FAQs

What size should I choose?

Refer to the Dainese Size Guide table provided in the product description. Measure your hand circumference and length accurately to select the best fit.

Are these gloves waterproof?

These are primarily designed as short leather riding gloves for protection and comfort, not for waterproofing. They are not waterproof.

Can I use these gloves in cold weather?

While the leather offers some insulation, these gloves are best suited for moderate to warm weather conditions due to their short cuff and breathable design.

How do I clean the carbon knuckle protector?

The carbon knuckle protector can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

What is the warranty period?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check with your point of purchase for specific warranty details.

Are these suitable for track days?

The carbon knuckle protection and reinforced padding offer a good level of protection, making them suitable for spirited riding and potentially track days, though gauntlet-style gloves often provide more extensive coverage.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight

Leather gloves often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Avoid stretching them excessively.

Stitching coming loose

Inspect the stitching. Minor issues may be repairable by a professional leather goods repair service. Contact customer support if the issue affects protective integrity.

Difficulty with closure strap

Ensure the strap is aligned correctly before tightening. If the hook-and-loop closure loses its grip, try cleaning it gently with a brush.
