FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?

These gloves are best suited for mild to warm riding conditions. They offer protection and some wind resistance but are not specifically waterproof or heavily insulated for extreme cold or heavy rain.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Dainese sizing chart available with the product details. Measure the circumference of your hand at the knuckles and the length of your palm, and compare these measurements to the chart. It's crucial to try them on if possible, as fit can be personal.

What is the primary benefit of the carbon knuckle protection?

The carbon knuckle protection provides superior impact resistance and abrasion durability compared to plastic or foam, significantly enhancing safety in the event of a slide or impact.

Can I use these gloves for everyday wear?

While made of high-quality leather, these gloves are engineered specifically for motorcycle riding with protective features. Their design and protective elements make them less suitable for casual, everyday wear.

How often should I condition the leather?

Conditioning frequency depends on usage and climate. Generally, conditioning every 3-6 months or whenever the leather feels dry is recommended to maintain its flexibility and longevity.

What maintenance is required for the carbon parts?

The carbon fiber components are highly durable and require minimal maintenance. They are designed to withstand impact and abrasion. Simply keep them clean from dirt and debris with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight initially

Leather gloves often require a break-in period. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your hand's shape. Avoid stretching them excessively.

Difficulty adjusting wrist strap

Ensure the strap is aligned correctly and not twisted. If the hook-and-loop closure is weak, it might indicate wear; clean the surfaces gently.

Stiffness after drying

The leather may have dried out. Apply a dedicated leather conditioner to restore suppleness. Ensure gloves are dried naturally away from heat.

Reduced grip over time

Clean the palm area with a slightly damp cloth to remove any surface oils or dirt. For persistent issues, consider a specialized leather cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Dainese Reacto Carbon Long Gloves are designed for immediate use. Ensure a proper fit by trying them on and adjusting the wrist closure strap for a secure, comfortable feel without restricting circulation. The long cuff should ideally integrate smoothly with your motorcycle jacket sleeves.

Compatibility: These gloves are primarily designed for motorcycle riding. They are compatible with a wide range of motorcycle jackets, especially those with longer sleeves or integration zips.

Care: To maintain the leather and protective qualities:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the gloves.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the conditioner manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Drying: If gloves become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
