FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?

These gloves are primarily designed for moderate to warm weather riding. They offer good ventilation but lack insulation for cold temperatures. For cold or wet conditions, specific winter or waterproof gloves are recommended.

How long does it take to break in these gloves?

The break-in period can vary. Typically, it takes several hours of wear, often spread over a few rides, for the leather to conform to your hand shape and become fully flexible.

Can I wash these gloves?

It is not recommended to machine wash or fully submerge these leather gloves in water, as it can damage the leather and protective components. Spot clean with a damp cloth and use leather conditioner.

What makes the knuckle protection 'ergonomic'?

Ergonomic design means the carbon knuckle protector is shaped to follow the natural curve and movement of your hand, providing protection without hindering flexibility or comfort during operation of controls.

Are these gloves unisex?

This specific variant is listed as for 'Male' gender. Dainese offers other variants that may be unisex or specifically designed for women.

What is the primary advantage of the long cuff?

The long cuff offers extended protection for the wrist and forearm area, and it helps to create a secure overlap with motorcycle jacket sleeves, preventing drafts and improving overall safety in a slide.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them around the house for short durations. If still too tight after a reasonable break-in period, consider if the sizing is correct for your hand.

Carbon knuckle protection feels uncomfortable

Ensure the gloves are the correct size and that the knuckle protector is aligned properly with your knuckles. Slight initial discomfort may lessen as the leather softens.

Leather shows signs of drying or cracking

Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture. Ensure gloves are stored properly away from heat and direct sunlight.

Closure strap is not holding securely

Check the hook-and-loop fasteners for debris. Ensure the strap is positioned correctly and pulled taut. If the fastener is worn out, repair or replacement might be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready to use straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, but not constricting, fit. The closure system should be fastened securely.

Compatibility: Designed for motorcycle use, these gloves are compatible with most motorcycle jackets, especially those with longer cuff designs. They are intended for use by adult riders.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the gloves in water.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically use a dedicated leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply conditioner sparingly and buff off any excess.
  3. Drying: If the gloves get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the leather and protective elements.
