Questions and answers
Are these gloves waterproof? Dainese does not list a waterproof membrane for the Reacto Carbon Short. The perforated fingers make this model best suited to dry, warmer riding conditions.
How does the Short version differ from the Reacto Carbon Long? The short cuff is easier to combine with many jacket sleeves. The Long version adds a thermoformed sports cuff and further protection around the forearm and fingers.
How should I choose a size? Measure both hands and use the larger palm measurement. The glove should feel secure without restricting finger movement or creating pressure over the knuckle protector.
Moto Central fitting guidance
Visit Moto Central if you would like to compare sizes or the Long and Short versions. Check the cuff-to-sleeve overlap and make sure the throttle, levers and switches can all be operated naturally before riding.
Follow the care instructions on the product label. Keep your proof of purchase and consult Dainese's current warranty terms; any optional extended warranty depends on product eligibility and registration within the stated period.
