Product Information

Full details

The Oxford Dakar 1.0 Motorcycle Gloves are designed for adult male riders seeking comfort and protection, especially during warm weather. Their key benefit is superior breathability combined with robust leather palm protection. A potential caveat is that while ideal for summer, they might offer less insulation in colder conditions. These gloves feature a full leather palm, a hidden knuckle protector, and a ventilated design, making them suitable for both short rides and longer tours.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for all seasons?

The Oxford Dakar 1.0 gloves are primarily designed for warm weather riding due to their high level of ventilation. They may not provide adequate warmth or insulation for cold or wet conditions.

What is the main benefit of the full leather palm?

The full goat leather palm offers superior abrasion resistance, providing enhanced durability and protection in case of a slide.

How do I know if the knuckle protector is effective?

The gloves are CE-Level 1 KP Certified (EN13594:2015), which means they have been tested and meet stringent safety standards for knuckle protection.

Can I use my phone with these gloves on?

Yes, the forefinger and thumb are equipped with touchscreen-compatible material, allowing you to operate most touchscreen devices without removing the gloves.

What is the purpose of the Amara overlay?

The Amara overlay is a reinforcement on the palm that adds an extra layer of protection and increases the overall durability of the glove.

How should I clean my gloves?

Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking.

What does 'floating, hidden PU knuckle protector' mean?

This means the knuckle protector is integrated discreetly under the outer layer of the glove, providing protection without being visibly prominent or overly stiff.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the hook & loop cuff for a secure and comfortable fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider trying a different size.

Touchscreen compatibility is not working.

Ensure the specific part of the glove (forefinger or thumb) is clean and dry. Some screen protectors may affect sensitivity. Gently rub the screen with the compatible area.

Reduced ventilation on hot days.

Check that the ventilation panels are not obstructed by debris or dirt. Ensure the gloves are the correct size; overly tight gloves can restrict airflow.
