FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for summer riding?

While made of leather which can be warm, the Dainese Reacto Carbon Long Gloves are designed for performance riding. For very hot weather, consider gloves with more ventilation. These offer protection that is valuable year-round, especially in varied conditions.

What is the primary advantage of the carbon knuckle protection?

The carbon knuckle protection offers excellent impact absorption and abrasion resistance while being lightweight and conforming to the natural shape of the knuckles, enhancing rider safety without sacrificing comfort.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Dainese sizing chart for gloves. Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your middle finger. Compare these measurements to the provided size guide to find the best fit.

Can these gloves be used with touchscreen devices?

Typically, performance leather gloves like these are not designed for touchscreen compatibility. You may need to remove the glove to operate a smartphone or GPS device.

What is the difference between long and short cuff gloves?

Long cuff gloves, like the Reacto Carbon, extend over the wrist and integrate with motorcycle jackets for maximum protection against impacts, abrasion, and elements. Short cuff gloves offer more freedom of movement but less coverage.

How long will these gloves last?

With proper care and maintenance, high-quality leather motorcycle gloves like the Dainese Reacto Carbon can last for many years, providing consistent protection and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Leather gloves require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase usage time. Ensure the wrist strap is adjusted correctly, not too tight.

Difficulty closing the wrist strap

Ensure the glove is fully on and your hand is in a natural position. If the strap is difficult to reach or secure, check if the cuff is properly aligned with your jacket sleeve.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a suitable leather conditioner according to product instructions. Allow the conditioner to soak in and then gently buff the excess.

Water damage or staining

For minor stains, attempt to clean gently with a damp cloth. For significant water damage, allow to dry naturally and use a leather conditioner. Avoid prolonged soaking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are designed for immediate use. Ensure the Velcro closure at the wrist is adjusted for a snug, comfortable fit without being overly tight. The long cuff should ideally be worn underneath the jacket sleeve to prevent rain and wind ingress.

Compatibility: The long cuff is designed to integrate with most motorcycle jackets, especially sport or touring styles that have a wider sleeve opening. Ensure the cuff length is compatible with your jacket design for a seamless fit.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a quality leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent drying or cracking. Apply sparingly and buff off excess.
  3. Drying: If the gloves get 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 and protective materials.
  4. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
