Product Details
The Dainese Metrax Air men's summer motorcycle gloves in Black / Tidal Foam are short-cuff urban riding gloves designed for airflow, easy movement and everyday control in warm weather. Their ventilated textile construction keeps bulk low, while certified Level 1 protection covers road use without turning them into a heavy touring glove.

Dainese men's glove size guide
Measure around the palm just below the knuckles, without including the thumb. The values below are Dainese's current palm-circumference guide. The store selector uses 3XL where Dainese writes XXXL.
| Size | XS | S | M | L | XL | XXL | 3XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Palm circumference | 19.1 cm | 20.3 cm | 21.6 cm | 22.9 cm | 24.1 cm | 25.4 cm | 26.7 cm |
Gloves should be secure without restricting finger movement or creating pressure across the knuckles. If your measurement falls between sizes, fit can also depend on finger length and hand shape. See the official Dainese product page and size guide, or visit Moto Central for fitting help.
