Product Information

Full details

The Dainese Reacto Carbon Short Gloves are designed for adult male motorcycle riders seeking advanced protection and comfort in a short-cuff design. Their key benefit lies in the ergonomic carbon knuckle protection combined with strategic padding for enhanced impact absorption. A potential consideration is that short gloves may offer less coverage compared to gauntlet-style gloves.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?

The Dainese Reacto Carbon Short Gloves are best suited for mild to warm weather riding due to their leather construction and focus on ventilation. They offer good protection against abrasion but are not heavily insulated for cold or waterproof for heavy rain.

How do I determine my correct glove size?

Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point (excluding the thumb) and the length of your hand from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. Consult the Dainese sizing chart for the corresponding glove size.

Can the carbon knuckle protection be removed?

No, the carbon knuckle protection is integrated into the glove design for optimal safety and cannot be removed.

How long will the leather last?

With proper care, including regular cleaning and conditioning, the high-quality leather construction should provide many seasons of reliable use.

What is the primary benefit of the short cuff?

The short cuff allows for easier integration with motorcycle jacket sleeves, offering a cleaner look and preventing wind or rain from entering the gap between the glove and jacket. It also provides greater wrist mobility.

Do these gloves offer impact protection for the back of the hand?

Yes, in addition to the carbon knuckle protection, the gloves feature padding on the palm, little finger, and thumb for comprehensive hand protection.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight initially

Leather gloves require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and they will stretch and conform to your hand shape over time. Ensure you selected the correct size according to the sizing chart.

Stitching is coming loose

Inspect the stitching. Minor fraying can sometimes be carefully trimmed. For significant seam separation, professional repair may be necessary. Contact customer support if within the warranty period.

Carbon knuckle feels stiff

The carbon knuckle protector is designed for rigidity and impact absorption. Continue with the break-in process; the flexibility of the leather will complement the protector's function over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior knuckle protection with carbon composite.
  • Enhanced comfort and safety with strategic padding.
  • Sleek, short-cuff design for ease of wear with jackets.
  • Durable leather construction for longevity and abrasion resistance.
  • Good ventilation for comfort on warmer rides.

Cons

  • Shorter cuff offers less wrist and forearm protection than gauntlet styles.
  • Carbon knuckle may require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Limited availability in color options beyond black and red variants.
  • May not be suitable for extreme cold weather conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit. The adjustable wrist strap should be fastened securely but not overly tight, allowing for full hand mobility.

Compatibility: The short cuff design is intended to integrate seamlessly with most motorcycle jacket sleeves, preventing the gap between glove and jacket that can allow elements to enter.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather exterior with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid soaking the gloves in water. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner sparingly.
  2. Drying: If the gloves become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a quality leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking. Apply the conditioner with a soft cloth and buff gently.
