FAQs

How do I determine the correct size for Dainese Carbon 4 Gloves?

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 product pages.

Are these gloves suitable for all-weather riding?

The Carbon 4 gloves offer good protection and grip but are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. For rain, dedicated waterproof gloves are recommended. They do include a visor wiper for convenience in light moisture.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency depends on usage and climate. In dry or hot conditions, conditioning every 3-6 months is advisable. If the gloves frequently get wet, condition them after they have fully dried.

Can the carbon knuckle protectors be replaced?

The carbon knuckle protectors are integrated for safety and are not designed to be user-replaceable. They are built for durability and impact resistance.

What is the DCP system?

DCP stands for Distortion Control Polyurethane. It is a system typically found on the little finger of sport gloves, designed to prevent excessive bending or separation of the finger during a slide or impact, thus reducing injury risk.

Are these gloves specifically for racing?

While they offer advanced protection and features suitable for racing, they are also excellent for aggressive sport riding on the street. Their focus is on protection and performance.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Leather gloves will naturally stretch and break in over time. Wear them for short periods initially, and consider using a leather conditioner to aid the break-in process. Ensure the correct size was purchased.

Leather shows signs of drying or cracking

Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for motorcycle apparel. Follow the product instructions for application and allow the gloves to dry naturally.

Stitching appears to be loose

Inspect the stitching carefully. For minor loose threads, they can often be trimmed. If significant stitching failure occurs, contact customer support or a professional repair service.

Carbon knuckle protectors feel uncomfortable

Ensure the gloves are properly fitted. The knuckle protectors are designed to be worn on the outside of the hand and should not cause discomfort during normal riding posture. Some initial adjustment may be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior abrasion resistance due to quality leather.
  • Advanced safety features like carbon knuckles and DCP system.
  • Designed for a snug, performance-oriented fit.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.
  • Enhanced grip and control on the handlebars.

Cons

  • May feel stiff initially due to sport design.
  • Less ventilation compared to perforated gloves, potentially warmer in hot weather.
  • Longer gauntlet might interfere with some jacket sleeves.
  • Primarily designed for sport riding, may not be ideal for touring comfort.
  • Care required to maintain leather quality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit without restricting blood flow. The adjustable wrist strap should be tightened for a secure closure, preventing the glove from coming off in an impact.

Compatibility: The Dainese Carbon 4 gloves are compatible with all types of sport and street motorcycles. The visor wiper on the index finger is a practical addition for riding in variable weather conditions.

Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of the leather, regularly clean the gloves with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner designed for motorcycle gear. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can dry out and crack the leather. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
