FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for racing?

While these gloves offer significant protection with carbon knuckles, they are primarily designed for street riding. For professional racing, gauntlet-style gloves with more extensive wrist protection might be recommended.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the Dainese sizing chart, typically available on the product page or manufacturer's website. Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand to find the corresponding size.

Can I wash these gloves?

It is not recommended to machine wash or fully immerse these leather gloves in water. Clean them with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather conditioner for care.

What is the primary protective feature?

The primary protective features are the ergonomic carbon knuckle protection and the padding on the palm, little finger, and thumb, designed to absorb impact and resist abrasion.

Are these gloves waterproof?

These gloves are constructed from leather and are not designed to be waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but should not be relied upon in heavy rain.

How long will the leather last?

With proper care and maintenance, including regular cleaning and conditioning, the leather construction can provide many seasons of reliable use.

What is the benefit of the short cuff?

The short cuff provides greater freedom of movement and makes it easier to wear the gloves with jackets that have integrated cuff closures or shorter sleeves.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Leather gloves may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time as they conform to your hand.

Stitching appears loose

Inspect the stitching carefully. Minor looseness might be cosmetic, but significant fraying could compromise protection. Contact customer support if the structural integrity is affected.

Leather feels dry or stiff

Apply a dedicated leather conditioner according to the product's instructions. This will help restore suppleness and protect the material.

Closure strap is difficult to fasten

Check for any debris caught in the hook-and-loop fastener. Ensure the strap is aligned correctly before securing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are designed for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and protection. Adjust the closure strap for a snug, comfortable fit around the wrist.

Compatibility: The Dainese Reacto Carbon Short Gloves are compatible with most motorcycle jackets that feature shorter cuffs. They are designed for use with motorcycles and scooters.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your leather gloves:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the gloves in water.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the conditioner manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Drying: If the gloves become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
