FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?
These are primarily short, leather gloves suited for moderate to warm weather riding. They do not feature significant insulation or waterproofing for cold or wet conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Dainese. Generally, measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your middle finger. Ensure a snug, comfortable fit without restricting movement.
Can I wash these gloves?
It is not recommended to machine wash leather gloves. Clean them with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather conditioner.
What is the primary protective feature of these gloves?
The primary protective features are the ergonomic carbon knuckle protection and the padding on the palm, little finger, and thumb.
Are these gloves suitable for track days?
While they offer good protection for street riding, for dedicated track days, consider gloves with longer gauntlets and more extensive protective features specifically designed for track use.
What is the main difference between this red variant and the black variants?
The main difference is the color. The protective features, materials, and overall design remain consistent across the Reacto Carbon Short Gloves line, with variations mainly in color and minor detailing.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight
Leather gloves may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. If they remain too tight after several rides, consider if the sizing is appropriate.
Stitching appears loose
Inspect the stitching carefully. Minor loose threads can often be trimmed. For significant issues, contact customer support.
Knuckle protectors feel uncomfortable
Ensure the gloves are correctly sized and worn properly. The carbon protectors are designed to mold to the hand over time with use.
