FAQs

How do I determine my correct glove size?

Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point and the length of your hand from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. Compare these measurements to the Dainese size chart provided for these gloves.

Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?

These are primarily designed for warmer weather riding due to their short cuff and leather construction. They offer good abrasion resistance but lack significant waterproofing or heavy insulation for cold or wet conditions.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency depends on usage and climate. In dry or frequently used conditions, conditioning every 3-6 months is recommended. If the leather feels dry, condition it sooner.

Can I wash these gloves?

No, these leather gloves should not be machine washed or submerged in water. Cleaning should be done with a damp cloth, and conditioning applied as needed.

What is the warranty period for these gloves?

Please refer to the official Dainese warranty policy for the most accurate information regarding warranty periods and coverage, as this can vary by region and retailer.

Are the carbon knuckles protective enough for track days?

Yes, the carbon knuckle protection is designed to meet safety standards for impact and abrasion resistance, making them suitable for sport riding and track day use, provided the rest of the glove's fit and condition are appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size using the Dainese size guide. Leather gloves will break in and conform to your hand over time with use. Avoid using excessive force to put them on, which can damage stitching.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner specifically for motorcycle apparel. Follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid over-conditioning.

Stitching coming undone

Minor loose threads can be carefully trimmed. For significant stitching issues, contact Dainese customer support or a professional leather repair service.

Carbon knuckle feels uncomfortable

Ensure the glove is worn correctly and the knuckle protector is aligned with your hand's natural knuckle position. Some initial stiffness is normal; the glove will become more comfortable as it breaks in.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent impact protection from carbon knuckle.
  • Durable and comfortable leather build.
  • Enhanced grip and feel for motorcycle control.
  • Streamlined, short-cuff design for mobility.
  • Padded palm and fingers for added comfort.

Cons

  • May offer less coverage than full-length gauntlet gloves.
  • Leather requires specific care to maintain its condition.
  • Sizing must be precise for optimal performance and safety.
  • Carbon protection may add some stiffness initially.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These gloves are designed for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure you select the correct size by consulting the provided size guide. The adjustable wrist strap should be fastened snugly but comfortably to prevent the glove from slipping off during a ride, without restricting circulation.

Compatibility: Suitable for all types of motorcycles, from sport bikes to cruisers. They are designed to be worn with motorcycle jackets that have shorter cuff designs or with jackets that are worn over the gloves.

Care: To maintain the quality and lifespan of the leather:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the gloves with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner specifically designed for motorcycle gear to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and buff gently.
  3. Drying: If the gloves become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
