Product Details
The Dainese Karakum Ergo-Tek is a lightweight, ventilated men's adventure motorcycle glove for warm-weather riding. This Black / Green version combines a breathable stretch-knit textile upper with a goatskin leather palm, giving the rider flexibility, control feel and reinforcement where it matters most.
Dainese's Ergo-Tek knuckle protection is shaped around the movement of the hand to balance impact coverage with mobility. The short cuff, pre-curved fingers and elasticated finger inserts make the glove well suited to summer touring, commuting and adventure riding.

Protection and Certification
The gloves are certified as Category II personal protective equipment to EN 13594:2015 Level 1. Ergo-Tek protection covers the knuckle area, while the goatskin palm and palm reinforcements add resistance in a key wear zone.
Warm-Weather Use
Karakum Ergo-Tek gloves are intended for summer and hot-climate riding. Dainese specifies a ventilated textile construction rather than a waterproof membrane, so riders needing wet-weather or cold-weather protection should choose a dedicated waterproof or insulated glove.
