✓ Strengths

• Goatskin and mesh combined – Dane alternates leather where resistance is needed and breathable mesh where air is needed
• Mesh inserts on the back and between the fingers – this is where most of the air flows; a perforated leather patch completes the ventilation on the side of the hand
• Soft knuckle protector – Dane describes it as more yielding to the touch: it absorbs impact without stiffening the hand closure
• EN 13594, level 1 KP homologation – with dedicated knuckle protection
• Double-layer palm – reinforced where the glove first rubs
• Reinforced fingers – the part that wears out on the levers
• Adjustable short cuff – fits under the sleeve, closes at the wrist
• Stretchy panels – the hand closes on the handlebars without forcing

Who is it perfect for

It's the summer glove for those who don't want to give up leather. In summer, the choice is almost always between a textile glove, cool but prone to wear, and a leather one, protective but hot: here Dane alternates the two, with leather where the glove needs resistance and large mesh inserts on the back and between the fingers where air flows. It retains knuckle protection and a double-layer palm, which are the two things that really matter when the hand hits the asphalt. The cuff is short and closes under the sleeve, and the EN 13594 level 1 KP places it among road and touring gloves. It's the glove to wear on the bike from May to September.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are they waterproof?
No, and that's intentional. The mesh inserts are specifically designed to allow air to pass through: they will get wet in the rain. These gloves are designed for hot weather, to be paired with a waterproof pair for mid-seasons. Those looking for a single glove for all year round should consider models with a Gore-Tex membrane.

Why leather and mesh together and not just fabric?
Because they perform two different functions. Leather withstands abrasion in the areas that first make contact — palm, fingers, knuckles — while mesh allows air to pass through where the hand gets warm. Dane alternates them instead of choosing: you get the durability of leather without the feeling of your hand being enclosed in a box.

What protection do they offer?
On the knuckles there is the soft Dane protector, which absorbs impact without stiffening the hand closure. The palm is double-layered, reinforced with an additional layer, and the fingers are reinforced: these are the areas that first make contact. The homologation is EN 13594 at level 1 KP.

Can they be used with a phone and navigator?
Yes. The thumb and index finger have touchscreen-compatible fingertips, so you can use the navigator or answer the phone without removing the glove. This is a convenience that is especially appreciated in summer in the city, where you constantly stop and start.
