conditioner following the product's instructions. This will help restore suppleness and prevent cracking.

Stitching starts to unravel.

Minor unraveled stitches can sometimes be carefully trimmed. For significant damage, consult a professional leather repair service or contact Dainese customer support for repair options.

Gloves do not provide adequate warmth in cold weather.

These are short leather gloves designed for temperate to warm conditions. For colder weather, consider layering thin liner gloves or choosing a different model of glove with insulation and a longer cuff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These gloves require no setup; simply wear them. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a snug but comfortable fit. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and the effectiveness of the protective features.

Compatibility: The Dainese Reacto Carbon Short Gloves are designed for motorcycle use. They are compatible with most motorcycle handlebars and controls, providing unhindered operation.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of the leather, it is recommended to:

  1. Clean: Gently wipe the gloves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Condition: Periodically use a leather conditioner specifically designed for motorcycle apparel to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  3. Dry: If the gloves become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture.
  4. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably on a glove hanger to maintain their shape.
