Dane 105.583.170 Rorvig Ventilated Mesh Summer Motorcycle Gloves Black/Brown

Dane Rorvig: summer motorcycle gloves in ventilated mesh in Black/Brown (Dane code 105.583.170). Mesh panels on the back and between the fingers, flexible TPR knuckle protector, reinforced leather palm, adjustable short cuff, and touchscreen fingertips. Homologation EN 13594 level 1 KP.

✓ Strengths

• Strategically placed mesh panels – Dane describes them as "strategically placed to ensure maximum airflow": on the back and between the fingers, i.e., where the hand heats up
• Flexible TPR knuckle protector – absorbs impact without stiffening the back: Samso and Vidar, the other two Dane summer models, do not feature TPR
• Reinforced leather palm – this is the area that touches first when the hand slides, and it remains leather even though the rest is mesh
• EN 13594, Level 1 KP homologation – with certified knuckle protection
• Stretch panels – the hand can grip the handlebars without forcing
• Short and adjustable cuff – no bulk under the sleeve
• Touchscreen compatible thumb and index finger – a layer of conductive fabric on the fingertips, for using the navigator without removing the glove
• Four color options – each with its own dedicated listing

Who it's perfect for

It's the glove for true summer, when a full leather glove becomes a problem. Dane classifies the Rorvig for hot weather and builds it accordingly: the mesh is not a decorative insert but the structure of the back, with panels placed where the hand heats up, and leather is only used where it's truly needed — the palm, which is the part that touches first when sliding. The knuckles feature a flexible TPR protector: it absorbs impact but flexes with the back of the hand, which is why it's preferred over a rigid shell on a summer glove, which would stiffen the grip on the handlebars. The cuff is short and adjustable, and the thumb and index fingertips have conductive fabric for touchscreen compatibility. It's also the most accessible in Dane's summer glove range.

Frequently Asked Questions

How cool are they, really?
The mesh here is not an insert: it's the structure of the back, and Dane describes it as strategically placed to ensure maximum airflow. Leather remains on the palm, where resistance is needed. It is the glove in the Dane summer range with the highest proportion of mesh, and it is designed for hot weather.

What is the flexible TPR protector?
TPR is a thermoplastic that absorbs and distributes impact, instead of just adding thickness. Here Dane states it is flexible: it flexes with the back of the hand, which is why it's preferred over a rigid shell on a summer glove, as a rigid shell would stiffen the grip on the handlebar.

Are they waterproof?
No, and they couldn't be: they don't have a membrane and the back is made of open mesh. They will get wet in the rain. These are the gloves to keep on your bike in summer, to complement a waterproof pair for uncertain days. Those looking for a single glove for all year round should look at models with a GORE-TEX membrane.

Do they have a visor wiper?
No. The official Dane datasheet for the Rorvig does not mention a visor wiper on the index finger or reflective elements, which other gloves in the range do have. This is consistent with the lightweight construction and price positioning, but it's important to know before ordering.
