Dainese Double Carbon D-Dry Gloves

By Anonymous from Australia

Pros: They're warm. and really well made.

Cons: aside from the visible carbon knuckle protection there is very little armour in the glove and i'd be worried if i came off. it's more like a snow glove than a bike glove. I couldn't feel the indicator and frequently missed it in traffic on wet roads... not the best time. The WORST part of these gloves is that they take 15 minutes to put on properly, putting the jacket between the double cuffs on the gloves and trying to do things up with no feeling. make sure the key is in the bike first. I'm also really confused because both my textile and leather dainese jacket is too tight in the cuff to do up when wearing a long sleeve under my jacket with the glove. Basically i'm going to have to wear a t-shirt or a light thermal underneath my jacket when it's cold. This could be seen as a problem with the jackets rather than the glove, but it's all dainese gear so it should work.

Sizing Info: Fits 1 size smaller

Additional Sizing Notes: Dainese just dont make big enough gloves. My shop got in a couple of pairs of winter gloves for me and these were the biggest Dainese ones i could get. (second Dainese pair although listed as same size were far too small in XXL)

I really like these gloves as far as warmth goes, but unless you're rugging up for a long stint on the bike in the rain then the time and discomfort putting them on makes it not worth it. My bike's my primary transport but i still prefer to avoid heading out for a long period expecting rain... and if your just running to the shops it's not worth 15 minutes to have dry hands. impractical.
