Product Information

Full details

The Dainese Metrax Air Gloves are designed for adult male riders seeking comfortable and practical protection for summer urban motorcycling. Their primary benefit is excellent ventilation and ease of use, making them ideal for warm weather commutes. A potential caveat is their short design, which may offer less wrist coverage than longer gauntlet-style gloves. These gloves are constructed from ventilated fabric, offering breathability for hot days, and feature a smart touch insert for smartphone compatibility, along with an easy opening and fit system.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for all-weather riding?

No, the Dainese Metrax Air gloves are specifically designed for summer use due to their highly ventilated fabric construction. They are not waterproof or insulated for cold weather.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Dainese sizing chart for gloves. Measure the circumference of your palm and compare it to the provided measurements. Ensure a snug fit without restricting circulation.

Can I use the Smart Touch insert with gloves on?

Yes, the Smart Touch insert is designed to allow you to operate touch screens while wearing the gloves. Ensure the insert and screen are clean for best results.

What is the primary benefit of the ventilated fabric?

The ventilated fabric allows for maximum airflow, which helps to keep your hands cool and comfortable during hot weather rides by preventing sweat buildup.

Are these gloves protective enough for highway speeds?

These gloves offer basic protection suitable for urban riding and lower speeds. For extended highway use or high-speed riding, gauntlet-style gloves with more extensive reinforcement and coverage are generally recommended.

How often should I clean my gloves?

It's recommended to clean your gloves periodically, especially if they become visibly dirty or start to lose ventilation. Regular light cleaning after use can help maintain their condition.

Troubleshooting

Smart Touch insert not responding

Ensure the insert is clean and dry. Try wiping the screen of your device and the insert with a clean, dry cloth. Some screen protectors may interfere; test without if possible.

Gloves feel too tight or loose

Adjust the closure system for a snug but not restrictive fit. If the fit is consistently poor, consider trying a different size.

Reduced ventilation over time

The fabric may become clogged with dirt or residue. Gently clean the gloves according to the care instructions.
