Product Information
Full details
The Dainese Reacto Carbon Long Gloves are designed for adult riders seeking enhanced protection and comfort during motorcycle rides. Their primary benefit is the combination of durable leather construction with advanced carbon knuckle protection and finger reinforcements for superior impact resistance. A potential consideration is the long cuff design, which may require adjustment under certain jacket styles.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?
These gloves are primarily designed for mild to warm weather riding due to their leather construction and ventilation properties. They are not waterproof and may not provide sufficient insulation for extreme cold.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Dainese sizing chart, typically found on the product page or retailer's website. Measure the circumference of your hand and the length of your middle finger, then compare with the chart.
Can the carbon knuckle protection be replaced?
The carbon knuckle protection is integrated into the glove design for safety. Replacement is typically not possible for individual components; if damaged, the entire glove may need to be replaced.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the gloves are exposed to harsh elements or used extensively. Check the leather's feel; if it appears dry, it's time for conditioning.
What is the warranty period for these gloves?
Warranty information can vary by region and retailer. Please check the product documentation or contact the place of purchase for specific warranty details.
Can these gloves be used with touchscreens?
Typically, motorcycle gloves with significant protective elements like carbon fiber may not offer reliable touchscreen compatibility. It is best to check the product specifications or test a small area if this feature is critical.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure the wrist closure is properly adjusted. If the gloves are new, the leather may need a break-in period. Try wearing them around the house for short periods.
Stitching appears loose or damaged.
For minor issues, a leather repair specialist might be able to help. If the damage is significant, contact Dainese customer support or the retailer regarding warranty.
Leather feels stiff after drying.
Apply a specialized leather conditioner to restore suppleness. Ensure gloves are always air-dried naturally, away from heat.
Carbon knuckle protector feels uncomfortable.
Verify correct glove size and ensure the protector is aligned with your natural knuckle position. Some initial adjustment may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These gloves are designed for immediate use. Ensure the wrist closure is adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit, allowing full hand mobility without being too tight.
Compatibility: The long cuff is designed to integrate with the sleeves of most motorcycle jackets. For optimal fit, wear the glove and then slide your jacket sleeve over it, ensuring no bunching or restriction.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the gloves with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner specifically designed for motorcycle gear to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply sparingly and buff off any excess.
- Drying: If the gloves become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers), as excessive heat can damage the leather and stitching.
