FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for all seasons?

The Oxford Dakar 1.0 gloves are primarily designed for warmer weather due to their high level of ventilation. For cold or wet conditions, separate, more insulated gloves would be recommended.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Oxford Products. Measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your middle finger. Compare these measurements to the chart to find your recommended size. It's crucial to have a snug fit for optimal protection and function.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, protective elements, and ventilation features. Hand wash gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and always air dry.

What does Level 1 KP Certified mean?

Level 1 KP certification (EN13594:2015) signifies that the gloves meet specific European safety standards for impact and abrasion resistance, ensuring a baseline level of protection for motorcycle riders.

How durable is the leather palm?

The gloves feature a full leather palm constructed from goat leather, known for its excellent abrasion resistance and durability, providing reliable protection against road friction.

Will the reflective details wear off?

The reflective details are designed to be durable, but like any printed or applied element, excessive abrasion or improper cleaning could potentially affect their longevity over time.

Can I use these gloves with heated grips?

Yes, the gloves are compatible with heated grips. The materials used do not impede the effectiveness of heated grips.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Leather gloves may require a break-in period. Try wearing them for short periods indoors to allow them to mold to your hands. Adjust the hook & loop cuff to the most comfortable setting.

Touchscreen functionality is inconsistent.

Ensure the fingertips are clean and dry. The touch sensitivity can be affected by moisture or dirt. Make sure the conductive material on the thumb and forefinger is making good contact with the screen.

Hands feel warm but not excessively sweaty.

This is the intended performance. The ventilation is designed to manage heat and moisture effectively. If hands still feel too warm, consider that these are primarily summer gloves.

Reduced grip or slippery feel.

Ensure the leather palm is clean and dry. If the gloves have been treated with a conditioner, allow it to fully absorb before riding. Check for any foreign substances on the palm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no specific setup. Simply ensure you select the correct size for a snug but comfortable fit. Adjust the hook & loop cuff for a secure closure over your riding jacket sleeves or under them, as preferred.

Compatibility: The Oxford Dakar 1.0 gloves are designed for use with most motorcycles and scooters. The touchscreen-compatible forefinger and thumb work with most capacitive touchscreen devices, including smartphones and GPS units.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your gloves:

Cleaning: Gently clean the gloves with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
Drying: Allow the gloves to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources such as radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather and materials.
Maintenance: Occasionally treat the leather palm with a leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
