Dainese X-Ride Gloves
Protective racing technology meets comfort. X-Ride are sports-cut leather gloves that use Ergo-Tek knuckle protection technology, created by mapping areas of MotoGPT riders’ gloves most susceptible to impact. The result is a glove that combines maximum protection, thanks to its nylon-carbon plates, with significant freedom of movement. The little finger, one of the most sensitive and fragile parts in an impact, is protected with a special thermoplastic plate, which limits any damage from the friction against asphalt or other surfaces. Large stretch areas are inserted on the back, upper fingers and thumb for maximum comfort. The goatskin used to create X-Ride offers excellent abrasion-resistance, maximum softness and flexibility. Smart Touch technology inserts on the fingers allow for the use of a smartphone, GPS or other touchscreen system with no need to remove the glove.

Sizing Information
Like other European based brands, we find Dainese gloves to run a bit on the snug side as compared to most US based brands. The fit is comparable to Alpinestars and REVIT. The tendency to run small is not so noticeable that we’d advise you to buy one size larger, but if you are sometimes in between sizes, your best shot would be to choose larger. Hopefully you’ve had some experience with buying gloves and can choose based upon the fit of a previous pair. If you have no previous experience with glove sizing, go here for help.
