Sizing Information
Klim gloves fit more like American branded gloves than European branded gloves (which run a bit smaller). If you have experience with brands like FirstGear, Tour Master, Joe Rocket etc, I think you’ll find the fit comparable. If you have no previous experience with glove sizing, go here for help.
Our Two Cents
The Dakar Pro Gloves from Klim have a new version for 2022. This new version of the Dakar Pro glove for 2022 is a short cuff leather glove with armor over the fingers. These gloves are a great, light weight all-purpose riding gloves and they are super comfortable! Looking at them closely and comparing them to the 2021 version there are not a ton of changes that we can find with the exception of additional perforation in the knuckle armor, everything else seems to be about the same.
Here is our take on the older model for reference:
“This new version of the 2021 Dakar Pro has some subtle differences from the previous version. The fingers are more normally sized where last year’s version had a bit more slender fit in the fingers. And the palm side of this new glove has some perforations to make them a little more comfortable in hot weather. This glove has reflectives for night time visibility and a visor wiper is built onto the left index finger. It is also nice that the Velcro used on the cuff is the non-snag kind so they won’t eat the fabric of your sleeve.
The leather used in these gloves is great! If you like the feel of a snug fit, thin patrol type glove, you’ll like how these feel. Leather covers the entire palm side and the back side is a combination of textile materials and padded protectors. Those protectors are covered in perforated leather.
Klim touts them as being tough and highly durable. I personally think they’d be better characterized as being built for superior feel for the controls, but not for long term durability.”
The Dakar Pro feature touch screen compatibility on both the index finger and the thumb and in our testing work well for both iPhone and Android devices. :: Damir 3-16-24
